Toolbox: Catalog & Lend

Stop buying things you already own, or forgot you owned. Toolbox is a home inventory app with a neighbourly twist. Catalog anything worth tracking, power tools, ladders, appliances, fixtures, and when you're willing to lend something, let nearby neighbours find it. CATALOG YOUR STUFF Add items by photo, barcode scan, or just typing the name. Toolbox tags each item automatically (and lets you add your own tags), tracks where it lives in your home, and holds notes and multiple photos per item. Browse by category, search instantly, edit anytime. This half of the app works completely on your own, from day one. No neighbours required, no network needed. It's useful the moment you open it, because most of us have no real idea what's in the garage. LEND WITHOUT STRANGER-DANGER Mark any cataloged item as lendable, and it quietly becomes visible to nearby neighbours using Toolbox, by approximate distance only. Think "a few blocks away," never a pin on a map. Your exact location is never shared with anyone. When a neighbour requests to borrow something, you choose whether to agree, and only then do you share a specific pickup spot, with that one person. You also set a return deadline up front, and both sides get a reminder as it approaches. No open chat with strangers. Coordination happens through the app with a simple, structured flow, not a messaging free-for-all. SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS Set up a household so everyone under one roof sees and manages the same shared catalog, with clear "added by" attribution. Add friends to see their lendable tools regardless of distance, so borrowing from someone you actually know is always one tap away, not gated by how close they live. Pick up small badges as you build out your catalog and start lending. Nothing loud, just a nice way to see your own progress. WHY Most garages have a drill, a pressure washer, and a ladder that get used twice a year. Most streets have five of each. Toolbox starts by helping you know what you have, then makes it easy to let that sit a little less idle. PRIVACY, IN PLAIN TERMS - Your inventory is yours. Nothing is public by default. - Lending visibility is distance-band only. No address, no pin, no exact location, ever, until you personally agree to lend and choose what to share. - Sign in with Apple or Google. No separate password to manage or lose. - Delete your account and data anytime from your profile. Catalog what you own. Lend what you're willing to share. Keep your address to yourself.
