- Vouches: "Would you work with them again?"
60 Seconds to Help
Post Task
What, when, where, how much. Category, time window, compensation mode. Done in 60 seconds.
Receive Quotes
Helpers send structured quotes—price, timing, plan, what's included. You see 3–5 cards at a time, not a bid table.
Book
Pick based on trust + timing, not just price. Address shared only after booking. Work happens.
Vouch
Both parties answer one question: "Would you work with them again?" Trust compounds over time.
4 Ways to Pay
Paid
Budget range in CAD. Platform takes 5–10%. The default.
Credits
Earn by helping. Spend by requesting. Community reciprocity.
Trade
"I'll fix your bike if you help with my resume."
Pay-It-Forward
Goodwill. Quick favors. Community spirit.
Circles
Sometimes you only want help from people you know.
- Your apartment building
- Parents from school
- Your block or street
- Coworkers nearby
Circle-first posting: Task goes to your circle. If no response in 24h, expands to neighborhood automatically.
