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.
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.
One screen. Paste your @s — Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, whatever you're actually on. No new identity to invent.
You become visible to other NEAR users in your 100 ft bubble. Walk away — invisible again. No location stored, ever.
See the few people in range, peek their socials, pin the good ones to your private list. No DMs in-app — take it to the platforms you already live on.
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.
Your camera reads QR codes natively — no third-party scanner. Then you're 47 seconds from being visible to whoever's around you.
