Welcome to Lenz- Social, the new and revolutionary app in Social Media and Networking that allows you (the user) the ability to connect to people nearby. So much of social media in today’s world is focused on connecting from a far, but now, you can look through a new Lenz and connect with people who are close in proximity to you. Features- Map: Through the Lenz Map, users are able to see potential new connections who are within a 1/4 mile radius around them and can request a connection. Example- You and a group of friends are at a concert and you see someone nearby, if they have Lenz, you can click on their profile from the map and request to connect with them. Here on the map, users that you have already connected with will also be shown outside of the 1/4 mile radius in case you want to reach back out and go hang out together!

Friends: Through the Lenz Friends List, users can see displayed those users they have already connected with. This display looks similar to a contact list where users can reach back out through the app, they can modify their connection status, block or unblock, and view their connections’ profiles! Profile: Through Lenz- Social, a user’s profile becomes a central hub for connecting with someone through more outlets than just Lenz. Once a connection has been made, the two users can also see each other’s social media accounts that they decide they want to hyperlink on their profile, allowing users to further their connection!

Your phone's contacts app was designed in a different era. A name, a number, maybe an email. It has no idea that your friend is having coffee two blocks away. Dipity is serendipity, by design. It sits on top of the contacts you already have and gives you a quiet heads-up when you and a friend cross paths, without becoming a way to track anyone. A PRIVATE RADAR FOR YOUR PEOPLE Dipity's radar shows friends who are Here Now or Near. There are no live maps, no pins and no breadcrumbs, only a nudge that says "you two are close." DOUBLE-BLIND, BY DESIGN Neither of you sees the other unless you're both in range. Nobody can look you up, follow you or check where you've been. Dipity keeps zero location history. SAY HI WITHOUT THE PRESSURE When paths overlap, send a quick walkie-talkie note. It vanishes once it's read, and nothing is saved in the cloud. YOU STAY IN CONTROL Organize friends into Orbits. Choose who can know you're nearby, per person or per Orbit. Mute, hide or go incognito anytime. YOUR CONTACTS STAY YOURS Dipity is read-only and matches on-device. We never upload, spam or sell your contacts. No ads, ever. Live more. Scroll less.
