Your daily lending hub
Time-of-day greeting, what's going out, what's coming back, and the requests that just need a tap.
Coming soon · iOS & Android · DACH-first
Borrow from your people. Not from strangers.
OURS is the lending app for the friends, neighbours and WG-mates you already trust. Add what you have. See what they have. The drill comes home — and the circle gets stronger every loop.

Anna asked about your tent.
Drill · home by Sunday
Tent · with Tom for the long weekend
This week
3 things
not bought
Twenty-three apartments on one staircase. Probably nineteen drills. A fondue set that comes out in December, if at all. A tent that has seen one festival and three apartments.
How a loan works
Three steps. Real people. No public listings.
- 01
Add what you have
The drill in the kitchen drawer. The fondue set on the top shelf. The tent that goes camping once a year. Whatever you'd lend a friend, add it. You decide who can see it.
- 02
See what they have
Browse what your friends, neighbours and WG-mates are willing to lend. Send a polite request with a return date that works for both of you.
- 03
Hand off, return, repeat
Coordinate pickup in a quiet thread. When the item comes home, you both confirm — and the circle gets a little stronger every loop.
What's inside
The things you'd lend a friend, in one place you trust.
Four tabs, one circle. Built for the people you'd already say yes to.
Items
Mine vs. friends
Two views, one tab: what you own, and what your friends are willing to lend. Filter by category, search by name.
People
Inbox + your circle
Open threads, replies to your asks, contact requests — all in one quiet place. Accept or decline inline.
Profile
Your impact card
Avatar, level, badges, and the real-world numbers: kilos of CO₂ saved, euros not spent, things kept out of the bin.
Asks
"Does anyone have…"
Post a quick ask — a tent for the weekend, a baby seat for a friend's visit. Your circle replies with what they have.
Trust
Your circle, by invitation only
No public listings. No strangers. Only the people you've added — and the people they've added when you say so.
Not what you think
OURS is not the thing it sounds like.
Not a shop
A circle, by invitation.
Not a rental app
A lending app between people who already know each other.
Not a neighbourhood feed
A quiet inbox of real things going out and coming home.
Not a social network
Your address book, with a borrow button.
Not free-for-all
Invitation-only. The circle decides.
Not a checkout
A handoff, a chat, a return.

Naming the absurdity beats naming a competitor.
The math
Every borrow is a thing not bought.
OURS makes the math visible. Every completed loan credits both of you — borrower and lender — with the carbon and the cost you kept out of the system.
~3.2 kg
CO₂ saved per electronics loan
Average across our category models
85%
of household tools sit unused
Lending is the cheapest carbon win

What it feels like
Three small moments, on purpose.
Sunday tally
This week: the drill went out, the tent went camping, the cookbook found a kitchen. Three things not bought.
Anniversary
One year ago today, you lent your tent to Anna. It has been to four trips since.
Return confirmed
Both of you tap. The wax seal closes. The circle nods.
Quiet progress
A skill that compounds — without leaderboards or streaks.
Levels never go down. There's no ranking against your friends. Just a quiet record of what your circle has done together.
