Discover who's around you
See who you crossed paths with today. The person at the coffee shop, the gym, the grocery store. They might be near.
You are the ad.
Be seen without saying a word. The most powerful networking and marketing tool is just showing up.
Near runs quietly in the background, detecting other users within 0.1 miles of you throughout your day.
Near checks your location once per minute. Your exact location is never shared with anyone — ever.
When another Near user comes within 0.1 miles of you, they're added to your daily nearby list.
Browse who was near you today. Unlock their socials, send a message or a wink, or just satisfy your curiosity.
Every day at 4am your list resets. Fresh start. New day. New people to discover.

Built for real life encounters, not endless scrolling.
Near was built with privacy at its core. We collect only what we need and delete it on a strict schedule.
All location data deleted automatically every day
Messages retained for support only, then deleted
Your exact location is never visible to other users
Every account verified by phone number to keep fakes out
Disappear from nearby feeds instantly. You can still see others.
Set the hours you're discoverable. Location only runs inside that window.
Save up to 2 places, like home or work, where you vanish completely. Drop a pin on a map, pick a radius, and Near stops uploading your location the moment you step inside. Step out and you reappear automatically.
For your safety, newly detected users don't appear on your feed for 15 minutes after detection. This prevents real-time tracking and protects all users from being immediately identified.
Start free. Upgrade when you're ready.
Available on iOS and Android. Free to download.
