One icon on your home screen.
Connex replaces the app-hopping of an ordinary day — the messenger, the alert group, the study folder and the emergency plan — with one place that does all of it.
Messaging that carries the day
Everything you expect from a messenger, with the details done right — including how it behaves when the network isn't perfect.
- 1:1 and group chats — groups with names, photos, members and admin controls.
- Voice & video calls — with a call history tab next to your conversations.
- Status updates — photo, video or text updates that expire after 24 hours.
- Sent · delivered · read — tick marks on every message, with read receipts you can switch off.
- Privacy controls — decide who sees your photo, your last seen and your online status.
The neighbourhood, in real time
The Feed is where your community posts. The Alerts tab is where the important part rises to the top — official data and neighbour reports, sorted into six categories and filtered to your area.
- Loadshedding schedules — official stage data refreshed automatically through the day.
- Community tagging — anyone can tag a post as Utility, Safety, Traffic, Water, Weather or Community.
- Area filtering — set your area on your profile; alerts from elsewhere stay out of your way.
- A normal feed too — likes, comments and photos for the everyday posts in between.
Built for matric season
A learner hub for Grades 10–12: the papers to practise on, the notes to revise with, tutors to ask, and other learners to figure it out with. All of it free.
- Past papers & memos — 22 subjects from Mathematics to Visual Arts, organised by grade, year, session and paper.
- Study notes — summaries, formula sheets, worked examples and essay guides by topic and difficulty.
- Tutor directory — filter by subject, grade, province, language, online or in person, paid or free.
- Help board — ask a question, get answers from other learners, accept the one that solved it.
- Bookmarks & history — save papers and notes, pick up where you left off.
Designed for the worst minute of the week
SOS lives inside the chat tab, always one hold away. It exists for the moment when dialling, unlocking and explaining are all too slow.
You request, they accept. Nobody becomes your emergency contact without agreeing to it.
A countdown with haptic pulses — long enough to prevent accidents, short enough to matter.
Every accepted contact is notified at once, with where you are attached.
Still to come
The same app grows new abilities, phase by phase. Nothing here is sold before it's real — these ship when they're ready.
Connex Pay
Send money to a contact, pay a bill, buy airtime — inside the conversation where you already talk about it.
Connex Clips
Short video with a creator economy that pays African creators directly, in their own currency.
Connex Logistics
Rides, food, parcels and groceries — the moving-things layer, built on the network the other modules create.
