needitBY™ — Get things done. On time.
Most service apps ask what you need. needitBY asks when.
Every request you post carries a hard deadline — your needitBY™ deadline. Providers see the clock before they respond, and they commit to your date before they can make an offer. No "I'll get back to you." No chasing quotes for a job that had to happen Friday.
HOW IT WORKS
Post what you need, set your budget, and choose your urgency — Emergency (2 hours) through No Hurry. Nearby providers see your request on a live map, grouped by ZIP code. Offers come to you. You review each one, message anyone you're unsure about, and pick the provider you want.
BUILT AROUND THE CLOCK
Every listing shows the time remaining. Urgency tiers let you say how fast you actually need it, and let providers self-filter to work they can deliver. Expired requests drop off automatically, so nothing you see is stale.
YOUR ADDRESS IS YOURS
Requests carry a ZIP code, not a street address. The map shows areas, not homes. Your exact address is exchanged only with a provider you've agreed to work with — and only if you choose to share it. Messaging happens in the app, so you never have to hand out your phone number.
Every photo uploaded to needitBY is automatically screened for inappropriate content before it appears. You can block any user, which stops them contacting you, seeing your listings, or making offers on your requests. And you can report anything that doesn't look right.
FOR PROVIDERS
Browse needs near you on the map or in a list, filtered by category, distance, and deadline. Make an offer with your price, your timeline, and a note about your experience. Track every job from offer to accepted to complete, with the deadline in front of you the whole way.
WHAT WE VERIFY — AND WHAT WE DON'T
We offer optional identity verification. We do not verify professional licenses, insurance, or qualifications — those are stated by providers and shown as their claims, not facts we've checked. Ask for documentation and confirm it with the issuing authority before hiring for anything that requires it.
FREE TO POST. FREE TO OFFER.
needitBY is a marketplace connecting people who need work done with people who can do it. Payment arrangements are made directly between users.
What's New in 1.2.0
Message notifications. You'll now get a notification when someone messages you, with an unread count on the app icon.
Photo fixes. The camera in messages now opens full screen instead of being cut off, and photos added to a need keep their full frame — portrait shots were being cropped square, and the preview showed a tighter crop than what actually got posted.
Finding providers is easier. Search by ZIP code or city, filter by one or more categories, and see providers within 50 miles sorted by distance.
