What is CareSwap?

A simple way for friends to exchange help and make life a little easier for each other.

You post when you need help. We notify your people. Someone in your circle says yes. That's it.

Not a babysitting service.

No strangers, no sitters for hire. You bring the people you already trust.

Is it private or public?

Entirely private. We put layers of control in your hands.

You choose your circle.

Every connection requires a yes from both people.

You choose who sees each post.

Everyone in your circle, or just a few specific people.

Remove anyone, anytime.

We don't notify them, you both just stop seeing each other in the app. There's no guilt in keeping a tight circle.

What does it cost?

Nothing right now. CareSwap is free while we find out whether it's useful to communities like yours.

If we ever need to charge to keep it running, we'll tell you before anything changes, and you can decide then. If you only ever give care, you'll never be asked to pay.

Is this for me?

If any of these sound like you, then yes:

  • You have people you trust, but asking is hard.
  • You know someone who needs help, but they'd never ask.
  • You believe people should care for each other, but someone has to organize it.

No one likes to ask for help. CareSwap lets you put a need out to your whole circle at once, so no single person carries the weight of being asked.
