Beta

Join the Near beta

Near lets you send one small line to someone you trust and feel their answer come back. The beta is free. Apple reviews for new updates can take several days or longer. TestFlight is Apple’s way to try the latest version before the App Store release. It will not replace anything on your phone, and you can leave any time.

Apple may show a ‘Share Feedback’ screen — tap Continue; you do not have to send anything.
Trying Supporter?

Tap Subscribe and you'll see Apple's real purchase sheet — that's expected. TestFlight installs always go through Apple's sandbox, so no card is ever charged and no subscription actually starts. You can try it, cancel it, and try it again as many times as you like.

On a computer?

TestFlight installs on iPhone or iPad. Send yourself this page and open it there.
