Lynxuz is the social network for the neighborhood you actually live in. Drop a "Right Now" signal when you're free to see who's around and meet up in person. When you do, connect safely — tap phones with Bump or scan each other's Handshake QR code — so the people in your circle are people you've really met. Inside that circle, trust works the old way: vouch for people with real stories, recommend neighbors by name, and turn small Asks and Gifts into lasting relationships. Most apps are built to keep you on your phone. Lynxuz is built to get you off it. Now launching one neighborhood at a time in Richmond, BC. Lynxuz is for adults 18 and over. https://lynxuz.com Terms of Service: www.lynxuz.com/terms
