Track who borrowed the drill & when it comes back

A lending ledger your whole block can see

Block group, makerspace friends, or roommates sharing gear — one list shows who used each tool and who has it now.

The problem

Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

  • Your neighbor tool library ideas are scattered across texts, Notes, and screenshots
  • You and your partner keep two lists that never match
  • Saved places have no phone number or directions when you finally go
  • Nothing lets you both check things off in real time from your own phones

What you get

Used-by tracking

Know who already got value from each shared item.

Return reminders

When everyone's done, nudge whoever has it to put it back in the pool.
