NearIts is a location-based social platform — find nearby groups, send direct messages, share live stories, and explore who's around on the live map.
NearIts brings together messaging, groups, stories, and a live map — all scoped to the people and places within your world.
Discover public groups within 5 km. Static groups stay at a fixed location; Movable groups follow their creator as they travel — great for events, meetups, and communities on the move.
Fast, real-time 1-on-1 chats. Send text, photos, and videos (up to 1 min). Messages are cached on-device so chats open instantly — no spinner, no wait.
Share 24-hour photo and video stories that appear to people within 5 km. Stories move with you — so your audience is always the people nearest to you right now.
See nearby users as avatar pins on a live map. Pins refresh every 15 seconds. Tap a pin to start a direct chat instantly. Location is privacy-gated — you only see people who have allowed it.
A local feed of posts from people around you. Static posts stay at their creation spot; Movable posts follow their author. Filter by type and explore what's happening nearby.
Share a private group with a tap via invite links. Admins can generate, share, and revoke links. Combined with role-based permissions and a ban system for complete group control.
NearIts is designed to be instant — open the app and your local world appears.
Sign up or log in. NearIts asks for your location once — and your nearby feed, groups, stories, and map are all ready instantly.
The home screen shows groups, posts, and stories within your 5 km radius. Tap a group to read, react, or send a message.
Direct messages and group chats update live via WebSocket. Your last 80 messages are cached so every chat opens with zero loading time.
Switch to the Map tab to see avatar pins of people near you. Tap a pin — tap Message — you're chatting within seconds.
NearIts Web is a Telegram-style messenger that runs in your browser. Scan the QR code from the mobile app once — your direct messages and group chats sync instantly, with no installation needed.
NearIts is built with privacy at the core. Your location is never shared without your explicit settings.
Choose who can see your location: Everyone, Friends only, or No one. The live map only shows users who have allowed discovery.
Group admins control who can join, who can send messages, and who can edit group info — with approval-based membership and a full ban system.
Mark a group private so it won't appear in nearby discovery. Share it only via a secret invite link that admins can revoke at any time.
Stories auto-delete after 24 hours — no history left behind. They're only visible to people within 5 km of where you posted them.
Free to download. No subscription. Open the app and discover your neighborhood.
