AktiveShare is a local marketplace for borrowing, lending, and renting the things people already own. Instead of buying something you'll use once, rent it from someone nearby. Instead of letting your own gear gather dust, list it and earn from it. RENT WHAT YOU NEED • Browse listings by keyword, category, and price • See photos, daily, weekly and monthly rates, deposits, and the pickup area before you commit • Choose your dates, add items to your cart, and send a reservation request • Message the owner in the app to ask questions and arrange pickup EARN FROM WHAT YOU OWN • List an item in a few guided steps — photos, description, category, and rates • Set your own daily, weekly and monthly pricing, plus a security deposit • Review every request and approve or decline it • Keep track of upcoming, active and completed rentals in one place BORROW FREE IN YOUR COMMUNITY Some items are shared through communities — neighborhoods, clubs, and groups. Join with a community code and borrow eligible items free for the lending period the owner sets. Owners choose how they share: free to their community, as a paid rental, or both. HOW IT WORKS 1.

Because it works hand in hand with Apple Intelligence on your iPhone, it's fast, personal, and private by design. Just unboxed a new iPhone? This is what it was built for. “Two of us. Somewhere quiet. Around $50.” “Something fun, but low-key.” “Give me a reason to leave my apartment this Sunday.” ASK KARPO Know roughly what you want? Tell Karpo the way you’d tell a friend who knows the city. Add whatever matters—closer, quieter, more spontaneous—and Karpo shapes the ideas around the moment. DISCOVER Not sure what you want?
