**Meet people near you who share your interests.** Radius is a proximity-based social app that helps you find people nearby who enjoy the same things you do — and actually meet up in person. Interest-based matching, real meetup planning, and built-in safety tools, all in one place. **How it works** Tell us what you're into — coffee, hiking, board games, live music, working out, photography, whatever it is — and Radius matches you with people nearby who share those interests. Once you're both interested, Radius helps you take the next step: choosing a real place to meet, nearby and convenient for both of you. **Make your profile actually yours** Radius gives you a custom HTML profile editor so you can build your own page with your own style, layout, and personality. Add a photo gallery, pick your own colors and fonts, write your own bio your way. No two Radius profiles look alike. **Built for meeting up in person** Once you're matched, you can chat in the app, pick a meetup spot together with both people confirming the location, get suggested places nearby tailored to your shared interests, and track live location during your meetup so you both know when the other is close. **Safety first** Radius is built with real safety tools at every step: - One-tap SOS alerts during any active meetup - Live location sharing on the way to your meetup spot - Built-in reporting and blocking tools - Adjustable distance preferences - 18+ only **Why Radius** Radius was built around a simple idea: the fastest way to expand your social circle is to actually meet someone in person, doing something you both already enjoy. Whether you're new in town or just looking to meet more people, Radius turns a shared interest into a real face-to-face connection. **What you get** - Interest-based matching across dozens of categories - Custom HTML profile editor - Mutual meetup location selection with built-in suggestions - Real-time location sharing during meetups - One-tap SOS emergency alerts - In-app messaging - User reporting and blocking tools - Adjustable search distance
