NEAR: Brincadeiras sem tela

Did your child ask for screen time again? Before handing over your phone, open NEAR. In just a few seconds, you'll find a game that fits the time you have, the place you are, and the age of the child playing, without needing to think, search, or buy anything.

NEAR was born from a question every parent and guardian knows: what to do now, without screens, that's truly fun? The answer is in the app: a collection of tested games, explained step-by-step, with real photos, a list of simple materials, and what each activity helps develop.

FIND THE RIGHT GAME FOR THIS MOMENT
Filter by age, by available time (from a few minutes to the whole afternoon), by location (at home, outdoors, or in a group), and by difficulty level. Before you start, you'll already know how much mess is coming, from zero mess to "accept the chaos," and how much noise the game will make, ideal for the waiting room, the queue, or the car.

STEP-BY-STEP WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS
Each game includes photos, materials you probably already have at home, short instructions, and a step-by-step guide to follow with your phone in hand while playing. You'll also find the secret to each activity, variations to make it easier or more challenging, safety precautions, and what it stimulates in the child: coordination, creativity, language, patience, social interaction, and much more.

GAME OF THE DAY
No idea? The home screen suggests a game each day for you to start without having to choose.

THEMES FOR EVERY OCCASION
Rainy day, screen-free vacation, little explorers, family time, travel, and other themes bring together games that match the situation. When the routine calls for it, the right theme is already ready.

TIPS FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
Short and practical texts about the daily challenges with children, such as school adaptation, potty training, learning, bullying, and the role of the family.

A PROFILE FOR EACH CHILD
Register your children with their name and age to receive suggestions tailored to their needs. Save their favorite games and track the history of what you've done together. Children's profiles are only stored on your phone and are not sent to any server.

USE IT ANYWHERE, EVEN WITHOUT INTERNET
The first time you use it, NEAR asks if you want to save all the photos on your device. This way, the app works in the car, at grandparents' house, in the park, or anywhere without a signal. If you prefer to save space, it downloads each photo only when you open the game. You can change this choice whenever you want.

MADE FOR THE FAMILY
NEAR is an app for adults to use with children. It doesn't replace the presence of caregivers; it facilitates that moment. No registration of children on servers, with control over their usage statistics and the option to download or delete all their data directly in the app.

NEAR PLUS
The app can be used for free. The optional NEAR Plus subscription unlocks additional content and features and removes ads. Details and pricing appear within the app before any charges are made, and the subscription can be canceled at any time through Google Play.

Less screen time, more play. Closer to what matters.
