A controversial and exclusive social network is once again taking Miami by storm. It is Clockout, an application that only accepts “smart people,” or at least that is how it advertises itself.
Available only by invitation or after passing a selection process, this app has captured the attention of thousands of young professionals, especially in South Florida.
With a minimalist aesthetic and promises of access to private galas, exclusive clubs, and networking events in places like Wynwood and Brickell, Clockout aims to create a high-level community among recent graduates, entrepreneurs, and professionals with ambitious aspirations.
“I don’t want to meet Joe from Starbucks,” said an anonymous user on the Instagram of lifestyle_miami, reflecting the elitist spirit that is both fascinating and unsettling.
On social media, reactions have come in quickly: from those celebrating their acceptance to others who complain that “everyone ends up getting in” or are unhappy about the lack of an Android version.
Others see it as merely a strategy for social validation. “Just say you’re a consultant,” joked a commentator.
Clockout is not the first to bet on exclusivity as a driving force for attraction. It is preceded by apps like Raya, known for connecting celebrities and creatives for dating and networking, or Clubhouse, which gained fame with its invitation-only audio format. Can Clockout sustain interest beyond the hype?
In Miami, where the entrepreneurial scene continues to thrive, the app has found its ideal breeding ground. But the question remains: is it a genuine tool for professional connection or a social filter with an air of superiority?
While some dream of getting in, others joke about creating an app “for the rejected.” The truth is that Clockout continues to be a hot topic… at least among those who have managed to join its exclusive club.
