## What is Locals.?

Locals is a national network of independent Australian businesses. Find the cafes, bookshops, makers, and creators that hold their main street together, and back them with a tap.

WHAT YOU GET
Browse a map of nearby independents. Tap any one for the owner's own story, opening hours, photos, and contact details. Save favourites for later. Get a five-minute redeemable code for live rewards from places you like.

CUSTOMERS FREE, ALWAYS
You never pay to use Locals. No subscription. No ads. Sign in with Apple, set your location, and start exploring.

OWN A LOCAL BUSINESS?
Add your business in under five minutes from the in-app dashboard. Tell your story in your words. Pin sustainability tags you actually live by. Issue live rewards your regulars will see in their feed. The base profile is free; supporter tiers help us keep building.

INDEPENDENCE OVER ALGORITHMS
Locals does not rank by ad-spend. There are no boosted listings. Discovery is by category, distance, and what your neighbours actually visit. The signal column on each business is a self-declared sustainability rating that the community can verify by visiting.

PRIVACY
Location data stays on your device unless you opt into the crowd toggle. We do not sell, share, or rent your data.

ACCESSIBILITY
Locals is built with Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels on every interactive control, and high-contrast colour pairs.

Made in Australia by Ecodia.
