How it works

Four moves to your first trade

01

Vault It

Snap a photo of something you have, a skill you can teach or a job you can do. Say what you'd take for it.

02

Make an offer

See something nearby you want? Offer one of your own vaults and add a message.

03

Trade local

Accept the offer, meet up in your neighborhood and swap.

04

Close it out

Both sides confirm the trade is done, then rate each other. Your track record follows you.

What's in the beta

Everything you need to trade on day one

The beta keeps it tight. These are the features beta vaulters get when we open the doors.

Vault It

In beta

Post an item, skill or service with a photo, a short description and what you want in return.

Neighborhood feed

In beta

A live feed of vaults near you, each showing how far away it is and how recently it was posted.

Offers

In beta

Pick one of your vaults to offer for theirs, add a note and send. Every offer shows what they want and what you're giving.

Offer inbox

In beta

Accept or decline offers you receive, track the ones you sent, and see active and completed trades on separate tabs.

Two-sided completion

In beta

A trade only counts when both people mark it complete. That keeps everyone's trade count honest.

Vault Score

In beta

After each completed trade, both sides leave a 1 to 5 star rating. It builds into a trust score anyone can see before they trade with you.

Vaulter profile

In beta

Your name, handle and bio, plus trades completed, rating and member-since date. New members show an honest blank, never made-up numbers.

ID Verified badge

In beta

Beta members can earn a gold ID Verified pill on their profile so neighbors know who they're meeting.

Built on trust

Know who you're trading with

Real track records

Trade counts and ratings come only from completed, two-sided trades.

Report and block

Coming before public launch: flag a listing or a member, and block anyone you don't want to hear from again.

Your data, your call

Delete your account from your profile at any time. Your listings and offers go with it.

Meet like a neighbor

Trade in public places during the day, and bring a friend for bigger swaps.

Trading is always free.

No listing fees, no cut of your trade, no in-app currency. You trade what you have for what you need.

For local businesses

  • A flat monthly price. No bidding and no surprises. Ask us for founding-partner rates.

Where we're opening

One neighborhood at a time

Trading works best when the people near you are on it too, so VAULTER opens city by city instead of everywhere at once.

Spring 2027

Downtown Erie

The first beta. Founding vaulters help shape the app.

Fall 2027

Pittsburgh

Second city, starting with one dense neighborhood.

Next

Philadelphia

Bella Vista, East Passyunk and Graduate Hospital first.

Later

Nationwide

A neighborhood playbook that works anywhere.

Join the beta

Get in before the vault opens

Beta spots go to people in the launch neighborhood first. Leave your email and we'll let you know when your invite is ready.
