VYBZ: See Who's Nearby
Nearby Chat & City Feed
Only for iPhone
Free
VYBZ shows you what's happening around you, right now.
Who's nearby. What people are talking about. What people are sharing. Three layers: people, conversations, city — one app. Real time. Real life.
See Who's Nearby
Discover people around you without sharing or seeing anyone's exact location. VYBZ groups people by proximity. They know you're nearby. You know they're nearby. That's it.
Nearby Chat
No friend requests. No waiting. Jump into Nearby Chat or message people directly. Every place has a story, VYBZ lets you hear it.
The City's Pulse
See what the people around you are posting. A feed built by proximity, through the eyes of the people actually there.
Built for Real Life
VYBZ isn't another social media feed. It's a layer on top of the real world, connecting you with the people and places right around you, right now.
Your privacy matters, your exact location is never shared with anyone.
