One free app for your street — a place to give, ask, and find local help close to home.
Or open it in your browser
One free app, two sides to it. Neighbours sharing what they have, and local support in one searchable list, sorted by how close it is to you.
No money, no ads, no algorithm. Just local.
Post it in seconds. Neighbours nearby see it first.
Ask — someone a few doors down probably has it. Kindred matches your ask with what's on offer nearby, automatically.
Give, lend or share locally, with no money changing hands.
Browse food, clothing, housing and other support. Cards show costs, distance and service categories. Check eligibility, opening times and availability with the provider.
No listing fees, no feed algorithm, no pressure. Just post, chat, drop off or pick up.
Snap a photo, tag it GIVE or NEED, and it's live for neighbours around you. Smart matching quietly pairs it with nearby posts — good matches come to you. All exchanges are free; no payment or trade is required.
Someone nearby pings you in-app — no phone numbers shared. Sort out a time, a pickup spot, or a community meetup point, all inside Kindred.
Leave it on the porch for pickup, meet at a shared spot, or have a yarn while you hand it across — whatever suits you both. Mark it complete and you both earn Kindness Points.
Everything Kindred does, rooted in keeping your neighbourhood feed honest and your handovers safe.
Built-in directory of NZ support helplines. Check the listed number and tap to call, or tap "More info" to visit the organisation's website.
You're not alone. Open Profile, tap Free Support Lines — they're all right there.
Kindred includes tools to help you make informed choices about exchanges. New members verify their email and add their home address before they can post, message or make an offer — and can earn a GPS-verified Resident badge for extra trust. Verification badges and ratings provide useful context, but do not guarantee safety. You can report or block users and agree on a suitable public meeting place.
Kindred quietly lines up your "gives" with nearby neighbours' "needs" — and the other way around — so good matches find you. Every match, for everyone, free.
When a few neighbours want the same thing, you see them ranked fairly — first-come, with each person's rating, past exchanges, distance and verification at a glance — so choosing is easy and fair.
Earn KP for listing, rating, verifying, and completing exchanges. Climb from Newcomer all the way to Kindred Spirit.
See who's most generous in your patch — weekly, monthly, or all-time.
Rate every exchange out of five stars. Star ratings and completed exchanges build trust — so dependable neighbours stand out.
Arrange handover without handing over your phone number.
Browse around your address or wherever you actually are. Address autocomplete makes setup quick.
Meet at shared local spots — parks, libraries, marae — surfaced in-app as safer handover locations. Share a live-location tracker link with a friend or whānau while you go; it auto-expires after 2 hours.
Need help with a task — a lift, a move, a quick job? Post it and Kindred pings nearby neighbours who can lend a hand, closest first. Helping with a task earns the biggest Kindness Points in the app.
Old posts auto-expire so the feed stays fresh and honest. Nothing lingering from six months ago pretending to still be available.
Kindred Supporter is an optional paid tier for folks who want to go a bit further — extra perks for you, and a quiet thank-you for backing the app.
Prices GST-inclusive. Cancel anytime through Google Play or the web billing portal, depending on where you subscribed — it keeps working until the end of the billing period. Kindred stays fully free without Supporter.
A few dollars a month doesn't feel like much on its own — 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 — and that adds up to something real.
Supporter doubles the points on everything you do — the one-off profile-photo bonus is the single exception.
Open it in your browser right now — no install needed. Or download the Android app. On iPhone, use the web app and add it to your Home Screen.
