Coordinates never leave our servers
Your device sends its position over an encrypted connection. Other people only ever receive a distance band.
Nearby
The same room, finally on the same app.
Flip on Visible and see other MeantMee members within 100–200 meters who've done the same. At a café, a concert, a campus, or your own block.
How Nearby works
Three steps from “I wonder” to “hi.”
- Step 1
Flip on Visible
Nearby is off until you turn it on, and it switches itself off when you leave. No one sees you unless you've said yes, right now.
- Step 2
Pick your radius
Anywhere from 100 to 200 meters: the same coffee shop or the same block. People show up by distance band, never by exact location.
- Step 3
Wave, like, or keep walking
Tap someone to see their profile. Like or wave, and if it's mutual you're matched. Hide from anyone you'd rather not see, without them knowing.
Privacy rules
Non-negotiable, by design.
These aren't settings. They're how Nearby is built.
Jitter before banding
We add ±15 m of random noise and snap to a ~20 m grid, which defeats trilateration attempts.
Short-lived positions
Live positions expire after a few minutes and vanish the instant you turn Visible off.
Random angles
Where an avatar sits around the radar is random per session and carries no meaning.
Rate limited
Queries and updates are rate-limited so no one can scan the radar to track movement.
Hide-from list
Remove yourself from specific people's radar without them knowing.
Blocks apply everywhere
Blocked, paused, banned or incognito members never appear, in either direction.
Mutual radius
You only see people whose radius also includes you, so visibility is always two-way.
FAQ
Nearby questions
No. Nearby is off until you turn it on from the Nearby tab, and it turns itself off when your location goes stale (a few minutes without an update) or when you switch it off.
