sparrow — friends nearby

sparrow keeps you in touch with the friends who actually matter. Most apps make it harder to stay close. Endless feeds, strangers' takes, ads, notifications about people you barely know. sparrow does the opposite. You add the friends you care about into private groups, and the app shows you where they are, where they're going, and when your paths cross. Open the home screen and you see the cities your friends are in right now, dropped on a clean map. Add your upcoming trips and so do they. When two trips overlap — same city, same week — sparrow tells you. That's it. No feed, no posts, no ads. What you can do • See your friends' cities on a map (city-level only — never live location). • Plan trips and let your group know where you'll be. • Create events for your group — a dinner, drinks, a weekend away. • RSVP and see who else is in. • Get a quiet notification when a friend lands in your city. Privacy isn't a marketing line • No tracking. No analytics. No third-party SDKs that watch you. • No advertising. Ever. • City-level only. The app reads your phone's location only while you have it open and have given permission, and saves only the city — not coordinates. • Only your group-mates see your data. Strangers can't see anything. Built for small circles — friends, families, the group of people you'd actually want to grab dinner with.
