One map for your people and your plans.
Partymetro is where plans actually happen. A private map of the people you choose. Invitations anyone can answer straight from a link — no app, no account. Trips that quietly tell you when your paths will cross. And recommendations from people whose taste you already trust. From Tuesday-night dinner to the wedding of the year.
Three things, one place.
Each is useful alone. Together they replace the group chat that never decides anything.
See your people
Your map shows the people you've chosen, at the precision they've chosen — an exact pin, a rough area, or just the city they're in. Notice a friend is nearby. Notice two of your circles are in the same town on Saturday. Then do something about it.
Make the plan
A dinner takes under a minute to set up. A trip takes not much longer — legs, dates, and who's coming. Every plan becomes its own page with the where, the when, the who, and a chat that only the people going can see.
Keep what's worth keeping
Split the bill without anyone doing maths at the table. Afterwards, the place you found goes into your circles' recommendations — so the next time someone asks "where was that restaurant?", the answer is already there.
If it involves your people and a time and a place, it belongs here.
Dinner parties
Eight people, one table, zero spreadsheets. Send the page, watch the yeses arrive, split the shopping at the end.
Parties
Birthdays, housewarmings, engagement drinks, New Year's. Open the doors wide or keep the list tight — plus-ones are your call, per guest.
Trips
The golf weekend, the villa week, the tour of the in-laws. Build the itinerary once and everyone sees the plan — and the map tells you when a friend's trip crosses yours.
Dates
Plan it properly, book somewhere your friends actually rate — and if you want, share your live pin with one trusted person for the evening. It switches itself off afterwards.
Days out
The Sunday walk, the gallery, the match, the car-boot run. Small plans deserve pages too — they're the ones that keep friendships running.
Reunions & weddings
The big ones, with guests from nineteen to ninety. Everyone RSVPs from a link in their browser — no downloads, no "which app is it again?" phone calls.
Recommendations
Reviews from strangers are a coin toss. Here, the restaurant, the campsite and the taxi number come from people you'd actually ask.
Passing things along
The bike your kid outgrew, the spare festival ticket, the sofa that won't fit the new flat. Offer it to your circles before the whole internet.
Coming laterFour steps, then it runs itself.
Build your circles
Closest friends. The work lot. Family. The five-a-side team. You decide the groups; nobody ever sees which circle they're in.
Choose what each circle sees
Exact pin for your closest few. Neighbourhood for friends. Just the city for everyone else — or nothing at all, which is where everyone starts. Live sharing always has an expiry.
Make plans
Dinners, parties, trips, anything with a when and a where. Each one gets a page, an invite list, and its own chat.
Everyone's in
Guests open the link, tap yes, done — in their browser if they don't have the app. Split the cost. Rate the venue. On to the next one.
Be there.
Not everywhere.
Most location apps start from "share everything, then untick boxes". Partymetro starts from silence. Nothing about you is visible to anyone until you choose the person, the precision, and the expiry.
Invisible is the default
A brand-new account shows nothing to nobody. Visibility is something you grant, not something you claw back.
Your circles are yours alone
No one can see which circle they're in, or that circles exist at all. Move someone from "exact pin" to "city only" and they will never know.
Precision is a dial, not a switch
Exact, neighbourhood, city, or country. "Neighbourhood" really means a one-kilometre square — never your street, never your door.
Everything expires
Going out and want to be findable? Share live until midnight, or until you leave. It ends on its own; no one has to remember.
The mirror
One screen shows exactly who can see you right now, and how precisely. If the mirror surprises you, fix it from the same screen.
Vanish in one touch
One control — on your lock screen, in your menu bar — hides you from everyone at once, instantly. No questions, nothing to configure.
Strangers can't reach you
Block someone and you disappear from each other entirely. Photos from people you're not connected to arrive blurred until you choose otherwise.
Your location isn't a product
Your precise location is held for at most 24 hours to run the map, then it's gone — it never enters our long-term records and it is never sold. Data lives on UK and EU servers. Partymetro is for adults: 18 and over.
Small screen out, big screen home.
The map lives in your pocket, but hosting is desk work. On Windows and macOS, Partymetro becomes the host's command centre: build the guest list, seat the tables, watch RSVPs land, settle the splits — with the same one-touch vanish in the menu bar.
Live location never broadcasts from a desktop; computers are for planning, phones are for being places.
Have a look around.
First in, best seated.
Partymetro launches in the UK in 2027, with early access before that — first in London, then everywhere. Leave your email and you'll be near the front of the queue. That's the whole transaction: one email, no noise, unsubscribe whenever.
Good to know.
When can I use it?
Early access begins in London in 2027, the UK follows later that year, and other countries after that. The early list is the front of the queue.
Do my guests need the app?
No — and this matters. Anyone you invite can open the link in a browser, see the plan, and RSVP in a few taps. No download, no account. The app is for the people running their lives here, not a toll booth for your granny.
Is it free?
Yes, and the map is never paywalled. Later, big hosts can pay for extras (very large guest lists, wedding tools), and when a host collects money for an event there's a small, clearly shown fee. That's the business — see the next answer.
So how do you make money, really?
Optional Pro tools, that small payments fee, and clearly labelled venue recommendations. Not by selling your data, and not by selling your location — which we couldn't do anyway, because we don't keep it (see below).
Who can see where I am?
Nobody, until you decide otherwise — person by person, at the precision you choose, always with an expiry. And you can check the "who can see me" mirror any time.
What happens to my location data?
Precise locations are held for at most 24 hours to draw the map, then discarded. They never enter long-term storage. Everything sits on UK and EU servers, and you can export or delete your account whenever you like.
Which devices?
iPhone and Android for out in the world; Windows and macOS for planning at a desk. Guests need none of these — a browser will do.
Who is it for?
Adults — 18 and over — who'd like getting together to take less admin. If your plans involve people, times and places, you're the audience. There is no upper age limit and no dress code.
