Everything you need already exists right around the corner
A drill, a raclette grill, a tent, a bike trailer… your neighbours already own them. LaPioche connects you through trusted circles to borrow, lend, rent or give — and get to know your neighbourhood along the way.

In practice
What does LaPioche look like day to day?
The Saturday-morning shelf
Two holes to drill, that’s all. Instead of buying an 89-franc drill, you borrow one three streets away — returned the same evening.
Saved: CHF 89
The last-minute raclette
Twelve guests tomorrow, no raclette grill. In your neighbourhood circle there are three. One message and it’s sorted.
Found in 5 minutes
Why share
Good for you, your neighbourhood and the planet
Your wallet breathes
The average drill is used for 13 minutes in its entire life. Borrowing instead of buying saves you hundreds of francs a year — and clears out your garage.
Your neighbourhood comes alive
Every shared item is an encounter. Behind every loan there’s a coffee, a helping hand, a neighbour who becomes a friend.
Quick and simple
Up and running in two minutes, literally
No endless forms. One photo is enough to get started.
Photograph your items
Take a photo and the AI does the rest: title, description, category. Your inventory builds itself.
Open your circle
Invite your family, friends, building or village. You decide who sees what, circle by circle.
Share and enjoy
Lend, borrow, rent, sell or give. Every exchange is recorded — everyone knows who has what.
Built for trust
Your items, your rules
Sharing starts with trust. LaPioche is built around that idea.
Circles, not a public square
Your items are only visible to the circles you choose: family, friends, building, village. Nothing goes public without your say-so.
Faces, not pseudonyms
Every member has a real profile. You always know who you’re lending to — and often, you already know them.
Free. For real.
The heart of LaPioche is free forever: trusted circles, unlimited lending and borrowing, commission-free sales. And if you want to support the project, there’s the Community plan — out of choice, never out of necessity.
