How it works
- Get an invite. Every member is invited by a neighbor and approved.
- Set up in five minutes. Add your kids' age ranges and interests if you like; never names or photos.
- Lend, play and meet. Request an item, join an activity, or answer a neighbor's question.
Built for families' privacy
- Invite-only: every member is approved, and accounts are for adults 18 and older.
- We never ask for children's names, birthdates, photos or schools. Kids' age ranges stay private unless you choose to share a family summary.
- Messages are text only, between neighbors in your group. A moderator reads a conversation only if someone reports it, and every report is reviewed within 24 hours.
- Free for families. We never sell your information or target ads at you or your children. How we work
