Everything Near does

Less to remember.
More taken care of.

Capture what you need, connect it to a place, and share it with your household. Near brings up your reminders when you arrive.

Near's home screen on iPhone. A large tap-to-speak button reading Tap once. Say it, and a list headed Today's queue: Kroger 0.1 miles away and marked closest, Target, Equinox, each with what is waiting there.
The actual app

When it occurs to you

Catch the thought before it goes.

Say it
“Grab dog food and drop the rug off.” Two things, two places, one sentence.
Type it
One field. No project, no list to pick, no tags to invent.
Share it in
A text from your sister, a recipe, a link. Send it to Near and it lands where it belongs.
Near places it
It reads the thing and picks the place, and you can change it.
Near's capture sheet on iPhone. A microphone button labelled Say it, a text field, and a line reading: add the place and Near reminds you when you get there. No place? Near still holds it.
The actual app
Near's Places screen on iPhone. A map with glowing pins, a game plan card reading you can finish this run by 9:18 AM, and a list of saved places with the items waiting at each.

Where it all hangs

Places are the
filing system.

Every reminder hangs off a place, so there is nothing else to organize. Open Places to see what is waiting where, and how long the whole run would take.

  • What is waiting at each place, before you get there.
  • The stops in the order that makes the shortest trip.
  • Home counts as a place, and so does the office.

When you get there

Your list
meets you there.

On arrival
Your list is on the Lock Screen before you are through the door.
One card, not six pings
Everything you needed at that place arrives together.
On the way
Passing the hardware store counts. Near catches you before you are home again.
Before the door locks
A heads-up while the place is still open, instead of an apology after.
Near open at Kroger: one of four items done, three sections, a Lists and Aisles switch, and the grocery run listed with an Add to cart button.
Store mode, at Kroger

Inside the store

Then the list
opens itself.

The list is already open
Kroger, four items, three sections. No searching for the right list while the cart is in the way.
In aisle order
Aisles instead of Lists, and the run sorts itself to the store you are standing in.
Straight to the cart
Connect a Kroger account and the whole run goes in with one tap, at the prices that store is charging.
Free
The entire grocery engine — aisles, prices, cart, sorting — is on the free plan.

For households

Everyone has
the list.

Add items, see updates, and check things off together. Start solo and share it with the people you live with whenever you are ready. Sharing is free.

  • One list, live on everybody’s phone.
  • Someone adds it at home. Someone else gets it at the store.
  • Checked off once and it is gone for everyone.
  • Nothing has to be assigned. Whoever gets there first can just take it.

Where it reaches you

A little help, close at hand.

iPhone

The Lock Screen, the widget, the app.

Apple Watch

A glance at the wrist when your hands are full.

Siri

Add it out loud, driving, mid-sentence.

Quiet by design

Your location
has one job.

Your live route never leaves your iPhone. What syncs is what makes a reminder work: your places, your tasks, and the arrivals that fire them. Near sells none of it, and never uses it for ads.

  • Finding who’s closest is a switch you own. Near ships it off and never turns it on for you.
  • When it runs, your location is read once, used once, and never stored.
  • No ads, no data brokers, and you can delete all of it whenever you want.

The full detail is in the privacy policy, and what’s free versus paid is on pricing.

Near's Household settings: an invite row, and a Find who's closest switch with the note that location is read once, used once, and never stored.

The mark

One icon.
Four times of day.

Near’s icon moves through dawn, day, dusk and night, because the day does. The target at the center never moves.

Your brain has
better things to do.

Fewer forgotten items. Fewer extra trips. One less thing on your mind.
