Built for real life. Not endless scrolling.

The best moments don't always announce themselves. They happen nearby — at a rooftop, a campus, a coffee shop, a market, or a venue. Proximate helps you notice them before they're gone.

Privacy first

Privacy is what makes real-world discovery feel safe.

People will not use a location-based social app unless they believe they stay in control. Proximate is designed around visibility you choose, not exact public exposure.

✓ Neighborhood privacy bubble instead of exact public position.
✓ Profile control before joining public conversations.
✓ Block, report, and leave conversations quickly.
✓ Verified venues and safety cues where available.
