Your shelf is too good to keep to yourself

Loan Stoat is a delightfully nosy little app for sharing books, records, movies, and games with the people around you. Your shelf starts the conversation.

More than a catalog

Other apps help you track what you own. Loan Stoat helps you do something with it.

Show Off Your Shelf

Catalog your books, vinyl, DVDs, and board games. Then peek at what your friends and neighbors have been hiding. It's not snooping if they invited you.

Pass It Along

Lending a book starts a conversation. Borrowing one builds a bond. Every exchange is a tiny act of trust between two humans.

Get the Gang Together

Book clubs, movie nights, game nights — your shelf is the excuse. The people are the point.

How it works

Three steps from solitary shelf to thriving community.

1

Stock Your Den

Add what you own. Scan a barcode or type it in. We're not picky.

2

Be Nosy

Browse nearby shelves. Find the person who owns that album you've been hunting for years.

3

Make It Happen

Lend, borrow, or rally the crew for a movie night. Repeat until you know everyone on your block.

Everything on your shelf

If it can be lent, shared, or enjoyed together, it belongs here.

Books

Novels, nonfiction, cookbooks, graphic novels

Music

Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, box sets

Video

DVDs, Blu-rays, box sets, criterion collection

Board Games

Strategy, party, co-op, classics
