About Naybar

Discover what matters right where you are.

What is Naybar?

Naybar is a location-based social network and news feed that replaces multiple apps with one unified feed organised by proximity, not followers. Wherever you are, Naybar shows you what's happening, who's nearby, and what people are leaving at that location.

Unlike traditional social networks where content is organized by who you follow, Naybar shows you what matters based on how close it is to you. Your feed adapts to your location and chosen radius, revealing posts, people, and geonotes within your spatial reach.

How Naybar Works

Location-Based Content

Drop Posts stay exactly where they're created, visible to anyone passing through that location. Perfect for reviews, announcements, or marking spots of interest.

Carry Posts move with you as you travel, making them ideal for ongoing updates or content you want to share continuously within your radius.

Spatial Messaging

Local Chat is a location-bound message stream where conversations happen within overlapping radii. Messages are only visible when you're physically close enough.

Private Chat works like traditional messaging, connecting you directly with specific people regardless of location.

Geonotes

Pin notes, photos, or media to exact geographic coordinates. Geonotes are discoverable within a 10-meter radius and can be protected with optional PIN codes for private messages tied to specific places.

People Discovery

See who's nearby in real-time. Add contacts, message users, and build connections based on proximity rather than mutual follows.

Bounds System

Control your spatial presence with adjustable radius settings from 10 meters to 10 kilometers:

Local Mode: Uses your live GPS location for real-time spatial awareness.

Explorer Mode: Set a manual location to browse content from anywhere in the world.

Why Naybar?

We built Naybar because we believe social technology should enhance the world immediately around you, not just connect you to distant screens. Whether you're discovering street food vendors, coordinating community events, finding nearby services, or simply seeing what's happening around you, Naybar makes your current location your primary social context.

Naybar understands location-based commerce, community coordination, and the spontaneous interactions that bring places to life. It's designed for how people actually move through and experience their surroundings.

Drop a pin anywhere

Naybar is not just where you are right now. Drop a pin anywhere on the map and follow what's happening there: a city you're moving to, a town you grew up in, a place you're visiting next week, anywhere on the planet. Your feed switches to that location's posts, geonotes, and people. Move the pin back to yourself and you're local again.

Our Mission

To build technology so deeply connected to the physical world that it feels indistinguishable from the place itself. We are building the future of location-based social interaction, starting in South Africa and expanding globally.

Platform Availability

Naybar is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA), accessible via web browsers on mobile and desktop. Install it to your home screen for a native app experience.
