The social media upstart, emerging from stealth mode, is now available to anyone with a .edu email address as it launches exclusively into the college market.
NEW YORK, NY, Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After months of building excitement under the radar, Connyct, the mobile short form video app designed to connect people through personalized communities, launched into the college market exclusively on the iOS App Store today. Connyct is now open to anyone with a valid .edu email address.
Bridging Online to Offline
Connyct (pronounced kuh-nekt) introduces a fresh take on social media, designed to foster genuine relationships and create memorable experiences both online and offline. The platform – already deemed a USA-based TikTok challenger – prioritizes real connections. With its launch into the college market, Connyct makes it easier than ever for students to meet, collaborate, and create meaningful communities around the college experience.
“We’ve designed Connyct to bring students together in real life, not just behind a screen,” said Matthew Berman, Co-Founder and CEO of Connyct. “After months of feedback during our initial designs and through extensive testing period, we’re thrilled to open the doors to campuses everywhere and redefine what the social media experience can be.”
The first of its kind Events Center is uniquely powered by mobile short form video that users have grown accustomed to. Users will be able to edit like a pro, plan, capture and share moments with fully-licensed music integrated into video, as well as find the hottest parties, plan group events, and keep up with their squad all in one place. No one will miss the Uber to the party or wear the same dress as you again.
Features Tailored for College Life
- Campus Exclusivity: Users can only join with a .edu email, ensuring a secure and focused college community.
- Interest-Based Groups: Whether it’s gaming, study groups, or outdoor adventures, students can easily find like-minded peers.
- Event Discovery: From club meetings to spontaneous campus hangouts, Connyct’s event tools make it simple to stay in the loop.

Be the “Connyctor” on Your Campus

By applying and joining up, Connyctors can help build a more connected, vibrant, and inclusive campus culture inside and outside the app.
