About Nearby

Meeting new people is hard. We wanted to create something to help.

Nearby is one of the largest social discovery networks. You can login using one of our mobile apps or using the Nearby website. It is always free, anonymous, and lots of fun!

Nearby is not a dating website. We find the idea of a "dating website" as too forced. Chemistry happens naturally on Nearby all the time, but that is not the purpose of the site. Nearby is for helping people make friends. Need a tennis partner? Want to find a running buddy? In a foreign country and want to find a speaker of your native tongue? Then you have found the right website!
