Know the people on your block.

Yay Neighbors is a private directory for one neighborhood. Find who lives next door, borrow a ladder, and ask who the plumber everyone trusts is.

What’s inside

Directory

Every household, in one place.

Each household lists its address, phone, the people who live there, and a short note, like “dog named Biscuit” or “spare key with us.” Search by name or street. Need it on paper? Export the directory as a PDF or Word document.

The directory: households, people, and how to reach them
Shared items

Borrow it. Lend it. Give it away.

Post the things sitting in your garage: ladders, stand mixers, outgrown bikes. Add a photo, pick a category like Yard, Kitchen, or Toys, and neighbors can see who has what and where to find them.

Shared items: things neighbors lend or give away
Recommendations

The plumber everyone trusts.

Recommend contractors, home services, restaurants, and babysitters. Every recommendation shows which household made it, so you know whose word you are taking.

Recommendations: trusted services from people you know
