Nearish

The architecture of serendipity.

Nearish pings you when people you actually want to see are nearby. Not a social network. Not a tracker. Just the quiet nudge that turns a coincidence into a coffee.

How it works

1

Build your network

Invite up to 50 people — the ones you'd genuinely want to run into. Not followers. Not contacts. Your people.

2

Toggle open

Set yourself as "open to meet-ups" when you're available. Off means invisible — no tracking, no data, nothing.

3

Get pinged

When someone in your network is nearby — especially when one of you is travelling — you both get a contextual nudge.

4

Meet up

Send a quick message, pick a spot, and turn a coincidence into a conversation. That's it. That's the whole app.

What Nearish isn't

📱

Another social network

No feeds. No content. No algorithms.

📍

A location tracker

No precise coordinates. Ever.

📊

A data product

No ads. No selling your info.

🔒 Privacy by architecture

Your location is converted to a rough ~5km area, never stored as precise coordinates, and auto-deleted after one hour. The system physically cannot reconstruct your movement history. This isn't a policy — it's a design decision.
