How it works

Stupidly
simple.

Step 01

Open Neary

Find people who are literally near you. Maybe they are interesting enough for you to catch up and talk about life! or maybe just play ball. Your wish.

Step 02

Ping someone

Pick a vibe. Send a ping. That's it. No bio. No swipe marathon. No unnecessary small talk. Just a real-time reason to say "hey" !

Brunch Today?

Oh yes, lets go!

Step 03

Say hi!

They ping back. First name, rough distance. Walk over, say hi. That's the whole app. No week-long planning

Neary helps you make real friends in real life

Proximity-based

Only shows real people who are actually within your area of reach. No fluff!

Privacy-first

No last names, no socials. Just a first name and a vibe. You control what's shared.

Spontaneous only

No planning, no scheduling. Everyone here is free right now. That's the point.

Not a dating app

Friendships, collabs, coffee chats. No swiping, no matching, no pressure.
