# apreet > apreet helps business travelers see who they already know near each trip destination, and shows mutual itinerary matches only when both users overlap and both phones have each other's number. Not a place to meet strangers, not a CRM, not a travel-booking tool. apreet uses only the date and location of your calendar events (never the notes) and the city in your contacts. It connects people who are already in each other's address books and both use apreet. It does not broadcast live location, does not show strangers, and uses cookieless analytics. Free beta on iOS (TestFlight) and Android (Play Beta). apreet is short for "appreciate to meet" and was founded in April 2015. ## Start here - [How apreet works](https://apreet.com/how-it-works): The mechanism in plain steps: read calendar location, place contacts on the map, overlay both itineraries, reach out before you arrive.
