What is Near?
Near is the ambient memory layer for couples and households. It surfaces what you'd otherwise forget — groceries, errands, the thing one of you mentioned last week — automatically, the moment you arrive where it matters.
Instead of checking lists or setting timers, tasks appear when you arrive at the places where they can actually be completed.

Can Near share grocery lists with family members?
Yes. Near supports shared household lists so anyone in the household can add items. When someone is near the store, they receive the reminder.
Does Near track my location?
