Algorithms decide for you.
Social and matching apps rank every user — including you — and control who you see and who sees you. Premium tiers sell more visibility, never transparency. You're still trusting a ranking you can't see.
Blizu finds compatible people around you right now — to make local friends, network, or connect while traveling. No algorithms, just real people nearby.
Blizu was built to solve specific problems with how people meet people today.
Connect with people who are physically near you right now. The app is only useful when you leave your home. Your exact location is never shared with other users.
You can set a variety of filters for who you want to meet. The app doesn't rank, boost or promote anyone.
Local friends, study buddies, networking, fellow expats & travelers, hobby partners, language exchange — pick what fits, and the scan finds people here for the same.
Your name is masked and photos are pixelated until both users accept the match. This way you're completely unrecognisable to ensure your safety.
Matches expire in five hours. This isn't an app for collecting profiles you'll never meet — if someone is nearby and compatible, you have a window. Just like real life.
Join events and connect with the people who matter — without wasting time on small talk. Rolling out after launch.
Events on Blizu are coming soon. Increase the success of your events by making it easier for attendees to connect with the right people in the room — at concerts, meetups, parties and conferences. Get on the early list and we'll set yours up first.
Only people physically at your event can match.
Attendees discover who shares their interests the moment they walk in.
We register the event for you and send you a QR code — share it with your attendees and you're done.
