Features we’re actively building, planning next, and have recently completed.
We’re working on these features right now.
Give trusted members shared tools to welcome people, manage items, support exchanges, and help care for the community together.
Invite members to share what they already have, what they hope to borrow, and what would make the group useful—so you can build a collection around real needs and interests.
Let people reserve an item ahead of time or mark dates when it is unavailable, so everyone can plan around it with fewer scheduling surprises.
These are the features planned for the next phase, ordered by priority.
Subscription support for groups, designed to help sustain shared use over time and support the long-term growth of Community Gearbox.
Organize sharing around an event by collecting needed items, coordinating who is bringing what, and keeping pickups, returns, and updates in one place.
Make it easier to discover the knowledge, tools, and help already within your community—from repair know-how to useful equipment and supplies.
Create a simple way to flag items that need care, coordinate repairs, and collect shared contributions so well-loved things can stay in use longer.
These features are already live in Community Gearbox.
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.
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.

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