Proximity is a spatial research surface that turns Are.na blocks into programmable, multiplayer grids for thinking together.

It is not a productivity app or a second brain. Proximity is a living interface where ideas are arranged in space, annotated in real time, and explored across private circles or public gatherings. By combining visual grids, sketchbook annotation, and team modes with ambient AI discovery, it creates a place where memory, collaboration, and experimentation come closer.

Unlike linear feeds or isolated notes, Proximity sustains complexity and context. It makes closeness with ideas possible — whether through solitary reflection, collaborative mapping, or shared presentation — and transforms collections into dynamic knowledge ecologies.
