LentBook is a calm, offline-first way to keep track of everything you lend to friends and family — books, tools, games, electronics, anything. No more "did I ever get that back?" moments. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add a loan in three quick steps: snap a photo, write down who has it, set a return date • Pick a borrower from your contacts, or just type a name • See at a glance what's overdue, due soon, or comfortably out • Get gentle reminders one day before, on the due date, or weekly if something stays out too long • Send a friendly "still got it?" message in one tap • Review your lending history and see who borrows what most DESIGNED TO FEEL CALM LentBook isn't built to nag. Overdue items are shown in a warm, soft way — present enough to notice, never aggressive. The whole app is designed around the feeling of generosity, not anxiety. PRIVACY FIRST Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Your contacts are only opened when you tap to pick someone — never read in the background.
