This part of the app is switched off right now. It opens after launch.
BeLocal is the part of BeMatrx that reaches into the physical world. Locals open a listing in their city; travellers and newcomers ask them for practical help. Everything else in BeMatrx stays inside the app — this doesn't.
What people help with
- Airport pickup
- A tour of the neighbourhood
- Language help
- Guidance with official procedures
- A venue recommendation
- A small delivery
Opening your own listing
Open BeLocal, go to Me, and turn on Join BeLocal. Write a line or two about yourself — the languages you speak, what you love about your city — and pick the kinds of help you can offer. Then activate the listing.
To host you need a verified account, a minimum level, a home city set, and a clean record. If you have an active penalty you can't host until it's over.
Asking someone for help
- Open BeLocal and browse the
Friendstab for your city. - Tap
Ask for Helpon someone's listing. - Choose the type of help and add a short note.
- Send the request and wait for their answer.
Requests you send or receive live under the Me tab, with a status: pending, accepted, declined, completed, or cancelled.
Finishing a favour
When it's done, both sides confirm. Once you both have, the favour counts as complete — it moves the host a step closer to the next tier, and either of you can write a reference. Money never changes hands between users — that's a rule, not a suggestion.
References
After a completed favour, either side can write a reference. References are public and permanent — they stay on the BeLocal profile for anyone to read. Write them honestly; they're what makes the directory trustworthy.
Tiers
As you complete favours and collect references you move up: Friend → Trusted Friend → City Ambassador.
Trip plans
Under the Trips tab you can plan a trip — where from, where to, which week, and why (tourism, education, business, an event) — and other people can ask to join.
Your exact dates stay private. The discover list only shows the city, the week, and the purpose; only members you've accepted see the real dates. You can cancel a trip, leave one, or mark it complete when it's over.
Before you meet anyone
Read Staying safe on BeLocal. It takes a minute and it matters. The limits on what BeLocal can be used for are also written into section 5 of the Terms of Service.
