Derive

Dérive, it is an address, a direction, a distance, and nothing more!

Look up, turn your head, zigzag: Dérive is micro-adventure around the corner! The certainty of arriving at your destination, but without any suggested or imposed route.

The arrow gives you the direction, but you are the one choosing your path according to your intention (avoiding crowded roads, discovering a new street, daring to get lost...) rather than always opting for the most optimised route. Intuition, surprise, confidence: rediscover what the algorithms try to make you forget.

Dérives can be shared!
A meeting point, a cool exhibition, a restaurant to try? Send a dérive to your friends and guide them to your favourites. Leave them a note to discover when they arrive at the place you chose!

Surprise mode!
Wanna play? Share a surprise dérive with your friends by hiding the exact address from them. Let them strive to discover the spot where you are taking them. On arrival, the address and your secret message will be revealed. Ideal for a first date, a birthday party or a little thrill in your daily life!

So download the app, discover your city and share your adventures!

Need more reasons to use Dérive?
Dérive is committed to intimate, human, local and responsible travel:

- Intimate: Dérive does not collect your personal data, because it does not need it to work, and because your private life is none of our business. Even if many other applications would say the opposite ;)

- Human: Moving around all the time optimizing your way is for robots, not for humans. No need to look for speed and efficiency when you just want to enjoy the ride. Dérive just helps you rediscover the pleasure of strolling.

- Local: London is not New York, Paris is not Los Angeles and Rome is not Atlanta. Our cities are not gridded and designed for cars. They are full of hidden spots and are a paradise for pedestrians. So why use the same navigation app to get around?

- Responsible: Dérive is a lightweight application. It doesn't need to constantly optimize your journey time and display a map full of information to work. As a result, there is less CO2 emitted and less impact on your battery!

Dérive requires a working compass on your smartphone.
