How it works

Three steps, all from your phone.

  1. 1

    Snap it

    Take a photo and your location is pinned for you. Add a title, choose when it can be picked up, and you're done in under a minute.

  2. 2

    Neighbors claim it

    Give-aways go to the first person to claim. Barter listings collect offers, photos included, for you to choose from. Deals are claimed at the posted price.

  3. 3

    Meet and hand over

    Chat to sort out the details. Once a claim is accepted, you get the exact pickup spot, and it's a short walk away.

Three ways to share

Pick whichever fits what you've got.

Donate

Give away what you don't need.

Extra rice, outgrown clothes, a spare fan. Post it, and the first neighbor to claim it gets it. No money involved.

Barter

Swap what you have for what you need.

Neighbors offer an item of their own, with a photo. You look through the offers and pick the one you like.

Deals

Sell things at a friendly price.

Post something at a discount. Whoever claims it pays you in person at pickup. Ugyon never handles any money.

Your address stays yours

Everyone browsing sees only an area about 50 meters wide, never your exact pin. The precise pickup spot is shared only with the person whose claim you accept.

  • Sign in with just your phone number. No email or password to manage.
  • Arrange the handover in the app's built-in chat: what to bring, when, and where to meet.
  • Pay in person for deals. There are no online payments to worry about.
