A tour of
the app.

A guided look at what ToolBud will feel like to use — how you'll borrow, lend, plan a project, ask for help, and find used gear in your community.

ToolShed Market

The heart of ToolBud — one place to Borrow, Lend, Buy, or Sell tools with your neighbors. Borrowing and lending are free and trust-based; buying and selling move used tools directly between neighbors. Find what you need with someone you actually share a sidewalk with.

ToolShed Market
Four equal paths in one place: Borrow, Lend, Buy, and Sell tools with your community.

Your tool life: MyToolBox

A personal inventory that's actually pleasant to keep up. Snap a photo and ToolBud identifies the tool. Import a receipt and your toolbox builds itself. Ready to lend the second you are.

MyToolBox
Your personal tool inventory — own, lend, and (when it makes sense) list used tools for sale.

Projects & Bud

Talk through what you're trying to fix, build, or finish. Bud helps you get from "I think I need a thing" to a clear plan with the right tools queued up.

Community

Friends-first by design. Communities and friend connections keep sharing local, and every connection starts with someone you (or your circle) already know. The neighborhood is the network.

Friends
Connect with neighbors you know and trust. Build your circle from the inside out.

Buying & Selling

The ownership-transfer side of ToolShed Market. Sometimes buying makes more sense than borrowing — browse used tools neighbors have listed, or sell the ones you no longer need. No rental-app middleman, no checkout, no commissions.

Buy used tools
Discover used gear listed by your community, then message the owner to arrange it. Buying happens directly between neighbors.

Sell from your Seller Dashboard
List a tool and manage your active listings, sales in progress, sold history, and listing views — all in one place.
