## What is Freeya?

Freeya is the fun and effortless way to give your things a second life. List them, set them out, and let your neighbors take them home.

Built for Free 
Everything, from posting items to arranging pick ups to the feed of items, was designed specifically for easily giving and getting free stuff.

Super Fast Posting 
List a single item or an entire pile in seconds. Snap an image, describe (if needed), post and and let the app take it from there. No coordinating, no messaging, no negotiating.

Pickups Simplified 
See something you want? For most posts, tap to claim it and it's yours. For scheduled pickups, you'll suggest a time and the poster confirms, eliminating the back and forth.

Customizable Browsing 
You choose how to “shop”. Toggle between list and map view, set your filters, and zero in on exactly what you're looking for.

Smart Notifications 
Freeya keeps you in the loop only when it matters, giving you just the updates you actually need.

Be the First to Know
Looking for something specific? Set a search alert and get notified the moment a neighbor gives one away.

Community Minded
Every item passed along is a small act of generosity. A thank you note after pickup makes sure your neighbors know it.

Our Story 
Freeya was founded by the team behind Chip Drop. Connecting neighbors through reuse is the whole reason we exist. Building the best version of Freeya is an ongoing commitment, and your feedback is a big part of how we get there. We'd love to hear from you at support@freeya.com.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-07-28, version 1.9.4*

I’ve given away so many cool things and it’s so easy!

### 5/5 — Better than DIY posting

*2026-06-03, version 1.9.3*

So far so good! This is great and saves a ton of time arranging pickups, no shows, etc. and setting up an account with the app was no more onerous than any typical set up/account creation.

### 1/5 — craigslist, facebook, offerup are better

*2026-05-09, version 1.9.3*

I decide when my address gets released - not you. Nothing gives you the right to violate my privacy that way.

### 5/5 — What a Service!

*2026-04-27*

I almost hesitate to write this but:
I have to move soon, and this app has been a lifesaver. I found a bunch of useful things. I’ve met cool people. Right now I am in a phase of having to rely on others, generosity, but I am looking forward to the day where I can post things for people to pick up.


And I would recommend if you like this app and what it represents read the serviceberry by Robin wall Kimmer.

### 5/5 — Wow.

*2026-02-19*

My daughter told me about this app and at first I had trouble connecting with their server.  Once I got it loaded, I posted 6 items in the morning and they were all claimed within the hour and picked up by the evening.

### 5/5 — Makes giving things away easy!!

*2025-12-31*

The app makes it really simple to post items and takes all the coordination overhead out of the process! It’s been a huge help for decluttering my space :)

### 5/5 — Perfect!!!

*2025-12-28, version 1.8.0*

I love Freeya!! Extremely easy to use and benefits everyone involved. 10/10!

### 5/5 — More people should use this!

*2025-07-29*

Well designed pick up system for a variety of situations - have had no problems with pick ups!

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2025-06-16*

Awesome alternative to Goodwill or Facebook Marketplace for items you no longer need in your life! Scheduled pick-ups make it so easy to pass an item along to a new home. App is intuitive and reliable.

### 1/5 — Doesn't support my phone any more

*2025-05-26, version 1.6.1*

I used to love listing stuff on this app. But today I opened it up to a cutesy little warning about an update. Here in the app store I see that the app now requires a later version of iOS than my phone supports. So I guess that's it for me. Thanks Freeya, it was fun while it lasted. I hope you make good use of all those iOS 17 specific features that the app now apparently requires.
