Get texted when a friend is within walking distance.
You're walking around the city. A friend happens to be a block away. You'd never know — unless you obsessively check Find My. nearby does that for you and texts you when someone's close.
Download Nearby.dmg — open it, drag to Applications, done.
- Download the app and drag it to Applications
- It finds your friends from Find My automatically
- Enter your phone number and hit verify — you'll get a confirmation text
- Walk around. When a friend is nearby, you get a text
That's it. No account, no login, no social network. It just watches Find My in the background and texts you.
A text whenever a friend is close:
Friend Nearby! Taylor is ~3 min walk away (as of just now)
It also detects when two of your friends are near each other:
Intro opportunity! Rohan and Sarah are ~2 min walk apart (as of just now). Intro them?
Screenshot the notification, send it to your friend, make plans.
