About Citylap

Stay close to the people who matter, without sacrificing your privacy. Citylap lets you share your location with friends and family through a simple, city-level view — so they know you're in town, not your exact street corner. Everything is protected with end-to-end encryption, meaning your location data is readable only by the people you choose. Not even we can see it. Whether you're traveling, planning to meet up, or just want to know when a friend lands in your city, Citylap keeps you connected on your terms. Why Citylap? - End-to-end encrypted — Your location is encrypted on your device before it's ever stored. Only the people you approve can see it. - City-level by design — Share the city you're in, not precise GPS coordinates. Privacy is the default, not an afterthought. - Overlap alerts — Get notified when a friend arrives in your city, so you never miss a chance to meet up. - Time machine — Look back at where friends have been, or share your future travel plans so people know when you'll be around. - Granular controls — Decide per person what they can see: your current city, your location history, or your upcoming plans. - Find friends easily — Connect with people already on Citylap through secure, privacy-preserving contact matching. Your contacts are never exposed. - React and stay in touch — Send lightweight reactions to keep the connection warm. Your data, your rules. Citylap is built privacy-first from the ground up. Location data is end-to-end encrypted, you control exactly who sees what, and you can revoke access at any time. Download Citylap and stay connected with the people who matter — privately.
