About CrossedPaths: Before You Met
Nick lived in Chicago. Michelle lived in New York. Different states, different lives. They wouldn't meet until January 2025. But when they started comparing their photo libraries, they found something that gave them chills. They'd been in the same places years before they met: not just in each other's cities, but in Tulum. Scottsdale. Even the middle of New Mexico. 800 feet apart in Chicago. Nine hours apart in Arizona. Less than a day apart in Mexico. Hundreds of near-misses across the country, spanning years. And they had no idea. So they built CrossedPaths, to help every couple discover their own story. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open CrossedPaths and allow photo access. CrossedPaths reads the location and time saved in your photos, right on your phone, and draws your path on a 3D globe. 2. Invite your partner with a link. They sign in with Apple, Google or email, and do the same on their phone. 3. CrossedPaths finds every near-miss from before you met: every trip where you were within about 30 miles of each other, within two weeks. They light up on your globe, one by one. Tap any one to see where it happened and how close you came. Got the date you met wrong? Change it on your partner's card and your near-misses recount. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE - Your own path on the globe - Your first connection, free - Every near-miss shown on the globe, with your top 3 fully unlocked CROSSEDPATHS PREMIUM: $4.99/month, or Lifetime with a one-time purchase. Premium covers you both. - Every near-miss unlocked, with the place, the date and how close you came - A searchable list of your near-misses, year by year - More connections: friends and family, not just your partner YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Your photos are read entirely on your phone and never leave it. We use only the location and time saved in them to find where your paths crossed. We do not sell your data. We do not track you in real time. CrossedPaths only looks backward, at the history already saved in your photos. This is not a tracking app. This is a love story app. BUILT BY A REAL COUPLE CrossedPaths was built by Nick and Michelle, an engaged couple from Chicago who kept finding their own near-misses and thought every couple deserved to discover theirs. This is a labor of love, not a venture-backed startup. Every feature exists because we wanted it for ourselves first. Your love story didn't start when you met. It started long before that. CrossedPaths helps you find the proof. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.crossedpaths.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.crossedpaths.ai/privacy
