ANEAR - The nearby friends app that gets you off the screen and into the real world. Stop wondering if your friends are in town. ANEAR notifies you the moment people you care about are nearby - without sharing your exact location. No feeds. No likes. Just real-life meetups. Smart proximity alerts Get notified when friends are in the same city or surrounding area. Add your travel plans and discover when your paths might cross. ANEAR works quietly in the background - no constant location tracking, no battery drain. Private groups and communities Create private friend circles, alumni groups, or travel squads. Group admins can send notifications and keep members updated. Whether it is a hometown crew, a university network, or a travel group, ANEAR keeps everyone connected when it matters. Privacy first - always ANEAR uses city-level presence detection, never your exact coordinates. No data is sold to third parties. No unnecessary data is collected. You stay in full control of who sees your presence and when. Built for travelers and locals alike Hometown mode keeps you notified when you are back in your home city. Silent city mode mutes alerts for cities you regularly commute through. Nearby detection now covers your surrounding region - not just the city limits. ANEAR is the friend finder app built for spontaneous, real-world connection. Whether you are visiting a new city, traveling internationally, or simply want to know who is around – ANEAR bridges the gap between online contacts and real-life meetups. Because real life happens offline. Contact: [email protected] Terms of Services – https://www.anear.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.anear.app/privacy
