Built for real neighbourhoods
Where a neighbourhood comes together.
Ray Connect is the local app for your street — a feed of what’s actually happening nearby, groups for the people you see every day, live classes taught two doors down, and a market that never leaves the neighbourhood.
- Real neighbours only
One app, everyone on the street
Built for every kind of neighbour.
Community feed
The buzz of the street in one feed — news, help, celebrations, lost-and-found.
Groups & clubs
The basketball league, the parents' group, the book swap. Public and private.
Live classes
Learn live from neighbours who actually know — cooking, fitness, repairs.
Local market
Sell, swap and find what you need without leaving the neighbourhood.
Verified profiles
Real names, phone-verified accounts. No bots, no strangers.
Ratings & reviews
Recommend the good plumber. Warn your neighbours about the bad one.
What’s inside
Six things your phone never had before.
- 01
A feed of your street
Posts from your block and the next one over, newest first. No algorithm noise, no promoted content.
- 02
Groups that run themselves
Public clubs and private groups for anything — sports, faith, business, parenting, tech.
- 03
Classes you can walk to
Stream a live class from a neighbour or join one happening two streets away. Replays when you miss it.
- 04
A market that stays local
Sell a chair, find a roofer, swap textbooks. Deals happen face to face, the way they should.
- 05
Neighbours, not usernames
Phone-verified accounts and real names. The person you’re talking to is who they say they are.
- 06
Moderated by locals
Clear rules and neighbourhood moderators keep it useful. Spam and abuse get handled fast.
Live classes
Learn from the people next door.
Every week there’s something to learn within walking distance — taught by neighbours, not strangers on the internet. Join live or catch the replay later.
