Nearby

Nearby helps you discover who's around you right now — and what they're up to.

Activate Discoverable mode, choose your purpose, and appear on a real-time map for others nearby.
See who's available, send an interest, and connect instantly. Whether you're looking for a running
partner, a coffee buddy, someone to practice languages with, or just friendly company — Nearby makes
it happen in real time.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Open the app and see the map around you
2. Tap "Appear" and choose what you're looking for (coffee, sports, networking, or 70+ options)
3. Your purpose appears as a bubble on the map for others nearby
4. Browse who else is around and what they're doing
5. See someone interesting? Tap their bubble, send an interest
6. If they accept, a route line connects you both on the map
7. Chat, meet up, and make a real connection

KEY FEATURES:

🗺️ REAL-TIME MAP
See who's discoverable near you on a live map. Each person's marker shows their profile photo and
purpose bubble, so you know exactly what they're looking for before reaching out. The map follows
your movement automatically as you walk or drive.

💬 70+ ACTIVITIES IN 10 CATEGORIES
Choose from a rich catalog of purposes organized by category: Sports and Fitness, Food and Drinks,
Social and Hangout, Arts and Culture, Networking and Professional, Wellness and Spirituality, Family
and Pets, Adventure and Outdoors, Entertainment, and Education. Can't find what you're looking for?
Write your own custom purpose.

🔗 INTEREST AND CONNECTION SYSTEM
Found someone nearby doing something you'd like to join? Send them an interest. If they accept, a
coral route line appears on the map connecting you both — it follows real streets so you can find
each other. Start chatting instantly to coordinate.

👻 GHOST MODE
Sometimes you want to browse without being seen. Ghost Mode lets you see the map and everyone
on it without appearing yourself. Free daily minutes included — earn more by inviting friends.

🔀 CROSSED PATHS
Discover people who were near you recently, even if neither of you was in Discoverable mode at the time.
See where and when you crossed paths, and reach out if someone catches your eye. A badge on
the map alerts you to new crossings.

🔔 SMART NOTIFICATIONS
Not in the app? No problem. When people activate Discoverable near your area, you will receive a
push notification so you never miss activity nearby. Limited to one alert every few hours so it is
helpful, not intrusive.

🤖 AI CONVERSATION STARTERS
Not sure what to say? When you open a chat, AI-generated ice breakers appear based on the other
person's purpose. Tap one to send it instantly and break the ice naturally.

connections. Every interaction starts with context — you always know what the other person is
looking for before you reach out.
