Set your area - or share your location - and every listing narrows to what is actually near you. Hostels, food, events, beauty, trades and laundry all sit behind the same filter, so “near me” means the same thing everywhere in the app.
Getting started
How it works
Find a room, a meal or a fixer, book it, and pay into escrow. Your money only moves when the thing you paid for actually happens.

1. Find it
2. Check it
Every vendor has been through an ID check, a business check and an in-person visit before they can list. That is what the verified badge means - here is the full process. For a hostel you can also book an inspection before committing.
3. Pay into escrow
You pay Sync, not the vendor. We hold the money until the booking or order completes, then release it. That is the whole point: the vendor knows the money is real, and you know it has not left your hands for something that has not happened yet.
4. If something goes wrong
- Raise a dispute from the booking or order. The funds stay held while we look.
- We read both sides, ask for evidence, and decide - refund, partial refund, or release.
- Vendors who repeatedly get it wrong lose their verification.
What it costs
Browsing and booking are free for students. Vendors pay a fee on completed transactions, which is what funds verification and the escrow process.
