Rivetspace vs Crossed Paths

Rivetspace turns the place you are in into a live social space. Open the app at a cafe, campus, concert, stadium, subway, bus, square, terminal, or any crowded moment to discover nearby Rivetspace users. Space posts belong to the moment. Profiles, comments, and posts are shaped by physical proximity; when you leave the space, the feed does not become a permanent archive. Every space gives you a fresh start to discover people and grow your friend list through real encounters. Think of Rivetspace as a social signal finder for people around you: open it, see nearby profiles, join the moment, and keep the connection as a friendship if you want.

Crossed Paths turns the photos already on your phone into a private map of everywhere you have been - then shows you who else has been standing in those same places. How it works The app reads only the date and GPS coordinates stored inside your photo files. It never uploads your photo library - only the one card photo you choose for route twins. Places are compared as coarse map cells; route twins can also see the ~100 m spots you have both been to, and you can switch that off. YOUR OWN MAP, FOR EVERYONE - On this day - what you were doing on this date in past years - World map poster - a shareable picture of your travels, ready to post Then there are two ways to share it. WITH A FRIEND, BY INVITE CODE Send a code to a friend or partner and your two maps get compared. - Shared places - every spot the two of you have both stood in, pinned on one map - Close calls - the same place on the same day, or only just missed, like "you missed Maya by two days" WITH THE PEOPLE YOU ALMOST MET (18+) Route twins is the other half: cards for people whose photos land in the same places yours do. The stranger from your street, your festival, the park you both walk through. - Add a photo to your card and you are dealt into other people's decks - and theirs into yours. No photo, no deck, both ways - Swipe right to wave, left to pass - and waves are silent, so nobody is ever told they were passed on - Wave at each other and it is a match, with a conversation that opens right inside the app - Every match shows the ground you already share: the places both your routes pass, on a map you can open pin by pin - Your card is yours - a name and a photo, plus an age and a line about you whenever you feel like adding them - Unmatch at any time. It removes the match and the whole conversation for both of you, and nobody is notified - Report any card or message. Reports are reviewed, and a card that breaks the rules comes down - Not in the mood? Turn matching off and your card leaves the pool No live tracking, and never your live location. Just the quiet thrill of finding out you were on the same block, the same summer, years before you ever said hello - and, now, the chance to say it. WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S PAID Free, always: - Your full personal map, with every pin, place and city - Friends by invite code, and every place you and a friend have both been - On this day memories from your own photos - Your shareable world map poster - Alerts when a friend joins or your shared places grow - Rescan your library any time - Route twins: 10 cards on your first day, then 2 a day - Open and answer 2 of the people who wave at you - Matches and chat Crossed Paths Pro, an auto-renewing subscription: - Close calls: where and when you and a friend were in the same place on the same day, or only just missed each other - Unlimited route twins - Everyone who waved at you, all at once Close calls need at least one friend; route twins need a photo on your card. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
