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.
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 just satisfy your curiosity.
Every day at 4am your list resets. Fresh start. New day. New people to discover.

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 — no fakes
Disappear from nearby feeds instantly — you can still see others
Set the hours you're discoverable — location only runs in your 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.
Start free. Upgrade when you're ready.
