For iPhone
Run into your friends.
runinto puts friends on your map only while you're within a mile of each other, and only if it goes both ways. Get a nudge when someone's close. Keep the times you actually meet.
How it works
Close enough to say hi.
Never closer than that.
Inside the mile
Friends show up only inside your 1-mile circle. Everything further out fades to paper, and never reaches your phone.
A nudge, not a feed
"Maya is nearby 👀" At most once every few hours per friend, and never during your quiet hours.
Collect the run-ins
Hang out for a few minutes and runinto asks if you want to save it. It's kept only if you both say yes.
Inside the app
Small, honest, a little bit yellow.
Only inside the mile
Friends within a mile show up on the map. Everything further out fades to paper.
Always know who sees you
Tap the pill for the exact list. It's the same people you can see.
Your circle
Mutual contacts join automatically. Everyone else needs a request.
Exact, fuzzy or hidden
Choose how precisely each friend sees you, or hide from them without telling them.
Ghost mode
Disappear for an hour, a night or until you turn it off. You see nobody while you're gone.
The privacy contract
Seven rules. In the app word for word, enforced by the server.
A map of your friends is only okay if it can't turn into tracking. So these aren't settings, they're how runinto works. Full privacy policy
- Nobody can see you unless they are your friend and within 1 mile of you right now.
- It's mutual: if someone can see you, you can see them. "Who can see me" and "who I can see" are the same list.
- Ghost mode hides you from everyone. While you're a ghost, you can't see anyone either.
- Hide from someone and neither of you sees the other. They aren't told.
- Block someone and they can never see you, find you by number, or add you again, even if you blocked their number before they joined.
- Where your friends are outside the 1-mile circle is never sent to your phone, in any form.
- We don't keep a location history. Your live location expires on its own. The only places kept are meetups you and your friend both chose to save, stored as a place name, never coordinates.
Questions
Does runinto keep my location history?
No. Your live position expires on its own within 30 minutes and is never written to a database. The only places kept are meetups you and a friend both chose to save, stored as a place name.
Can friends see me when I'm across town?
No. If you're more than a mile apart, the server doesn't send them your location at all, so there's nothing on their phone to hide.
Who can add me?
People who have each other in their contacts become friends automatically, and you review that list before anything is shared. Anyone else has to send a request you accept.
What if I want to disappear for a bit?
Turn on ghost mode for an hour, a night or until you turn it off. Nobody sees you, and you don't see anyone, until it ends. You can also hide from one person without them being told.
Is it on Android?
Not yet. runinto is iPhone first.
