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 — 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 access to your photo library — CrossedPaths reads the GPS coordinates and timestamps embedded in your photos, right on your device. It takes seconds.

2. Your partner does the same on their phone — each of you grants photo access separately with your own account.

3. CrossedPaths finds every moment your paths crossed — every time you were in the same place at the same time, before you ever knew each other existed.

The results appear on a real interactive map. Gold pins mark the moments you nearly met. Tap any pin to see exactly how close you were, what date it was, and where it happened. Watch the cinematic reveal as your crossed paths light up one by one.

YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS

Your photos are scanned entirely on your device — they never leave your phone. We extract only the location coordinates and timestamps to find overlaps with your partner. We do not sell data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not track you in real time. CrossedPaths only looks backward — at the location history already embedded 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.
