Usage is completely free for all community members. We are funded through voluntary donations and public grants. There are no hidden fees or premium access options.

All contributions and project descriptions are reviewed by a volunteer editorial team before publication. Additionally, users can report content that violates our guidelines. This keeps the platform trustworthy and factual.

Yes, we regularly offer free introductory workshops at the community library. There you will learn the basic functions of the platform. Telephone support is also available during opening hours.

Voices from the Community

What Our Neighbors Say

Prof. Günther Ziegler MBA.

Project Manager, Citizens' Association

„The digital platform has completely transformed our neighborhood assistance. Instead of notes on the bulletin board, everything now runs centrally through the app – from grocery shopping help to childcare. The moderation prevents misuse, and people trust each other more.“

Organization

Johann Neuner

Founder, Community Garden

„With the step-by-step guide and the scheduling app, we realized our community garden in just three months. The checklists and funding contacts were worth their weight in gold. Now the whole neighborhood is blooming.“

Project

Manfred Unterberger

Participant, Digital Workshop

„I was very afraid of the smartphone. The volunteer coaches patiently showed me how to video call with my daughter. After four weeks, I can even do online banking. It has really made my life easier.“

Participation

Nicolas Petz

Coordinator, Neighborhood Help

„The categories for grocery shopping help, pet care, and childcare are exactly what we needed. The moderated chat function builds trust – nobody gets cheated. Since the launch, the offers of help have doubled.“

Digital

Prof. Günther Ziegler MBA.

Project Manager, Citizens' Association

„The workshops for seniors are a great success. The materials have been adapted for visual and hearing impairments, and the coaches accompany participants over several weeks. The initial fears disappear quickly.“

Social

Johann Neuner

Founder, Community Garden

„The material ordering app has saved us a lot of time. Everyone can see what is needed and sign up. The team cohesion has become even stronger as a result. Next year we want to expand the garden.“
