About

Hereers

Read full description

Hereers is a location-based social app about here and now. Open it and you'll see a map and the posts written within 500 metres of you. ● Posts stay where they were written A post is tied to the spot you were standing in, and only people there can see it. It reaches someone on the same street corner, not someone far away. ● A quiet way to respond If a post is good, you can like it. That's the whole interaction. Good for: ・Finding out what's happening right here, on a trip or on your commute ・Sharing a sunset or cherry blossoms with whoever else is looking at them ・Noting the queue at one place and the empty seats at another, within a short walk For your peace of mind: ・Other people only see how far away a post is — your current location is never shared ・You can report a post or block a user at any time ・Location is used only while you're using the app

Place is a private photo diary you can share with the people you actually care about. Not a feed. Not a group chat that buries everything by Friday. One place where a day becomes a few photos and a line of text, and where the people you choose can add theirs next to yours. YOUR LIFE, IN ONE PLACE Add a photo, write a line, done. Place turns quick captures into entries that feel like memories, not posts. Scroll back through a month and you'll actually remember it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything starts as yours alone. Nothing is public, nothing is discoverable, and nobody can find you by name. SHARE ONLY WITH PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE Open a shared collection with your partner, your best friends, your family. Everyone adds their photos to the same place. Skip the group chat. Keep the memories. NO LIKES, NO FEED, NO STRANGERS There is no algorithm and no audience. Just your things and the people you said yes to. THE PHOTO-FIRST JOURNAL If you've tried to keep a journal and stopped, this is the one that sticks: a day takes seconds, and the photos do most of the writing. PLACE JOURNAL & PLACE DAILY Place is free to try. Place Journal ($9.99/month or $49.99/year) unlocks unlimited entries, shared collections and the home screen widget. Place Daily ($7.99/month or $39.99/year) is for people who just want a private daily photo diary. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://place.so/terms Privacy Policy: https://place.so/privacy
