Roadmap

Features we’re actively building, planning next, and have recently completed.

In progress now

We’re working on these features right now.

Simplified item logging

A faster, lighter way to add items, making it easier to start tracking what you share with less friction.

Set a return or pickup date

Give shared items a clearer timeline by setting when they’re expected back or picked up, helping everyone stay on the same page.

Set and receive reminders

Choose when you want a reminder, and get a gentle nudge when it’s time to follow up, return something, or check in—without having to keep it all in your head.

Add a return note / appreciation

Send a quick thank-you, update, or note when returning something, so shared items come back with a little more clarity, care, and connection.

Up next

These are the features planned for the next phase, ordered by priority.

Group features

New tools for sharing within households, friend groups, teams, and communities, with better visibility into what’s shared, who has what, and how things move.

Subscriptions

Subscription support for groups, designed to help sustain shared use over time and support the long-term growth of Community Gearbox.

Add a co-owner

Mark an item as shared between multiple people, so ownership is clearer and it’s easier to reflect how things are actually held in real life.

Recently completed

These features are already live in Community Gearbox.

Seed Items

Gentle reminders for shared items, so it’s easier to follow up, return things, and keep sharing moving without having to remember it all yourself.
