Released: February 13th, 2026

We rebuilt Community Gearbox from the ground up and refocused it on the core basics.

In this release:

• Add items and keep track of who has them
• Mark items as lent, borrowed, or with someone you trust
• Check item status later so you don’t have to remember
• Faster, more stable foundation for future updates
• In-app feedback to help shape what we build next

This is a pared-back version focused on making sharing simpler and easier to keep track of.
