Founding 500: the first 500 members keep their price for life. Lock it in

Subscribe to your locals.

Only Locals is a members-only deals app for tradies. Workwear, tools, smoko, servicing and the gym after knock-off. Show the app at the counter and the discount's yours.

iPhone and Android apps are on the way. The web app works on any phone today.

Three taps between you and cheaper boots.

  1. Find a local.

    Open the app and see who's near the job today: workwear, hardware, the coffee van that's there at 5:30. Sorted by distance, searchable by whatever you need.

    • Nearest first
    • Trades sorted into categories

    • Save it for later with the heart

  3. Show it at the counter.

    Unlocking gives you a code and a QR that last five minutes. Flash the screen, they take the discount off. Nothing to print and nothing to cut out.

    • Live for five minutes, so screenshots don't get passed around

No chains. No franchises. Only locals.

We're starting with the businesses tradies spend money at every week. Every one of them is independent, and every one sets its own member offer.

Got a shop? Get in front of the trades.

Members are locals who already spend at places like yours. You pick the offer, they show a live code at the counter, and you take it off the bill.

  • You set the offer. A percentage, a dollar amount, a freebie. Change it whenever.
  • No gear to install. Check the code on their screen. That's the whole system.
  • Independents only. You won't be listed next to a national chain.

Fair questions.

Is it only for tradies?

We're starting with the trades because that's who we know, and the businesses that sell to them. Anyone can join though, and as more local spots come on board the app covers more of your week, not only your work week.

How do I use a deal?

Find the business in the app, tap Unlock offer, and show the screen at the counter. Each code is live for five minutes, so the person serving you knows it's real and it's yours.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Monthly has no lock-in, so cancel in the app and you won't be charged again. Yearly runs to the end of the year you've paid for.

What's the Founding 500?

The first 500 members keep the launch price for as long as they stay members. When those spots are gone the price goes up for new members, not for you.

Where does it work?

Wherever we've signed up local businesses, and that list grows every week. Open the app to see who's near you before you join.

Why “Only Locals”?

The good stuff's always behind a subscription. Ours just gets you cheaper coffee and boots.
