I am a bee
Local member
Je rejoins la communauté neerbee et je deviens membre actif. Je peux créer des Vibees, proposer mon aide sur les Vibees existants via les commentaires, et répondre aux besoins de mon quartier.
Local mutual aid • Proximity actions
Need help? People around you can help.
Publish your request, people nearby see it, they respond. Simple as that.
Neerbee connects people nearby via Vibees: geotagged messages that alert the neighborhood. You need a helping hand? You publish, people around see your request on the map, they respond. Without intermediary, without commission, without a system that chooses what you should see.
Neerbee is not a social network. It's a tool to see what's happening near you and act locally.
- Interactive map : see requests and offers around you in real time
- Direct contact : exchange directly with the people concerned, without intermediary
- Ephemeral messages : Vibees expire automatically to keep info fresh
- Transparent and simple : no system that chooses for you, you see what's really happening near you, in order of proximity

How does neerbee work?
Two simple steps to act locally
A vibee
Local need
J'ai besoin d'aide ! Quelqu'un peut m'aider ? Je publie un Vibee géolocalisé pour exprimer mon besoin ou mon offre. Un Vibee, c'est ton message du moment (un meuble à monter, un chat perdu, une tondeuse à emprunter). Tu le publies, les gens autour le voient sur la carte, ils répondent. Simple comme un battement d'aile 🐝

Neighborhood stories
People helping each other locally
Discover how Neerbee creates connections in neighborhoods through real stories. Generations naturally crossing paths, around local life.
Sophie and the move
"I needed help assembling furniture. In 2 hours, 3 people offered their help. We ended up creating a mutual aid group in the neighborhood!"
Sophie, 32, had a sofa to assemble. She published a Mutual Aid in the morning. In the afternoon, 3 people were there to help her. Since then, they help each other regularly.
Marie's cat found
"My cat had been missing for 3 days. Thanks to the Collective, the whole neighborhood mobilized. We found him the next day!"
Marie created a Collective to mobilize the neighborhood. In 24h, more than 20 people had shared the info and searched. The cat was in a garden two streets away.
The collective cleanup
"We organized a neighborhood cleanup via a Collective. 15 people mobilized. The neighborhood has never been so clean!"
One Saturday morning, a group of people created a Collective for a waste collection. Result: 15 participants, 8 bags filled, and a transformed neighborhood.
The alert that prevented an accident
"A tree had fallen on the road. I created an Alert. In 10 minutes, the whole neighborhood was informed and the town hall alerted."
After a storm, someone published an Alert to alert about a fallen tree. The town hall was contacted quickly and the tree removed before an accident happened.
The lawnmower loan
"I needed a lawnmower for once. Instead of buying one, I found someone who lent it to me. Savings and social connection!"
A simple Mutual Aid to borrow a lawnmower created a neighborhood friendship. Now they regularly exchange tools and services.
Knowledge transmission
"I needed help understanding an administrative letter. A retired person helped me, and since then we exchange regularly: he teaches me DIY, I help him with his smartphone."
A simple Mutual Aid created an intergenerational friendship. Now they help each other regularly, without ever talking about age. Generations naturally cross paths around local life.
The Vibees
Three types of Vibees to create connections in your neighborhood. A Vibee is your need of the moment (a piece of furniture to assemble, a lost cat, a lawnmower to borrow). You publish it, people around see it on the map, they respond. Simple as a wingbeat 🐝 Accessible to all, regardless of age.

Daily mutual aid
Daily need or offer : helping hand, tool lending, quick services, pet care, local recommendations.

Collective

Weather alert
💬 How does it work?

Tools for communities
🛡️ Local Resilience Mode: activatable in exceptional situations
Neerbee is a local coordination tool usable daily as well as in exceptional situations. Local Resilience Mode allows coordinating mutual aid during local events requiring rapid mobilization.
Activation by the community
Local Resilience Mode can be activated by the community, a local referent or in partnership with a town hall or association. Defined geographic zone, limited duration (e.g.: 72h, 7 days).
Agile local coordination
Specific Vibees for material aid, temporary housing, cleanup, transport, local skills. Temporary "Mobilized" badge for active participants.
Territorial partnerships
Neerbee offers subscriptions for communities (town halls, communities of communes) and associations, allowing access to Local Resilience Mode and local coordination tools.
Neerbee is not a disaster app, but a trusted local coordination infrastructure, activatable daily as well as in exceptional situations. Daily use remains the majority (mutual aid, services, Vibees), resilience becomes a mode or enhanced usage, not the core.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Neerbee.
What is an ephemeral Vibee?
A Vibee is your need of the moment (a piece of furniture to assemble, a lost cat, a lawnmower to borrow). You publish it, people around see it on the map, they respond. Simple as a wingbeat 🐝 Vibees expire automatically to keep info fresh and current.
How does Neerbee work?
You publish geotagged Vibees, you browse an interactive map of local ads, and you contact the people concerned directly. Without intermediary or commission.
Does Neerbee use algorithms?
No, Neerbee doesn't choose what you should see. You see what's really happening near you, period. By order of proximity and freshness. No system that classifies or judges you. It's simple and transparent.
Is Neerbee suitable for all ages?
Yes, Neerbee is designed for everyone, regardless of age. Connections are created naturally around situations, not categories. Generations cross paths without seeking each other.
How to guarantee security?
Verified profiles, reputation system, local moderation and ability to report abuse. Neighborhood mutual aid is built on mutual trust. Vibees are ephemeral, limiting digital trace and social pressure.
Are Vibees really ephemeral?
Yes, Vibees expire automatically after a set duration. This ensures you only see current needs and offers, and reduces social pressure and surveillance.
