Nearer

I built Nearer because I wanted to feel closer to my parents even when I’m far from home. A weekly video call helps, but what I miss are the small moments in between, like sitting down for chai on an ordinary Tuesday. Nearer is an app for families who live apart. You can light a little lamp to tell someone you’re thinking of them, leave a voice note they can listen to when they have a moment, or save a family recipe in the shared Kitchen. The demo follows a son in Bengaluru and his parents in Chhapra, Bihar, and shows what a small hello can mean when you’re far away.
