Local Discovery: Proxima

Proxima is a neighborhood discovery app, nearby places finder, and local discovery tool built on one idea: your home base never moves.

Most map apps scatter results the moment you search. Proxima locks onto an address you set — your home, a hotel you booked, an apartment you're considering — so every nearby place is measured from the spot that actually matters to you.

WHY PROXIMA IS DIFFERENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📌 YOUR HOME BASE STAYS LOCKED
Set any address and that anchor never moves. Every nearby restaurant, café, park, or shop is shown by real distance from it — not from wherever the map thinks you are.

📏 WALK TIME & DISTANCE ON EVERY RESULT
See exact distance and walking time on every place at a glance. Stop squinting at the map to guess which spot is closer.

🔔 WATCHES THAT NOTIFY YOU
The one thing other map apps can't do. Set a Watch on an area and category, and Proxima quietly checks for you — then pings you when a new place opens nearby or a rating changes. No daily checking required.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

🕒 TIME-OF-DAY MODE
One tap re-sorts results for Now (open right now), Tonight, or the Weekend.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRIVACY THAT MEANS SOMETHING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

No accounts. No sign-ins. No ads. No analytics. Almost everything stays on your device. Proxima never reads your phone's GPS — it works from the address you choose.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PERFECT FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Apartment hunters checking what's walkable before signing a lease
• Travelers who want to know the area around their hotel before they land
• Locals who want to actually notice their own city
• Privacy-minded people who want a nearby places finder that doesn't track them

Set a home base. Get on with your life. Proxima taps you when something near you changes. Free to download, with optional Proxima Pro.
