Working out of town
Get your mind off the project: meet an old friend or acquaintance for an evening of quality time. Better than another room-service salad.
For business travelers
Your week runs on airports, hotels and meeting rooms. apreet shows you which of your contacts are near each destination, before you fly, so you meet in person, not by accident.
If you travel for work every few weeks, the same cities come back around: the same client city, the same regional hub, the same conference circuit. Somewhere in that rotation are dozens of people you already know, colleagues who moved, old clients, former teammates, but keeping track of who is where, trip after trip, is not something anyone does by hand. So you do not. You land, you work, you go home, and the people you could have seen stay strangers to your calendar.
It adds up. A road-warrior year is fifteen, twenty, thirty trips, each one a missed chance to turn a business trip into a real relationship. Multiply one missed connection by every trip you take, and the cost is not one missed evening. It is a whole travel life spent passing people by.
apreet builds an itinerary from the events on your calendar (we use event titles, times and locations, never the notes), and overlays it against the people in your address book. You see in advance who you know at your destination. A mutual itinerary match needs you both on apreet, trips that overlap in time and place, and each other's numbers on both phones. Then you also see when your paths cross.
You stop relying on coincidence. You plan in person.
With apreet, in five steps. apreet does the first two; you pick the people, send the message and agree the time.
Yes. Most of what you see comes from your own address book, so your contacts do not need apreet.
| What you see | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Destination suggestions: people in your address book near your destination | A city or address saved on the contact. They do not need apreet, and no other apreet user sees these suggestions. |
| Mutual itinerary matches: the days your trips overlap | A mutual itinerary match needs you both on apreet, trips that overlap in time and place, and each other's numbers on both phones. |
Use cases
Get your mind off the project: meet an old friend or acquaintance for an evening of quality time. Better than another room-service salad.
Suddenly you have two free hours in a city full of people you know. apreet shows you who is nearby; ask who is free.
Find a friend in town for dinner, fast. Send a quick message and have somewhere to be tonight.
Want to meet more than one person at the same time? On iPhone, pick the recipients and send one message. On Android, message each one.
Who else will be at the airport? Maybe a coffee, catch up, or a shared cab into town.
apreet spots the conference in your calendar and shows who you know near the conference city. Contacts on apreet who confirmed the same event show up as going. Ask the rest, and meet them instead of waving across a room.
FAQ
No. apreet only surfaces people you already know, matched against the trips already on your calendar. There is no feed to check and no daily digest to maintain, since the core workflow is triggered by your next trip.
Yes, and that is where it helps most. Every time a trip comes up, apreet checks your address book again, so a contact who moved to that city since your last visit shows up on this trip even if they were not there on your first.
Yes. apreet is not a networking tool in the outreach sense. It does not ask you to build new contacts or work a room. It only ever shows you people already in your address book, so it fits travel that is about the job, not about meeting people.
