BorrowingOwl, an app that builds a community of people with things that can be used and reused to their best and fullest potential. Providing access by eliminating excess.
You can be part of a community that utilizes everyone’s things in a full circle of giving and receiving. Feel like sharing all your neat things that you don’t use often enough...or at all? BorrowingOwl allows users to share things they already own to interested people in their community. Do you have a guitar that is sitting in your room collecting dust? You can let a nearby neighbor borrow that guitar, allow them an opportunity to learn a new skill, free up some space, AND get it back when you need it.
Want to do some cleaning and clearing of your shelves, drawers, closets? You no longer have to feel guilty about the stuff you own, but don’t use very often. Simply post an ad on BorrowingOwl and let someone else benefit from it! Collecting things can be fun, but oftentimes we find that our lives and minds get filled so quickly with things we no longer use or need. Getting rid of stuff is hard, especially if it has value to you. There are tons of ways to donate your things, give your things away, or sell your things. While all of those options are perfectly fine, BorrowingOwl is an option for the “in between” circumstances. If you are a Jill or Jack of all trades, this app is for you. There is no need to say goodbye to things forever, and there is no need to buy everything you ever want to try. There are so many opportunities right in your own backyard --- or pretty close!
BorrowingOwl is an eco-friendly, safe, fun, sustainable alternative to giving abandoned objects in your home a new life or purpose. For people who have things that are awesome, but no longer have the time to enjoy them. If you are like most people, you’re probably interested in more than one thing, and more than one thing at a time. This borrowing system enables people who have cool things that aren’t being used at the moment to share those cool things with people who will use them at that moment.
BorrowingOwl also allows users the option to part with their things permanently. There may be a time that you share something with a borrower and realize you are just so happy that it’s being used and loved the way it was intended to be! Easily chat with each borrower in a private message and you can make that exchange, give your thing a permanent loving home.
BorrowingOwl is intended for anyone and everyone to use. No matter if your things are common, everyday objects - meant for practical use...Or if your things are rare, extraordinary finds - meant for hobbies and talents. You can essentially share and borrow anything. BorrowingOwl is a feel-good solution for everyone and every thing under the sun.
