Free web app — iOS & Android coming soonGive your things to the people you care about.
Share with your world, not the world.
PassItOwn is a free, private way to pass on things you no longer need to family, friends and neighbors. List an item in 60 seconds, choose exactly who can see it, and let them claim it — no strangers, no haggling, no ads.
Works in your browser — no download needed. Sign in with Google or email.
How It Works
Three steps — that's it.
Post an item
Add a photo, a title and a little of its story. Takes about 60 seconds.
Choose who sees it
Share it with your Family, Friends, Neighbors or any group you create — nobody else.
They claim it
Someone you trust claims it, and you arrange the pickup in a private chat. Done.
Everything You Need to Pass Things On
Simple tools for giving things to the people in your life.
Private groups
Sort friends into groups like Family, Neighbors or Book Club. Only you see your groups — members never see the group names.
You choose who sees each item
Every listing is shared only with the groups you pick, so the baby crib goes to family and the garden tools go to neighbors.
First come, or you choose
Let the first person claim it, or switch to "Interested" mode and pick who receives it.
Private pickup chat
Claiming opens a private message thread to arrange pickup — no need to share your phone number or email.
Gatherings
At a reunion, party or neighborhood event? Start a Gathering to add everyone there as friends at once.
Friend codes
Add friends with a personal code or QR code. Requests need approval, so only people you accept can join you.
Sharing Is Better in Groups.
Three groups are ready when you sign up — rename them, add your own, and decide who sees what.
Family
Baby cribs, family heirlooms and kids' clothes.
Friends
Camping gear, tech gadgets and hobby supplies.
Church
Passing on what you have to those in need.
Neighbors
Garden tools, kitchen appliances and home goods.
Your Stuff, Not Social Media's Data
Passing things on should be about people, not algorithms.
We don't sell your data or fill your feed with ads, and within the app your listings are seen only by the people you choose.
Just simple, honest sharing between people who trust each other.
Privacy First
Your data is never for sale. Period.
Some Items Carry Stories, Not Just Utility.
The crib your little one outgrew, the dress from your first dance, the tools that built your first home — these aren’t just "stuff." They’re pieces of your life.
PassItOwn helps those stories continue with people who will cherish them as much as you did.
"A grandmother’s teapot, passed to a young couple starting their first home. Still in the neighborhood."
Built on trust, not transactions
