Shair is an ambient networking layer that makes people nearby visible. Create a page with your links, projects, photos, and interests, then go live to be seen by others around you. When you’re live, you can see who’s nearby, and they can see you. It also works with anyone instantly. You can share your page using a link or App Clip, and it opens as an interactive card even if they don’t have the app. They can view your links, explore your work, and connect immediately. Shair runs in the background. Turn on Live and move through your day. As you pass people, they appear automatically. You can also see who you crossed paths within an hour afterward, so you don’t have to connect in the moment. You can enable using widgets and Live Activities without opening the app. Your presence stays active while your phone is in your pocket. Shair is built for People — events, campuses, cities, studios, or anywhere people are. Open the app and see who’s around you. Designed to be fast, minimal, and native.
