About this app

Welcome to HYV Social – Where Proximity Powers Connection

HYV Social is redefining how we connect by bringing you back to what matters most: the people and experiences right around you. No algorithms. No echo chambers. Just real connections powered by real proximity.

Discover Your World in Real Time

See who is nearby on an interactive map that updates as people move through your area. Set your visibility radius from 1/4 mile to 5 miles and instantly connect with people who share your immediate world. Get notified when new events pop up in your proximity - it is like having a social radar for meaningful connections.

Authentic Local Connections

Every person you see is actually near you. No fake profiles from across the globe. No algorithmic suggestions. When someone appears on your map, they are real, they are verified, and they are close enough to grab coffee with. Turn digital introductions into real friendships.

Find and Create Local Events

Discover what is happening around you - from spontaneous meetups to planned gatherings. See who is attending, RSVP instantly, and never miss out on local experiences. Creating your own event? Watch as people nearby discover and join your activities in real time.

Meaningful Conversations

Start conversations with context. When you message someone on HYV, you already have something in common - you are sharing the same space. Whether it is a new neighbor, a fellow professional, or someone at the same event, every chat has the potential to become a real world connection.

Why HYV Social?

While other apps use algorithms to guess who you might like, we use something more powerful: proximity. The person sitting across from you at the coffee shop. The group organizing weekend hikes in your area. The professional meetup happening downtown. These are the connections that matter.

HYV Social is not about collecting followers or chasing likes. It is about discovering the vibrant community that already exists around you. It is about turning "someday" meetups into "today" adventures. It is about going from URLs to IRL.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life. HYV Social uses intelligent location updates to minimize battery impact while keeping you connected.
