How it works

1

Post what you have

A book, a bike, a few hours of guitar lessons. Snap a photo, write what you're hoping to trade it for.

2

Browse what's nearby

Swipe through listings in your area. Like the ones that catch your eye, pass on the rest.

3

Match and meet

When you both like each other's stuff, that's a match. Chat in the app, meet up, make the trade.

What makes Knot different

Most apps want your attention so they can sell it. Knot just wants to help you trade.

No money changes hands

Knot is for barter, period. No payments, no markup, no shipping fees. Just people trading directly.

No ads, no tracking

We don't sell your data. We don't run ads. The recommendation feed only uses what you like and pass on inside the app.

Community-funded

Knot is a non-profit project funded by annual donations from the people who use it. If we don't hit our fund goal, the app goes dark until we do.

Built for staying nearby

Everything you see is within walking or biking distance. Trades happen in person, between actual neighbors.
