Lendly is a community-driven sharing and micro-rental platform that enables neighbors to lend, borrow, or rent items and favors. It is designed to promote sustainability, reduce unnecessary purchases, and foster trust within local communities.
Many people buy items they rarely use—like drills, projectors, or extra chairs—while others in the same neighborhood might need them temporarily. Lendly bridges this gap by creating local exchange system where: Everyday items or favors can be shared for free using a credit/points system. Valuable resources can be rented for a small fee.
