Your neighborhood
A neighbor
can do that.
Post a small neighborhood task — paid, for coffee, as a favor, or a swap — and get help from neighbors nearby, a few doors down. Free, no fees — just neighbors helping neighbors.
Ask, or lend a hand. Same app, either way.
There's no “customer” and no “worker” here — anyone can post, anyone can help. Here's the loop from the moment you need something.
Post a task
Describe the small thing you need, pick how you'll say thanks, and say when. Two minutes.
Neighbors raise a hand
Neighbors nearby see it. Anyone who can help taps “I'm interested” — no bidding, no rush.
You pick someone
See who's interested, look over their ratings, and choose. Now you swap names and faces.
It gets done
Coordinate in chat, meet up, done. You both leave a rating — and your reputation in the neighborhood grows.
However you'd like to give back.
Every task names one. None of it runs through Palandy — money or thanks goes straight between neighbors.
Paid
Name a fair price, paid directly. No commission, no markup.
“$30 — walk my dog while I'm at the dentist”
Coffee
A small thanks in a cup. For the quick, kind favors.
“Help carry a stroller up to the 3rd floor”
Volunteer
A neighborly favor, freely given. Just because.
“Reading buddy for my 8-year-old, Tue & Thu”
Barter
Swap a skill for a skill. Everyone's good at something.
“Sourdough starter for help with a leaky faucet”
Names and faces, only when you both say yes.
Until you match, neighbors see a first name and last initial — never your location, your number, or a pin on your door. Privacy isn't a setting here. It's how the whole thing is built.
You decide who to trust. Palandy doesn't vet or vouch for anyone — you see each neighbor's ratings and choose for yourself.
Identity reveal at match. More details unlock only after you both choose each other — and never your exact location unless you share it in chat.
Honest ratings. We won't show a star average until there's enough to mean something. New neighbors are simply new — not low-rated.
Questions neighbors ask
Is Palandy free?
Yes. Free to join, no fees or commissions; any thanks (payment, coffee, favor, or skill swap) goes straight between neighbors.
How does Palandy protect my privacy?
Until you and a neighbor both choose each other, others see only your first name and last initial — never your address, phone, or exact location.
How do I thank a neighbor who helps?
Each task names one of four ways: a fair price paid directly, a coffee, a freely given favor, or a skill swap (barter).
Who can use Palandy?
Neighbors 18+ nearby. Anyone can post a task or raise a hand — no "customer," no "worker."
How do I get help with a task?
Post the small thing you need, neighbors nearby raise a hand, you pick someone you trust, and coordinate in chat.
