Meet people nearby, privately.
NearTree uses Bluetooth proximity — never GPS, never your exact location — to quietly notice when someone nearby is also open to connecting. No names, no photos, no profiles, until you both say yes.
Get updates See how it worksYour device quietly checks for nearby NearTree users over Bluetooth — never GPS, never your exact location.
When two opted-in users are close by, that's an “encounter.” It's private and anonymous on both sides — nobody's identity is shown yet.
“Interested” or “pass” — with zero visibility into what the other person chose, or whether they've decided yet.
Only if you both say “interested” do names, photos, and chat unlock. A one-sided interest is never revealed.
Proximity comes only from short-range Bluetooth with a rotating, non-identifying signal — never precise location.
If you're not interested, the other person never finds out. No notification, no partial reveal, no hint.
Right from a connection or their profile, in-app. Blocking ends the connection immediately.
Turn discovery off at any time — your device stops advertising and scanning right away.
Platonic connections — meet people to hang out with, not date.
Career and networking-minded connections nearby.
Dating-style discovery, for when that's what you're after.
Open to more than one kind of connection — you decide once you match.
No. A “pass” is never revealed to the other person — no notification, no partial reveal, no hint, ever.
No. NearTree never uses GPS, cell towers, or any precise-location technology — only short-range Bluetooth proximity with a rotating, non-identifying signal.
Any time, right from a connection or their profile in the app. Blocking is instant and ends the connection immediately.
