needitBY™ · iOS app · now on the App Store

A service marketplace built around a hard deadline.

Post what you need and when you need it by. Or browse work near you and offer on what you can deliver. Either way, the deadline is the point.

Needs cluster by ZIP code, so you can see where the work is without anyone’s address being exposed. An area. Not a street.

If you’re posting

Say when. Then choose who.

01 — Post it

Ten ways to say when.

From “Emergency, needed in two hours” to “No Hurry, sometime in the next three months.” Pick the tier that matches, and providers self-filter before they ever see it.

02 — Track it

Know where everything stands.

Every need you’ve posted, in one list, with its stage and time remaining on the card. Active, complete, expired and cancelled, filtered at the top.

03 — Follow it through

Posted, offered on, chosen, done.

A timeline from the moment you post to the moment you confirm the work. You always know whose move it is.

If you’re providing

Offer on work you can actually deliver.

04 — Make an offer

Commit before you offer.

Providers confirm they can meet the deadline as part of the offer. Not a preference — a commitment, on the record.

05 — Win the job

Then get to work.

Selected providers get notified straight away, with the deadline and the details in one place.

06 — The Hub

Both sides, one screen.

What you’ve posted, what you’ve offered on, what needs your attention today.

Straight answers

What we don’t do.

We don’t take a cut.

No fees, no commission, no escrow. You arrange payment directly with the person you choose.

We don’t show your street address.

Needs carry a ZIP code only. If you want someone to have your address, you send it yourself — after you’ve picked them.

We don’t verify licences or insurance.

Providers tell you their experience, licensing, and insurance, and we show you what they said. Those are claims, not credentials we’ve checked. Optional ID verification confirms who someone is — nothing more.

What you can post

Almost anything someone nearby can help with.

Cleaning · Tutoring · Errands · Repairs · Moving help · Pet care · Tech support · Yard work · Cooking · Lessons · Tasks you’d rather not do · … and on.
