ItemShare - ItemShare is a free app for borrowing and lending items
by•
Need a drill to put up a shelf? Request one on ItemShare, and a neighbor who already has one can offer to lend it for free. You can also lend things you already own. Available now on iOS and Android, and starting in NYC.

Hey! I’m Quinn. In high school, I organized an equipment drive for a hockey team for players with disabilities. I drove around picking up donations and ended up collecting hundreds of pieces of gear. I was shocked by how much equipment people had sitting unused just a few minutes away.
That experience stuck with me. In late 2021, after a personal loss, I wanted to put my energy into something positive and started looking into how neighbors could share what they already owned. I began market research and hired a developer. The first version of the app had a lot of issues. Then I met Tanuja, who cared about the idea as much as I did. We rebuilt it together, tested it with early users, and launched a few weeks ago, with a focus in NYC.
ItemShare lets you ask neighbors to borrow everyday items for free. I’d love to hear what would make you comfortable lending something to a neighbor you haven’t met yet, or what you’d want us to add. Thanks for checking it out!
thanks for doing something non-ai based, but, not for vibe designing this. the lack of imagery is poor design, thsi should be a simple, visual based app
