thangs – stuffsharing with friends is an iOS and Android app which simplifies and encourages the lending and borrowing of everyday objects.

An integrated lend list helps you to keep track of the things you shared.

thangs simplifies and encourages the lending and borrowing of everyday objects between friends e.g. objects like a drill or sports equipment like a surfboard, but there are no limits. Friends means your address book contacts, the people you’ve exchanged your mobile phone number with. With thangs it is easy to ask them for a product you would like to borrow. The simple interface allows you to answer incoming requests with just one tap. No more action required to help your friends at first place. I needs just one simple tap on a yes or no button. With people who are willing to lend you the object you are looking for you can communicate afterwards about time and location of the exchange.

Because giving back things on time is always a difficult, we’ve integrated the lend list. This list helps you to keep track of all the things you’ve shared. Because there’s nothing more annoying than to run after your shared stuff.
