About

FriendsWithTools

Features

The tool you need is already in a friend's garage. FriendsWithTools is a private, invite-only app for sharing tools with your friends, family, and neighbors. See what they own, borrow what you need, and keep track of everything you've lent. How It Works - Create a private group for your street, family, or crew: or join one with an invite from a friend. - Add your tools with photos and a category, or check off common ones with the quick-add wizard. - Browse what your groups are sharing and send a borrow request. What You Get - Groups for your street, your family, your club, or your crew. - Borrow requests with clear approvals, so both sides always know where things stand. - Loan tracking with due dates: what's out, what's due back, and what you've borrowed. - Reminders when a loan is due back, and a nudge when one is overdue. - Threads with each owner or borrower, right in the app. - A wishlist, so friends know which tools you're looking for. What We Don't Do - No ads, no trackers. The app runs no ads and carries no advertising or analytics trackers. - No payments. Core borrowing and lending is always free. - No strangers. Every group is invite-only, so you always know who has your tools. - No public listings. Your tools are visible only to friends you accept and groups you're invited into. No ratings, no reputation scores, no public profiles: trust here is built on real relationships, and what you share stays inside your groups. FriendsWithTools is free to join and invite-only by design. Start a group with people you already trust, or join one you've been invited to, and put your tools to work.
