Everything you need to share smarter

Lend to the people you know, share with the groups you are in, and keep track of all of it.

🏘️

Groups

Make one for your family, your street, your book club or your church. Share a six-character code to let people in. Tick a group on something you own and only that group can see it.

👥

Only people you know

Mooch is not a marketplace full of strangers. You connect with people you actually know, and your things stay private to the circles you choose.

📦

Your things, catalogued

Tools, books, camping gear, kitchen gadgets, the pressure washer you use twice a year. Photograph it once and your friends can see what you are happy to lend.

💬

Messages and group chat

Ask for something in one tap, then sort out the handoff in the app. Friends, family and general groups get a room everyone can post to.

🏷️

Lend it, give it away, or sell it

Not everything is a loan. Mark something free for a friend to claim, or put a price on it — all in the same list.

🔔

Never lose track

See who has what and when it is due back. Both sides confirm a handoff, so there is a shared record rather than one person's memory.

🚪

Sorted by room

Your things — and your friends' — group into Closet, Library and Garage, so finding a drill does not mean scrolling past forty paperbacks.

👕

Clothes and hand-me-downs

Kids outgrow things long before they wear out. Clothes group by who wears them and what size, with proper kids' and shoe sizes, and you can mark something as yours to keep rather than to give back.

📣

Size alerts

Save the sizes your household wears and Mooch tells you when a friend lists one.

Start sharing in 3 simple steps

Get up and running in less than 5 minutes.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about Mooch

Yes! Mooch is completely free to download and use. We believe sharing should be accessible to everyone. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or premium tiers.
Mooch includes built-in tracking and reminder systems. You can see who has your items at any time and send return reminders with one tap. Plus, since you only share with friends you trust, this rarely happens. The social accountability of real friendships is powerful!
The Moochers you have personally connected with, and any group you tick when you list something. Nobody else. There is no public feed and no way to browse strangers’ things. You can also share an item with a group only, so your wider circle never sees it.
A group is a small circle inside Mooch — your family, your street, a book club, a church. You make one and share a six-character code; there is no directory and no search, so if somebody was not given the code they cannot find the group. Tick a group on something you own and only that group can see it.
Being in a group does not give anyone access to your things — you choose, item by item, what a group can see. You can block somebody quietly without leaving, which stops you both seeing each other’s things, and you can report a member to the group’s admins. Neighborhood and organisation groups have no chat at all, on purpose.
Yes. Put a price on something and it sits alongside the things you lend and give away. Mooch does not handle the money — you arrange that between yourselves, the way you would with a neighbour.
Any Moocher can message you to arrange a handoff, because that is what messaging is for. If you would rather, you can limit messages to people you are connected to, and you can block anyone.
Almost anything! Popular categories include tools, camping and outdoor gear, kitchen appliances, books, sporting equipment, party supplies, electronics, games, and more. If it's something you'd lend to a friend, it belongs on Mooch.
Unlike rental services, Mooch is completely free—you're sharing with friends, not strangers. Unlike Buy Nothing or Facebook groups, Mooch is purpose-built for lending with proper tracking, reminders, and inventory management. It's the organization your friend group needs.
