No dating or hookups... Our intentions are different.

Vicinity is built for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and groups (like parents) looking to form real friendships. We’re creating a safe space that actively prevents hookup culture, keeping it focused on meaningful connections with like-minded people. Whether you're into gaming, coffee, fitness, travel, or the arts, Vicinity will help you find friends who share your passions.

Find Friends Locally
"I was surprised to find that I was literally surrounded by people like me—for coffee, dinners, and more."

Vicinity is different from other apps—you won’t need to swipe or match to find friends. Instead, you’ll explore a live map of users around you. Filter by interests, hobbies, gender identity, and more to find the right people. It’s about making real-life connections with people nearby.

Features:
Create Your Profile: Build a secure profile to connect with others who share your interests, hobbies, and activities.

Dynamic User Map: Watch as potential friends pop up around you. Use personality filters to tailor your map and find individuals with similar interests.

Private & Secure Messaging: Stay safe while chatting with your local LGBTQ+ community—without sharing your name, phone number, or email address.

Curated Event Calendar: Check out community events handpicked by our team to keep you connected to the LGBTQ+ scene near you.

Vicinity Feed: Discover posts and events created by users within 50 miles of your location. Comment, RSVP, and join the conversation in your local community.

Notifications Center: Stay in the loop with notifications for likes, comments, RSVPs, and replies to your posts and events.

Privacy Matters: You control your visibility by randomizing your location on the map by up to 10 miles
