Real connection
starts in person.
Like Pokemon GO for making friends on campus. Go live, get paired with someone nearby, and meet in minutes — not days.
How It Works
Three steps to a new friend.
Go Live
Go live and see who's around you on campus.
Get Paired
Match with someone nearby and meet in person.
Make a Friend
Exchange names and add each other as friends.
Your Day
Here's what your day could look like.
Class just ended
You're hungry but no one's free.
You go live
You open Closer and go live near the dining hall.
You match
Someone nearby is also live — you match and head toward each other.
New friend
You meet, exchange names, and grab lunch together.
Staying connected
You message your new friend to study together tomorrow.
Safety
Safety is not an
afterthought.
Every feature in Closer is designed with your safety and comfort in mind.
No Pre-Meeting Messaging
Chat only unlocks after you've met in person. No strangers in your DMs.
Your Name Stays Private
Your real name is hidden until you choose to share it face-to-face.
Timed Pairing
Pairing sessions last up to 30 minutes. You set the pace.
Blocking & Reporting
Block or report anyone, anytime. We take every report seriously.
Always In Control
End your session in one tap, leave a pairing in two. No questions asked.
