Camera at the ready
Open straight into capture when you want the shortest path from life to journal.
A private social journal
Keep your life.
Share the moment.
Near is built for people who are already together. Your original journal stays on your iPhone; a Meet is a deliberate, temporary exchange—not another feed to maintain. Capture a photo in one tap, add the song that made the moment yours, and decide later what to share.
Made for real memories
A photo, a thought, a soundtrack.
Keep the song
Attach a Spotify or Apple Music song link without connecting your listening account.
Built for ages 13+
Near asks every new user to confirm they are at least 13 before starting.
The product contract
Useful without an account.
Local by default
Moment text, photos, places, tags, People history, and Echoes are stored on your iPhone.
Presence before access
Both people verify the same words before either person chooses which Moments to show.
A clear way out
End, block, or report from a Meet. Temporary peer content is cleared when the session ends.
Trust, in plain language
