BlackNod helps people discover and support Black-owned businesses across the United States. Browse approved listings by search, category, distance, rating, and event availability. Open a business profile for its description, hours, contact details, location, upcoming events, reviews, five category-specific metrics, and the community's NOD or NAW signal. Create a profile, save businesses and polls, share listings, suggest businesses that should be added, and take part in community polls and comments. Leave reviews based on your experience, message other users or business owners where available, and report or block content or accounts. Location is optional; when you grant permission, BlackNod uses your current location to sort nearby businesses and send location-relevant notifications. You can also browse without sharing location. BlackNod is built for local discovery and community participation, with moderation tools for user-submitted content and an in-app account deletion flow. An account is required to use the app. Business owners manage listings and events through the companion web portal.
