For homeowners and renters: rent, trade, or lend idle items.
Torkd is a peer-to-peer marketplace where you can earn extra income from idle items or rent what you need from neighbors — without buying.
Free to list. No expiring listings. No haggling.
List in minutes, hand the item to a neighbor, and get paid through Stripe. Make a side income from what you already own without turning one idle item into another job. Renting costs a fraction of buying.

Why Torkd exists
Too many useful things sit idle while a neighbor buys the same thing for a one-time job. Our mission is to help people earn from what they already own and rent what they need—so fewer things get bought to be used once.

Who Torkd is for
Torkd is for people with idle items who want to earn from them, and people who'd rather rent or borrow than buy. It's not for commercial equipment rentals or long-term leases.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to rent from a stranger on Torkd?
Yes. Members verify their identity, payments and payouts run through Stripe, and every rental gets a refundable security deposit. You coordinate pickup and return in the app without sharing your contact info, and both sides review each other after the rental.
What happens if an item is damaged or not returned?
Refundable security deposits are held safely and returned when the item comes back. If something goes wrong, the owner can file a return report and request a partial or full deposit claim, and our team helps resolve it.
Do I have to share my phone number or email?
No. You message renters and owners inside Torkd to coordinate pickup, return, and details, so your contact info stays private.
How do I get paid when someone rents my item?
Owners connect a Stripe account and receive payouts directly. Torkd handles the checkout and security deposit, then pays you out through Stripe.
Is Torkd for commercial equipment rentals or long-term leases?
No. Torkd is for people with idle personal items who want to earn from them, and people who'd rather rent or borrow than buy. It's not for commercial equipment rentals or long-term leases.
