HOW IT WORKS

Post it. Someone taps.
You sort it out in real life.

TrustUp handles the signal. The conversation stays between you.

IT RUNS ON CIRCLES

The people you already trust.

Your block, your congregation, your co-op, your five closest friends. Circles can be private, invite-only, or open — you decide who sees what. You can be in as many as you like, and each one only sees what you post to it.

Six ways to say it.

Every post is one of six types, each with one human button — so responding never feels like applying.

Need"I have this"

An explicit ask. Something would genuinely help right now.

Want"I can help"

No urgency, no pressure. If it shows up, great.

Offer"I'm interested"

You're making something available — goods, skills, or time.

Resource"I'm interested"

Standing and shareable: the truck, the projector, the guest room.

Event"I'll attend"

A time and a place. The circle shows up.

Announcement(no button)

Something the circle should know. Nothing to respond to.

Money is one option, not the point.

Circles blend every way neighbors actually exchange — and the app keeps track of whose is whose.

Give

Free to a good home.

Lend

It comes back when they're done.

Borrow

Ask to use something for a while.

Trade

You two work out the swap.

Pay

Dollars, or a local currency if your community uses one.

Feel it out.

In about 20 seconds

One tap starts things off; the rest happens in real life. The kiosk and locker steps show what it's like when a community space has TrustUp hardware — the app alone works anywhere.

STEP 1 · YOUR PHONE

You've got something extra.

Pick one — nothing here is real, just try it.

How?

What you won't find here.

No public feed — circles only, nothing broadcast to strangers
No ratings, streaks, or scores — trust isn't gamified
No ads, no boosted posts — you can't pay to be seen more
No pressure mechanics — “care, without the pressure” applies to posting too

Start a circle with three people.
That's enough.
