Start with a community

Find a place to belong.

Search the public catalogue before signing up. Explore a community’s page, members, events and reviews, then decide whether to join.

Search published communities. Jobs and events have their own sections inside CNET.

A world worth discovering

Not just a pin on a map.

Explore a 3D map of places and communities. Build your own discovery history, meet in real life and learn the stories behind remarkable places.

Places, visits & your map passport

Find physical communities, check in at eligible venues and collect visited places, cities and memories in your personal map passport.

A city that opens up as you explore

Your check-ins and explicit location actions reveal explored areas. Optional approximate sharing lets accepted friends see your area while you share yours.

Landmarks with a story

View architectural landmarks and reconstructed historic places in 3D. Historical cards distinguish original sites, surviving fragments and reconstructions, with sources and uncertainty.

From a QR code to a real connection

IRL Connect needs confirmation from both people. Sponsored map quests use their own check-in or QR rules; participation and rewards are confirmed by the server.

Location sharing is optional. POI visits and contributed photos depend on enabled features; submissions are not public before moderation.

Your everyday network

More ways to connect. One place to return to.

From finding a collaborator to organising a walk: each part of CNET gives a connection somewhere to go next.

People & professional networking

Browse the directory, filter by interests and goals, and send connection invitations. Radar ranks people for selected goals and explains its suggestions.

Conversations that continue

Send messages and media, call one-to-one or meet in a group. Screen sharing supports collaboration; separate secret chats offer end-to-end encryption.

  • Chats & media
  • Voice & video calls
  • Secret E2EE chats

Private seven-day step circles

Invite your contacts to a private circle. Results become visible only after an invitation is accepted. Keep a personal goal alongside the shared ranking.

For communities & business

Give your community a home, not another disconnected channel.

For independent communities, restaurants, hotels, clubs, brands and organisers: bring membership, activity and direct communication into one workspace.

A public community page

Create a community with its own page, identity, description, location and joining rules. Already listed? Request management through the claim form.

Membership & CRM

Manage requests, members and groups. Work with member and visit activity instead of losing the relationship after the first visit.

Events, offers & promo codes

Publish events and offers, manage promo codes and give members a reason to come back.

Feedback & communication

Read and answer reviews, keep conversations in community channels and send notifications to people who have opted in.

Analytics, AI & Autopilot

Read dashboard activity, use the AI helper where enabled and schedule Autopilot campaigns with previews, recipient limits and consent controls. AI access follows your account’s conditions.

Loyalty & Wallet

Connect eligible loyalty benefits and Wallet passes where supported. Availability depends on your account and the relevant provider.

Create a business account

Your dashboard reflects your community’s recorded activity. Service access and pricing depend on your account.

More when you need it

A network that fits more of your life.

AI Copilot

An AI assistant with conversation history, streaming answers and memory controls. It requires eligibility and AI consent; usage can consume credits.

Travel & digital services

Explore eSIM data packages, telephony options and eligible Wallet passes where configured. Check prices, provider availability and activation details in your account.

Invites, rewards & personal touches

Share your invite link, track server-confirmed referral progress, send eligible gifts and personalise your profile with optional cosmetic frames.

Help the network grow

Ambassadors and agents can introduce members and communities through dedicated roles. Participation and reward conditions are shown in the relevant account.

Recruiting with context

A separate recruiter workspace brings opted-in career profiles and candidate conversations into the hiring workflow.

Different platforms, explicit choices

Web, installed PWA and Android retain Dating/Family options. The native iOS app is permanently networking-only and does not collect KYC or face-verification data.

You choose what to share

Clear permissions. Real controls.

Location is a choice

Approximate friend sharing is opt-in and reciprocal among accepted, unblocked friends. Turning it off deletes the shared location; a location expires after 24 hours.

Health stays a separate decision

Apple Health and Health Connect import steps and activity only with native read-only consent. Step circles are private and need accepted invitations; native health records do not drive matching or Social Rating.

Safety without impossible promises

Manage privacy, block or report a member and choose a separate end-to-end encrypted secret chat when appropriate. Optional verification is not a background check or a guarantee of safety.

On the screen you use

Start in your browser. Take CNET with you.

Use the web version without a store download, install the PWA where your browser supports it, or open the available native store listing.

Web & installable PWA

Communities, networking and everyday tools in your browser. Installation and push support depend on the browser and device.

Open the web version

Android

The native Android app, with optional Health Connect step and activity import.

Google Play

iPhone

The native iOS app focuses on networking. Apple Health import is optional; Dating/Family, KYC and Usage & Billing are not part of this native app.
