GotUnow, a local, neighborhood help app designed to make everyday support simple, safe, and close to home.

GotUnow is a local, neighborhood help app designed to make everyday support simple, safe, and close to home. Instead of posting to a wide public audience, GotU keeps things intentionally small by connecting you with people in your same ZIP code—so you’re sharing help within a nearby circle of neighbors who are more likely to be familiar and trusted.

Ask for help when you need it

Have a quick errand you can’t get to today? Need someone to grab a grocery pickup, bring in a package, or help move something small? With GotU, you can post a task in seconds with a clear title, description, and category. Your task shows up only for people in your ZIP code, making it easier to find someone nearby who can step in.

Offer help when you can

GotU isn’t just for asking—it’s also for giving. When you have a few minutes, you can browse local requests and volunteer to help. You can send an offer with a message and optional ETA, and the requester can accept the offer that works best for them.

Volunteer or add optional compensation

Some tasks are simple favors, and others may deserve a little thank-you. GotU supports both:

Volunteer tasks for neighbors who just want to help

Paid tasks where the requester can include a monetary amount for the helper’s time

Built for quick, time-sensitive errands

GotU tasks are meant to be short and timely—things that can realistically be completed soon. That’s why tasks have a 24-hour shelf life. This keeps the feed fresh and focused on immediate needs, so you don’t have to message multiple neighbors or group chats to find someone available. Post once, and let the right neighbor respond.

A calmer, more personal way to connect locally

GotUnow is built around the idea that communities work best when support is nearby and approachable. Whether you’re a busy parent, an older adult who needs occasional assistance, or someone who simply wants to lend a hand, GotU helps make those small moments of kindness easier to coordinate—right where you live.
