Crossd
Read full descriptionHide full description
Crossd turns your location history into a living map of your life, then reveals something you have never been able to see: everywhere your path has crossed a friend's. YOUR LIFE ON ONE MAP Import your history privately from your photos and Google Timeline. Crossd turns years of places into a map you can explore, a travel passport of every country and continent you have reached, and a timeline of where you have been. THE PEOPLE YOU ALMOST MET Connect with a friend and Crossd finds where your paths overlapped: the same place at the same time, the spots you both know, and the near misses you never realised happened. It is the story of a friendship, told through the places you have shared. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your location history lives on your phone. Crossings are matched from anonymised tokens, never raw locations, and only ever between friends you have both accepted. Nothing is sold. Live sharing is off until you turn it on, and stops the moment you turn it off. LIVE, IF YOU WANT IT Share your live location with the friends you choose, see them on the map, and get a gentle nudge when you are nearby. Entirely opt in. REWARDS Earn a Crossd level, keep weekly meet-up streaks alive, complete challenges, and unlock milestones as your map grows. Start with sample data to see how it works, or sign in and build your own.

Have we met before? crosd reads only the where and when stored in your photos, draws a private map of everywhere you have been, and — only when both sides agree — compares it with someone else's to reveal the places you were both standing long before you ever met. The café you both sat in on a Tuesday in 2019. The same platform, eleven minutes apart. The city you always thought you visited alone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Draw your trace. crosd reads the location and date stamps of your photo library, right on your phone, and turns them into a private map of places and years. 2. Send an invite. A one-time link or QR code to the person you are curious about. 3. Compare. Both traces are matched and you see every place and moment where your paths crossed. WHAT YOU GET • Every crossing with the place, the date and how many minutes apart you were • A map of your own trace, year by year, city by city • A history of everyone you have compared with • Share cards for the crossings that are too good to keep to yourself BUILT SO WE COULD NOT PEEK • Your photos never leave your phone. Not one of them is uploaded. • crosd reads metadata only — where and when. Never what is in the picture. • Comparing is a hashed handshake. Neither side sees the other's map, only the points that match. • Nothing is ever compared without both people tapping yes. • Delete your trace whenever you want and it is gone. FREE AND PRO Your trace and every crossing you have already found are yours free, forever. Your first comparison is free too. crosd Pro unlocks unlimited comparisons with unlimited people and every crossing inside every result. crosd Pro is $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year (prices may vary by region).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Crossd at none against Have we met before's 2. Crossd also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). Have we met before's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
