Cubby

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might wonder about Cubby.

What is Cubby?+

Cubby is a simple app for tracking where your tools are stored and who borrowed them. Add your tools, the places they live, and the friends you lend to — and always know where everything is.

Is Cubby free?+

Cubby is free to use during early access. If paid features are ever introduced, we'll make that clear well in advance.

Do my friends need the app to borrow a tool?+

Yes. Lending and borrowing happen between Cubby accounts, so a friend needs the app and an account to receive a tool.

Does Cubby work offline?+

Yes. Your inventory is stored on your device, so you can browse and make changes offline. Everything syncs automatically once you reconnect.

Who can see my tools?+

Only you, by default. A tool becomes visible to a friend only when you mark it lendable and that person is an approved friend.

What happens to lent tools if I delete my account?+

Tools you've lent are marked as “owner left” for the borrower, who can choose to keep them. After a short grace period the records are removed.

Which platforms are supported?+

Cubby runs on Android today, with more platforms planned.
