Destiny begins with a passing encounter. On your daily commute, on the train, at a cafe. The one meant for you might already be close by. pneu.me is a proximity detection app powered by Bluetooth Low Energy. When someone who matches your preferences is nearby, the orb on your screen gently reacts. The closer they get, the brighter it glows, pulsing like a heartbeat to tell you: "Someone is right here, right now." --- Three Promises --- 1. No servers, no account required All data is stored only on your device. Nothing is ever sent to a server. No email address, no phone number needed. Just install, pick a name, and you're ready for your first encounter. 2. Mutual matching for peace of mind You'll only be notified when preferences match on both sides. When the person you're looking for is also looking for you. Only then does the orb light up. 3. Just carry it with you Open the app and actively search, or keep it in your pocket and let someone find you. Either way, Bluetooth quietly connects you with someone nearby. --- Use it anywhere --- On your morning commute, at your usual station. While working at a cafe. On a weekend stroll, at the park. Traveling somewhere new, in an unfamiliar city. Any of these could be the moment destiny begins. --- Key Features --- - Orb: A 3D wireframe sphere that reacts in real time based on the distance to nearby people. The closer they are, the bigger and brighter it glows - Encounter alerts: Vibration and on-screen notification when a mutual match is detected nearby - Encounter history: View past encounters with encounter count tracking - Apple Watch: The orb glows on your wrist.
