Why we built it
A good drive dies in the group chat.
The problem
Right now, finding someone to drive with means an Instagram DM, a Facebook group nobody checks, a WhatsApp thread with forty people in it, and a Discord you were added to once. You post on Tuesday hoping for Sunday. Meanwhile there are drivers fifteen minutes away, free this afternoon, who will never know you exist.
What Sarthe does
Sarthe is one place, built for one thing: finding the people near you who want to drive when you do.
The heart of it
A Ping is you, saying you're free.
Post one in about five seconds: now, later today or this week. Every driver inside your radius sees it. Someone answers, you agree where to meet, and it becomes a drive. No organizing committee.
-
They expire on their own"Now" lasts four hours, "later today" until the end of the day, "this week" until the end of the week. The board is never full of stale posts.
-
Alerts only when you ask for themTurn on "Alert me about nearby Pings" and Sarthe tells you about new Pings nearby for the next 30 minutes, then switches itself off. You will never be woken at 2am about a stranger's road trip.
-
Your location stays approximateBefore a Ping is saved, your position is rounded to an area about 1 km across. Others see "4.2 km away", never a street, never a house, never where your car is parked.
Routes
The road matters as much as the destination.
Drop pins for the corners worth taking and Sarthe works out the distance and the time. Keep a route to yourself, or publish it so the next person finds the good way instead of the fast way.

Navigate with what you already useOne tap hands the route to Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze. We are not trying to replace your sat-nav.
-
Rated by other driversA route's score comes from ratings by other drivers, so the good ones rise.
Everything else
Built for how enthusiasts actually meet.
Your garage
Add every car and bike you own, with make, model and year. It is the first thing people look at when deciding who to drive with, and the honest reason most of us are here.
Scheduled drives
For the runs that need a date. Set a meeting point and a time, say whether it's cars, bikes or both, and watch who's coming.
Reputation that means something
A thumbs up or down after a drive you actually went on, plus a count of drives completed. Meeting a stranger on a mountain road is a smaller leap when you can see they have done it twenty times.
Comments
Coordination happens in the open, under the drive, where everyone going can read it. Fewer side channels, fewer people turning up at the wrong petrol station.
Cars and motorcycles, together
Two crowds that keep passing each other on the same roads. Filter to your own if you want to, or don't.
No ads, no trackers
No ads and no analytics trackers. We don't sell your data. Deleting your account deletes your account and the data linked to it.
Launching in Cyprus. Open to drivers everywhere.
Sarthe starts in Limassol and the rest of Cyprus, so if you are elsewhere there may be few people near you at first. You can still sign up, save routes and plan drives, and you will be there when your area grows.
