Near - People Near You

Description

Stop typing usernames into strangers' phones.

NEAR is the fastest way to share your Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and more — with anyone standing next to you. No QR codes. No phone numbers. No awkward "what's your @ again?"

Just open NEAR, tap a name, and you've traded socials.

HOW IT WORKS

NEAR uses your phone's Bluetooth to find other NEAR users nearby — at coffee shops, conferences, classes, networking events, anywhere. Open the app, tap a person, see their socials, and tap to follow them on the platform of their choice. The whole thing takes three seconds.

You're in full control:
• Show only the socials you want
• Drag to reorder which appears first
• Stop sharing anytime with a single tap
• Pin people you actually want to remember — they're saved to your Pins page

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

• Networking events — skip the business card shuffle
• Conferences — trade socials with five people in a hallway, not five over LinkedIn after
• Classes & dorms — meet people in your building without asking for a number
• Bars & coffee shops — connect without the awkward "let me find your handle"
• Travel — meet other travelers at hostels, on tours, in airports

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Your profile is only visible when you actively tap "Start Sharing"
• Bluetooth detection is short-range (about 30 feet) — no city-wide broadcasting
• No phone numbers required
• No follower counts, no public profiles, no algorithm
• Your Pins are stored only on your device unless you choose to back them up

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

Instagram • X (Twitter) • TikTok • LinkedIn • Snapchat • Threads • Discord — and more coming.

NO ACCOUNTS TO MANAGE

Sign up with your email. Add a name, a photo, and one social. That's it. Open the app, tap Start, and you're discoverable to other NEAR users in range.

Whether you're at a music festival, a startup mixer, a family wedding, or your local bar — NEAR makes "let's connect" actually happen.

Download NEAR. Meet the people next to you.
