Borrow before you buy.
Neighborrow lets you lend your things to the people you already trust: your family, your street, your friends. You decide who can see each item, and you always know where your stuff is.
Why Neighborrow
Half of what we buy, we use once.
The ladder, the tile saw, the tent, the pressure washer. Someone you know already owns one. Neighborrow makes it easy to ask, and easy to say yes.
Your own trust groups
Make groups for the people you trust: family, the neighbors on your street, your crew from work. You own them and you decide who's in.
Per-item visibility
Choose exactly which groups can see each thing. Share the lawnmower with the street and the good camera with family only.
Lend and get it back
Requests, hand-offs and returns in one place, so you know who has what and when it's coming home.
Private by design
Your groups and your things aren't public. Only the people in a group see what's shared with it.
Borrow before you buy
Before you spend money on something you'll use twice, see if someone in your groups already has one.
Less stuff, more neighbors
Fewer duplicate purchases, less clutter in the garage, and a reason to knock on a neighbor's door.
How it works
Four steps from “I need a ladder” to having one.
Start a group
Invite your family, your street or your friends. Groups belong to you.
List your things
Add what you're happy to lend, and pick which groups can see each one.
Ask to borrow
See what your groups are sharing and request what you need, when you need it.
Hand off and return
Track who has what, then mark it returned when it comes home.
You're in control
Every item has its own guest list.
Trust isn't all-or-nothing. Neighborrow lets you decide, item by item, which of your groups can see what you own.
- Groups are personal and owned by you
- Each item is visible only to the groups you choose
- Nobody outside your groups can browse your things
- Add and remove people from your groups at any time
