anynear

Who is behind it

Not a corporation.
A person with an idea.

anynear is made by Kevin Schu. He develops the app, tests the radios himself and runs the locations your messages travel through.

Why anynear.

Most messengers depend on a single provider, a phone number and the internet. If one of these fails, your circle is suddenly hard to reach.

anynear aims to change that: calmly and without panic, with several ways instead of one. Day to day, it is a normal app for messages, files and passwords. And when it matters, it adds another way over radio.

What you can rely on.

  • European and distributed The locations are in several European countries and in different data centres. No single provider can switch anynear off.
  • Tried and tested Every recommended radio was tested with anynear before it appears on this site.
  • Honest about limits We say what works and what does not. Radio needs range and power; there is no guarantee.
  • No account, no phone number anynear needs neither an account nor a phone number. The website uses no cookies and no tracking.

Still in beta.

anynear is still in development. Your feedback helps make the app clearer and more reliable. Just write to support@anynear.app.
