A quiet space for your 12 closest people. No posts, no feeds, no noise — just the gentle presence of the ones who matter.
Parents with kids away at college, who just want to know they're okay without being overbearing.
Best friends across time zones, who miss knowing what part of someone's day it is.
Tight-knit groups who are done with group chats that feel like obligations.
Invite the people who actually matter. Not followers — your inner circle.
neare. picks up signals passively — your location, your activity, your music. No tapping required.
See a living picture of your people. Who's active, who's quiet, who's listening to what.
Nothing to compose, curate, or overthink. Your presence speaks for itself.
No infinite scroll. No algorithmic noise. Just the people you chose to keep close.
Intimacy by design. A hard cap means every person on your list truly belongs there.
Your people see "Westlands" or "Brooklyn" — never your exact coordinates.
Turn off location, activity, or music sharing individually. Anytime.
Presence data is permanently deleted after 30 days. We don't build profiles.
Your presence is not a product. neare. will never monetize your data.
"I finally stopped texting 'wya' every three hours. I can just open neare. and breathe."
"My best friend moved to London. neare. makes the distance feel smaller without the pressure to chat."
"It's the anti-social-media. I love that there's literally nothing to post. You just exist."
Never. Your raw coordinates stay on your device. Your circle only sees a neighbourhood name like "Westlands" or "Kilimani" — never a street address or GPS pin.
No — and that's the point. The 12-person cap is a core design choice. It keeps neare. intimate and ensures every person on your list is someone you genuinely care about.
Only what you allow: neighbourhood-level location, activity state (stationary, walking, etc.), and optionally your currently playing music. All signals can be toggled off individually. Presence data auto-deletes after 30 days.
Yes. neare. is free to download and use. No ads, no premium tiers, no hidden fees. Presence should be accessible to everyone.
Presence over performance.
