About Here Now Local
A neighborhood app built to help you make the most of neighborhood life. Whether you're looking for company today, need a helping hand, want to see what's happening locally, fancy joining something that's already going on, or have an idea you'd love to get off the ground, Here Now makes it ridiculously easy to connect with the life happening around you. One place to see what's happening. Three simple ways to join in. 1:1s Looking for company today? Post what you'd like to do and see who else is around and up for doing something. Need a helping hand, or happy to offer one? Post a Help Wanted message and connect with neighbors who can help. Or post an Any Time Buddy suggestion to find people who share your interests. Whether it's tennis, theatre, photography, walking, learning a language or anything else you'd rather do with someone else, it's an easy way to build your own local buddy network over time. Daily Specials See what's happening in your neighborhood today, or flick through the calendar to discover what's coming up over the next month. From special offers and happy hours to live music, fitness classes, workshops and local events, Daily Specials bring together everything worth stepping out for, all in one place. It's a simple way to discover what's happening nearby, support local businesses and plan ahead. Join Ins See what Join Ins are already happening over the coming month and, if something catches your eye, simply say, "I'm in." Already planning something and would like others to join you? Post a Join In and invite them along. Got an idea that doesn't exist yet? Create an Open Invite to see if anyone else is interested. Find the people first, then make it happen together. Sometimes all it takes is one invitation. You're in control Choose how far you'd like to search, from your immediate neighbourhood to a wider area. No ads. No algorithms. No endless feeds. No noise. No pressure. No performance. You'll only connect with people through a 1:1, Join In or Open Invite, so every conversation starts with a shared activity, a shared interest or a genuine reason to connect. No one can message you out of the blue. Today's 1:1 posts and chats disappear at midnight, giving every day a fresh start. Today's Daily Specials make way for tomorrow's. Any Time Buddy suggestions, Join Ins and Open Invites stay live until you choose to remove them, making it easy to build longer-term connections and bring new ideas to life. Invite your friends to join Here Now, add people you meet as Buds, and build your own trusted local network over time. See something your Buds, friends or neighbours might like? Share 1:1s, Daily Specials, Join Ins and Open Invites with them, or send them to friends and neighbours outside the app with a simple tap. People. Places. Plans. That's all. Make the most of neighbourhood life. See what's happening. Find your people. Join something. Start something. Do something. Because life's for living, and so much better shared.
