How it works
Three steps to real connections
01
Open the app
Grant location access and see a radial map of people physically near you, not profiles scattered across a city.
02
See who's nearby
Browse profiles within meters. Tap someone who catches your interest and choose your intent.
03
Connect & chat
Send a request. Once they accept, messaging unlocks. No messages until you both say yes.
Connection types
Friendship, networking, or open to meet. Your choice
Every request carries intent. The other person sees exactly what kind of connection you're offering before they decide.
Intent-based requests
See who's already here, not who's 50 miles away.
Networking
Connect with new people.
Professional or community networking with people nearby. Real conversations, real proximity.
Open to Meet
Chill and Chat.
Open to dating or deeper connection, always consent-gated, always your choice who gets through.
