Nearly is an automatic edging device. A pocket-sized pod reads tiny pressure changes, learns where your edge is, and tells your phone to ease your toys off just before it. No new toys, no control box, set up in minutes.
$169 · prototypes ship in December · free US shipping
Cut your inflatable plug's pump hose and push in the included tee. The pod's thin sensing tube goes on the side branch. Three sizes are in the box.
The Nearly app finds the pod and your Bluetooth toys. A ten-second calibration measures your resting level and a firm squeeze.
Toys ramp up on their own. As you approach your threshold, Nearly backs them off, waits, and builds again.

Most edging devices make you guess a sensitivity number and fiddle with it every session. Nearly works it out over time.
Your first session starts with a cautious threshold, so it pauses early rather than late.
Each time it stops you in time, it moves a little closer to your edge. If it ever cuts it too close, it backs off and holds there for the next few sessions.
After a few sessions it settles on your personal threshold and keeps adjusting as you change. The app shows how confident it is.
Prefer control? Choose how close to the edge it plays, lock it so it only ever gets more careful, or set the threshold yourself. Calibration at the start of each session keeps it accurate however firmly your plug is inflated.
Nearly is a one-person project: I design the board, print the enclosures and write the app myself. The prototype boards are in hand, and a small batch of prototype units ships in December. Their feedback shapes the first production run of 100, planned for early 2027.
A small batch of hand-built prototype units ships in December for $169. When production units are ready, everyone who bought a prototype gets one free and only covers shipping. Not ready yet? Join the waitlist and you'll hear first when production orders open.
Signing up doesn't charge you. I'll email you to confirm your spot and arrange payment before anything ships. Prototypes are limited, so spots go in the order people sign up.
Lovense Bluetooth toys work on iPhone and Android. On Android, many more brands work too, including We-Vibe, Satisfyer and Kiiroo. Tell me what you own in the form so I can test it.
No. The pod stays outside. It connects to your plug's existing air line with a thin tube and a tee fitting, and reads pressure through the air.
Sensor readings go from the pod to your phone over Bluetooth and stay there. Nothing from your sessions is uploaded or stored on a server. The only thing kept online is what you type into the signup form. See the privacy policy.
Nearly is designed for at least three hours of use per charge, and it recharges over USB-C in about two hours.
Prototype units ship in December 2026. The first production run of 100 is planned for early 2027, and waitlist members hear first when orders open. Nearly ships free within the US only. See shipping & returns for details.
A prototype is hand-assembled from the same board design, with a 3D-printed case. It works the same way, but the finish is rougher and the app is still being improved. Prototype buyers get a production unit free when they're ready, so you're not stuck with the early version.
