Halfway gets you to your friends without ever revealing where either of you are. Just a walking time, one turn at a time — until you find each other, halfway.

No spam. Just one email when we launch, and maybe a beta invite.
Most location apps show everyone exactly where you are, all the time. Halfway flips that: you earn each other's location by walking toward it.
Your contacts, your rules. See only a walking time — "Sam is 12 minutes away" — never a pin on a map. Each friend chooses what you can see of them.
Tap to navigate and get exactly one instruction: "Turn left onto Park Road." The route reveals itself only as far as you can already see.
They can walk toward you too. Your routes converge naturally, and when you're steps apart — a little celebration. You found each other.
Halfway was designed so that trusting us isn't required — our servers physically can't see where you are.
Locations travel peer-to-peer, sealed with keys that exist only on your devices. Not us, not anyone in between — only your friend can decrypt them.
No destination pin, no full route preview. You get the next turn and a live ETA — the meeting place reveals itself as you walk.
Per-friend permissions: ask first, always find me, show when nearby, or hidden. Flip on ghost mode to disappear entirely, any time.
Halfway uses your phone's contacts for names and photos. No usernames, no bios, no social graph for anyone to mine.
When you both start walking, your routes converge on their own. No awkward "where exactly are you?" texts — you just meet, halfway.
Location sharing is bounded to the meetup and stops the moment you find each other. Nothing runs in the background afterward.
We designed Halfway so the answer to "do you track me?" is provable, not promised.
Launching soon on Android, with iOS to follow. Early birds get beta access.
