Scratch: Give & Get Help

Scratch: Give & Get Help

Scratch is a mutual aid app for anyone who needs a hand, or wants to give one. Post a request, rally support, and pay it forward. Whether you're helping a stranger or someone close to you, Scratch makes giving and getting help simple, direct, and human.

How It Works:
Post a request when you need help. Set a goal, share your story, and let your community step up. When someone else needs support, donate directly. No middlemen, no friction.

Open by Default:
Your default circle is public — anyone can join, and the people you invite can invite others. Your network grows naturally, and so does your reach when you need support.

Private Circles:
Want to keep things closer? Create an invite-only circle for people you trust — friends, family, neighbors, colleagues. Private circles give your inner community a dedicated space where help stays personal.

Reciprocity Score:
Scratch rewards participation. Your Reciprocity Score reflects how you show up for others. The more you give, the more you can ask for.

Direct Messaging:
Reach out to anyone in your circle directly. Coordinate, check in, say thank you all without leaving the app.

Safe & Secure Payments:
Donations are processed securely via Stripe. Payouts go straight to your bank account through verified Stripe Connect. Your financial information is never stored on our servers.

Built for Real Life:
Scratch is what happens when people actually look out for each other, strangers and friends alike. Join a circle, grow your network, and know that when you need it, help is close.
