How it works
No public marketplace. No strangers. Just the people you'd wave to over the fence.
1. Start or join a private group
Your street, your friends, your club. Invite-only. You choose who's in, and nobody outside can see a thing.
2. Ask
Post "Who's got a post-hole borer?" to your groups. Or browse what your group has already listed.
3. Borrow and return
Pick it up, use it, bring it back sorted. Free, a box of beers, or a few dollars. The lender decides.
See how it feels
This is the moment Who's Got exists for. You need something, you ask your people, and someone three doors down says "yep, got one". Try the flow - it's a simulation, no signup needed.
- → Only your groups see your ask. Nothing is public.
- → A quick condition note at handover keeps everyone square.
- → The lender sets the terms: free, koha, or a few dollars.
Who's got a...
Quick handover note
Thirty seconds now saves an awkward chat later.
Sorted.
Pick up from Mel, 3 doors down, Saturday 9am.
That's one less thing you had to buy.
Simulation only. The real thing arrives with the pilot.
Built for trust, not for strangers
Most lending sites are marketplaces full of people you've never met. Who's Got is the opposite, and that's the whole point.
Nothing is public
Your gear is only visible inside groups you've joined. There is no public catalogue for anyone to browse, full stop.
You know who's asking
Groups are invite-only: your street, your mates, your club. You lend to people you know, face to face.
Clear at handover
A quick condition note and a lender-set replacement value mean everyone knows where they stand before anything changes hands.
Reputation that means something
Ratings live inside your community. Returning things sorted and on time is how you keep being the neighbour everyone says yes to.
Got a shed full of gear?
List one thing, the whole shed, or the baking cupboard. Lend only when it suits. Your stuff stays your stuff, and you set the terms.
"Take it, just bring it back clean." - how most lending between neighbours already works.
Your listings
You control which groups see each item.
Fair questions
Is it free?
Yes, for community members, and lending between neighbours always will be. No commission, no clip of the ticket.
What if something gets damaged?
Borrower and lender sort it between them, like neighbours do. The app prompts a condition note at handover and lets lenders set a replacement value, so expectations are clear before anything changes hands. Check your contents insurance too: some NZ policies cover items you borrow, some don't.
Who can see my stuff?
Only people in your groups. There is no public listing page, full stop. You choose which of your groups can see each item.
What about things nobody in my group has?
Later on, approved local hire companies may appear as a fallback option when your groups come up empty. Community lending stays free either way.
Why not just use the street WhatsApp group?
Fair question. The group chat forgets. Who's Got remembers who has a trailer, tracks what's out and when it's due back, prompts the condition note, and works across all your groups at once, without scrolling three months of messages.
Be first when a pilot starts near you
No spam, no sharing your details. Just a heads-up when Who's Got is ready for your neighbourhood.
You're on the list.
