What is a location-based reminder?

A location-based reminder is a task that appears when you arrive at or pass a specific place. Near uses location awareness to automatically show errands and reminders when they become relevant.

How does Near know when I arrive somewhere?

Near uses iPhone location services to detect when you arrive at a location such as a grocery store, pharmacy, or home. When you reach that location, the relevant tasks appear automatically.

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?

No. Near uses location only to show tasks when they matter. Data stays on your device and is never used for advertising.

What is ambient task intelligence?

Ambient task intelligence means your tasks surface automatically based on where you are, without manual checking. Near uses AI-powered location awareness to deliver the right task at the right place and time.

Is Near an AI task manager?

Near is an ambient task intelligence system that uses AI and location awareness to surface tasks when they are most actionable. It goes beyond traditional task managers by proactively delivering reminders based on context.

Any household member can add, edit, or complete tasks on shared lists
You are responsible for the content you add to shared lists
