# ANEAR

> ANEAR is a privacy-focused social app that connects friends in real life. It shows when contacts are in the same city — without sharing exact locations.

## About

ANEAR is a social media alternative focused on real-life connections instead of endless feeds. Founded in 2025 in Stuttgart, Germany by Maic Mattis and Dr. Markus Thies (ANEAR GmbH).

## Key Features

- **Proximity Alerts**: Know when friends are nearby — city-level only, never exact GPS
- **Ghost Mode**: Go invisible to all or individual contacts with one tap
- **Travel Plans**: Share upcoming trips and discover overlapping travel plans with friends
- **Private Groups**: Invitation-only groups with self-deleting chats for real meetups
- **Location Clusters**: Region-based notifications, not GPS tracking
- **Privacy First**: GDPR compliant, European servers, no data sold to third parties

## What Makes ANEAR Different

ANEAR is an anti-social-media app. No feeds, no likes, no public profiles, no surveillance. Technology as a bridge to real human connection, not a wall. Your exact location is never shared — only city-level proximity.
