Vicinex is more than just another social platform—it’s a movement to bring people closer in real life. In today’s digital world, it’s easy to feel connected but still deeply alone. Most platforms push followers, likes, and trends from people thousands of kilometers away, but they don’t help you meet the people right around you—the ones who could become real friends, collaborators, or even life-changing connections.

That’s where Vicinex is different. It’s built on two simple but powerful ideas: location and shared interests. Whether you’re searching for a workout buddy nearby, exploring your passion for photography, or looking for people to share a coffee and conversation with, Vicinex makes it possible to meet the right people at the right time.

Unlike traditional social media built for endless scrolling, Vicinex is designed for meaningful interactions. It’s about creating genuine opportunities—friendships, communities, and experiences that last. Every connection on Vicinex is a step toward reducing isolation and building stronger, real-world bonds.

Because at the end of the day, life isn’t about followers or likes. It’s about people. And Vicinex is here to help you find them—local, real, and fast.

Why Vicinex?

Find your people nearby.

Today’s platforms connect you to the world—Vicinex connects you to your neighborhood. Shared interests + location = real-life connections.

Read the full “Why Vicinex?”

Because the world has never been more connected—and yet so many of us feel more isolated than ever. Today’s platforms are global but not personal. They flood us with celebrities, influencers, and strangers halfway across the world, but they rarely help us meet the people who truly matter: those nearby who share our passions and could become real friends.

We believe meaningful connection starts locally. That’s why Vicinex was built to be hyperlocal and interest-driven. By combining location awareness with shared interests, Vicinex helps you discover people in your own city, neighborhood, or even street—people who get you, who inspire you, and who could change your life in ways that a “like” or “follow” never will.

Vicinex isn’t about chasing clout or building an audience. It’s about finding your people—whether that’s a group to play music with, a circle to discuss ideas, or someone who simply understands what you’re going through. It’s about building friendships, collaborations, and communities that extend beyond the screen into real life.

PART 02

Interest based connection system

Since the dawn of humanity, what has truly connected us? Our interests. From science to football, from dubstep to coding, from Minecraft to real estate — interests are at the core of who we are. But how do you discover the interests of people in your neighborhood if you’re busy studying, working, or just short on time?

That’s where Vicinex comes in. With our smart matching system, you simply choose 3 interests, and we connect you with people nearby who share them. No endless scrolling, no random hobby matches — just aligned people, ready to connect. And the best part? It’s as easy as clicking one button: Search.

Try it: pick up to 3 interests

Drag and arrange different sections of your profile the way you like, and soon you’ll be able to add GIFs, colours, and more to make it truly your own. No cookie-cutter templates — just pure you.
