3 people are within 100 ft of you

the people on your feed. the people right next to you.

NEAR shows you the strangers physically around you and lets you trade socials in one tap. No feed. No DMs. No algorithm picking who you meet. Just air — and the people sharing it.

How close is "near"

closer than the
nearest cardio
machine.

100 feet is the room you're already in. The coffee line. The lecture hall. The bar. The other side of the gym. NEAR ignores the rest of the internet and surfaces the people you could literally wave at.

How it works

three taps.
that's the whole app.

/ avg setup time: 47s

Set up once

Drop your socials.

Paste the @s you already use — Instagram, X, TikTok, whatever. No new profile to build, no bio to agonize over.

Add as many platforms as you want

When you're out

Tap Start Sharing.

You go visible to other NEAR users inside your 100 ft bubble. Walk away and you vanish — nothing about your location is ever stored.

Off by default. You're invisible until you tap

Then connect

Tap who's around.

See the handful of people in range, sorted closest first. Tap anyone to trade socials and take it to the apps you already live on.

No in-app DMs — just a clean handoff

irl > url touch grass · politely Why we built it

shyness shouldn't
→ cost you the room.

Everyone has noticed someone interesting across a room and done absolutely nothing about it. The fear of saying hi, the fear of being weird, the fear of being told no — it adds up to a quiet life full of strangers you'll never meet again. We built NEAR to take that whole exchange off your shoulders. No cold opener, no shooting your shot, no rejection on the table. Just: they're around, you're around, here are the socials. Walk away with a contact or don't. The whole thing is over in 90 seconds.
