// What is Kindred

Two things, really.

One free app, two sides to it. Both running off the same map of where you are β€” sorted by how close help is, right now.

No money, no ads, no algorithm. Just local.

01
NEIGHBOUR-TO-NEIGHBOUR
Give what you've got. Ask for what you need.
GIVE
🍎

Got too much, too many, too old for you?

Post it. Nearby neighbours will see it first.

NEED
πŸ”¨

Looking for something?

Ask β€” someone a few doors down probably has it.

Informal lending and the odd swap happen too β€” that's between neighbours.

02
LOCAL SUPPORT, CLOSE BY
Every kind of local help β€” on one map.

Hundreds of trusted local services already on the map β€” and growing. No Googling, no phone calls.

// How it works

Three steps. That's the whole thing.

No listing fees, no feed algorithm, no pressure. Just post, chat, drop off or pick up.

STEP 01
πŸ“Έ

Post a give or an ask.

Snap a photo, tag it GIVE or NEED, and Kindred drops it on the map for neighbours within walking distance. You can even note "open to swap for…" if you're keen.

STEP 02
πŸ’¬

A neighbour messages.

Someone nearby pings you in-app. Sort out a time, a pickup spot, or a community meetup point. All the chat happens inside Kindred.

STEP 03
🀝

Drop it off or pick it up.

Leave it on the porch for pickup, meet at a shared spot, or have a yarn while you hand it across β€” whatever suits you both. Mark it complete and you both earn Kindness Points.

// What's in the app

🧹

Stale-listing cleanup

Old posts auto-expire so the feed stays fresh and honest. Nothing lingering from six months ago pretending to still be available.

πŸ’› WHY THIS MATTERS

A few dollars a month doesn't feel like much on its own β€” but stacked across a few hundred neighbours, it keeps Kindred running and growing, and helps fund the other community-focused projects we're building to help more Kiwis.

You're not buying features. You're helping us build more kindness into the world β€” and that adds up to something real.
