Real encounters, right around you
Beside has the smallest search area on the market. It uses Bluetooth to discover other Beside users in your immediate surroundings, connecting your experience in the app to the places you share in real life.
We do not add fake profiles to populate your feed. Your encounter history grows from people using Beside whom you cross paths with, giving you a way to return to a familiar face after the moment has passed.
A second chance, with mutual interest
Browse a profile, discover shared interests and send a like. When the feeling is mutual, a chat opens. You can reconnect after leaving a café or event, when you have the time to say hello.
Take Beside into your everyday life
Beside is available for adults on iPhone and Android. Set up your profile, enable Bluetooth and the required permissions, and turn on discovery. Take it to a busy café, a campus, a concert or a favourite walking spot and see who you cross paths with.
