How it works.

Cirklr makes it easy to share and borrow items within your neighborhood or housing community. Here's how it works.

1. Create an account

Get started effortlessly. All you need is an email and a phone number to join Cirklr and begin exploring your local sharing community.

2. Join or Start a Circle

Connect with your existing community — or create a new one.

Find a circle that matches where you live, like your housing association or neighborhood. Don't see one? You can easily create your own and invite people you trust to join.

3. Share or Borrow Items

List items you're happy to lend, or request something you need.

From tools to garden gear or materials, Cirklr makes it easy to share what you have — and borrow what you don't. Everything stays within your trusted circle.

4. Tips for a Great Sharing Experience

✓ Build trust by writing clear item descriptions and replying promptly.

✓ Keep it friendly — good communication makes sharing smoother.

✓ Grow your circle by inviting friends, neighbors, or people you already trust.

✓ Give back — borrowing is great, but offering an item makes the platform thrive.

Simple and Symbolic Pricing

Designed to stay accessible for everyone, while supporting the platform's sustainability.

Cirklr is free for small groups and communities. Our symbolic Premium plan costs about the same as a takeaway coffee and helps cover essential operating costs, support future development, and keep the platform ad-free, independent, and community-driven.

Safety & Trust

At Cirklr, we believe that trust is the foundation of successful sharing — and that's why everything happens within closed circles. You're not borrowing from strangers across town; you're connecting with people in your own community, whether that's your housing group, neighborhood, or another trusted network.

Transparent Item Listings

Every item includes descriptions and photos, so you know exactly what to expect before borrowing. This clarity builds confidence and sets clear expectations for both sides.

Respectful Communication

Users are encouraged to communicate clearly, agree on pickup/return times, and treat items with care. Cirklr promotes a culture of kindness, where helping each other is the norm — not the exception.

You're In Control

You decide what to share, with whom, and when. If you're not comfortable lending an item, you''re under no obligation to do so.

Built for Community, Not Commerce

Cirklr isn't a marketplace — it's a platform designed for generosity and mutual support. That spirit helps keep things friendly, fair, and low-stress.

Sharing works best when people act with trust and integrity. Cirklr gives you the structure, but it's the community that brings it to life.
