Ships: Meet Friends of Friends
Meet your friends’ friends
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Ships shows you friends of friends nearby and makes it easy to invite them out.
With Ships, meeting the right people doesn't have to come down to chance encounters. Ships shows you friends of friends nearby and gives you a simple way to invite them to meet up.
How it works
______________
Discover a friend of a friend nearby.
Invite them with the tap of a button.
Meet in person.
What you can do
__________________
• Explore the map — see friends and friends of friends who are nearby right now
• Send invites from one simple feed — a natural way to reach people you already share a friend with
• Track every invitation — keep tabs on what you've sent and received, on both the map and the feed
• See how you're connected — every profile shows the mutual friend you share, so you always know how you know them
Privacy and Security
______________________
• Choose who sees you — Friends + Friends of Friends, Friends Only, or Nobody
• Friends of friends only ever see an approximate area, never your exact location — and you choose how large that area is
• Fuzz your location — give chosen friends a rough area instead of your exact location
• Private Mode — hide your profile and location from everyone but your friends, instantly
• Go off the map — turn your location off entirely, anytime
• Mute anyone — they can't see your location and you can't see theirs, though you can still message them
• Block anyone — blocked people can't see your profile or location, and can't message you
Made for real life
__________________
• New in town? Build a circle you can trust, starting with the people already connected to your friends.
• Out at a bar, party, or event? See which friends of friends are around.
• Growing your circle? Expand it through real connections.
Built on trust
______________
Ships never shows you to strangers. Everyone you see is connected to you through a mutual friend, and your location is never shared with anyone you don't want seeing it. You decide what you share and who sees it — always.
This is social media, finally social. Ships is for the people you'd actually want to know.
Discover, Invite, Meet.
