- Nairobi residents giving or seeking usable household goods
- Worth noticing
- Listings block phone numbers, while server-side claim limits and no-show pauses are part of the fairness rules.
Field notes
The homepage shows the handoff as a local exchange rather than a delivery marketplace: the two people set a time in chat and handle transport themselves. It describes server-side claim limits, pauses after no-shows, and a ban on phone numbers in listings; it also says users can export or delete their account data. The Android listing specifies version 1.3.5, Android 7+ support, and a 22 MB download.
