Friends. Cities. Trips.
Sparrow keeps a small, quiet map of the friends who matter — see where they are, where they're going, and when your paths cross.
Free on iOS · 30-second sign-up · No public profile
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.
That's it.

How sparrow works
Three small ideas,
held quietly together.
02
CitiesUpdate yours when you move.
Friends do the same. Sparrow plots a quiet little map of where everyone is, with no precise location ever shared.

03
TripsAdd a plan.
Sparrow watches the dates and tells you when your route lines up with a friend’s — before either of you has booked the dinner.

On your phone
A map of the people,
not the world.
Open sparrow and you see your friends, the cities they're in, and the trips that'll cross yours. Nothing else.
A typical Tuesday in May
When paths cross.
How sparrow notices that two friends are about to share a city — without checking in, without a feed, without anyone telling it to.
- iA friend at home
Maya lives in Reykjavik. She has for two years. The app has known her city the whole time — she set it once, she'll change it when she moves.
- iiA trip booked
In Buenos Aires, Otis buys a flight on a Tuesday afternoon. He opens sparrow and adds the dates — May 18 to 22, Reykjavik.
- iiiSparrow notices
That evening, both of their phones light up. ✦ Maya & Otis's paths will cross in Reykjavik. No feed. No suggestion. Just a small note, between two friends who'd otherwise have missed each other.
That's the whole app.

Sparrow is for the people
you'd cross a city for.
What people ask.
Is sparrow free?
Yes — completely free, no in-app purchases, no ads.
How do I get in?
Anyone can sign up. To see friends, ask one of them for a group invite link.
Is my location shared with strangers?
No. Your city is only visible to friends in groups you've joined — and only if you turn on "Show me on the map."
Why is it invite-only?
Because friends-of-friends-of-friends isn't a friend.
Where can I get help?
sparrow.love/support or email support@sparrow.love.
Get sparrow.
Free, on iOS. Add the friends who matter — the rest of the internet can wait.
