Borrow what you need.
Ask about the tool you need for one job and agree on pickup, care, and return directly with its owner.
← Who Nayborlee is for
For sharing & helping
Someone has a ladder. Someone needs a hand.
Make everyday help easier to find. Give your neighbors one shared place to say what they can lend, what they can offer, and where a little help would matter.
Free for neighbors. Free to start with a public introduction. Fully private group plans.
Why Nayborlee

A little time, a spare item, or a practical skill can make another person’s day easier.

Something to share
“Extra tomato seedlings looking for a garden.”
From a hello to a first plan
One person can
get it started.
Find an existing group first. If there isn’t one for your place, give your people a clear reason to join.
Look for your group →Introduce your place.
Choose a name, broad location, and who belongs. Decide whether to have a public introduction or a fully private group.
Complete your next step.
Public groups are reviewed before they open; private groups go to checkout and open after confirmed payment. Once your group opens, follow your account’s setup steps.
Invite your first people.
Use the joining option your group has chosen. Post a welcome and one easy plan, then invite others to help shape what comes next.
Make it local
Keep help close enough to be useful.
Describe the area your group covers and the kinds of offers it welcomes. Set expectations for borrowing and returning items before the first exchange.
- Neighborhood or broad service area, city, and ZIP
- Types of neighborly help the group welcomes
- How people agree on pickup and return
- Local repair, reuse, or donation links

Before the first hello
Questions before you get started.
Practical answers for the people who live here and the people helping them connect.
See current pricing →What should I include in a borrowing request?
Say what you need, what you will use it for, and when you need and can return it. Let the owner decide whether to lend it and agree on the details together.
Does Nayborlee arrange pickup or guarantee an item?
No. Members coordinate their own arrangements. Confirm the item’s condition, care, pickup, return, and any expectations directly before borrowing.
Can we share skills or time as well as tools?
Yes. A small offer of help or a request for a manageable task fits here. Explain the task and timing without pressuring anyone to volunteer.
How do we keep pickup details private?
Keep precise addresses, entry codes, and personal contact information out of public introductions. Share only the details needed with the people involved.
What is public, and what stays inside the group?
A free group has a public introduction with its name, purpose, and broad location. Member conversations and member lists stay inside the group. A fully private group has no public introduction or search listing and uses the Organizer plan. Keep private addresses and access details out of the public introduction.
What does it cost?
Neighbors participate free. Starting a group with a public introduction is free. Fully private groups use one Organizer plan per group; see Pricing for current rates and renewal terms. View pricing and billing terms.
Can we choose how people join?
Yes. A group with a public introduction can use invitations, reviewed requests, or direct joining. Fully private groups are invitation-only. Explain who the group is for in its introduction so people can choose the right place.
What happens after I propose a group?
Public groups are reviewed before they open. Private groups go to checkout and open after confirmed payment, with no admin approval. Once your group opens, complete the setup shown in your account and welcome your first members.
Can more than one person help organize?
Yes. More than one person can help organize a group. Start with a small team and agree who welcomes people, helps with joining requests, and keeps the first few plans moving.
Where can we find things to do nearby?
Browse Happenings for county activities and area guides, then share a relevant link with your group. Check the original organizer’s listing for the latest time, location, cost, and accessibility details before making a plan. Private group plans stay separate from public activity listings. Explore Happenings.
Is this a paid service marketplace?
This group is for neighbor-to-neighbor sharing and mutual help. Independent businesses can submit separate offerings for review; they should not present advertising as a neighbor’s recommendation.
What if a request is urgent or unsafe?
Use emergency services for immediate danger. Only take on help you are comfortable and equipped to offer; a group post is not a substitute for a qualified service when one is needed.
It starts with your people
