Borrowly

Free on the App Store

Never ask ‘Who has my stuff?’ again.

Borrowly is a free iPhone app for tracking borrowed and lent items. Tools, chargers, books, and gear come first. You can also track money you lend, including partial payments. Snap a photo, pick the borrower, and keep a history. The borrower doesn’t need the app. Follow-ups and reminders happen automatically.

Free on iPhone and iPad, with in-app purchases. Android is coming later.

Borrowly app overview on iPhone: lend items and money, track loans, reminders you send yourself, and history

Features

Built for how lending actually works.

Lend Item or Lend Money from Home — a photo, a contact, a Messages draft you review, and a clear record. The person who borrowed it doesn’t need Borrowly for you to keep track.

Lend Item

Snap a photo and record who has it — in seconds.

Lend Money

Also track money you lend: outstanding balances and partial payments.

Optional AI suggestions

When enabled, Borrowly can suggest an item name, category, and value range from the photo — always editable before you save.

Send the details

Send the borrower the loan details. They don’t need the app.

Follow-ups and reminders

Borrowly follows up automatically when something hasn’t been returned, and you can send a reminder whenever you need to.

Mark returned, keep history

Close active loans when items come back while preserving a clear record of what was lent and returned.

How it works

Three steps. One clear record.

Snap it. Send it. Never forget it.

  1. Snap the item

    Capture what you’re lending. Borrowly can optionally suggest details from the photo.

  2. Choose who has it

    Pick a contact, confirm the details, and save the loan under your account.

  3. Keep the history

    Borrowly follows up automatically and keeps a history of what’s still out and what’s come back.

Privacy & security

Your loans stay yours.

Borrowly is built for personal lending records. No ads, and we never sell your data. This website may use cookie-free Vercel Web Analytics to count visits.

Account-scoped records

Loans and photos are tied to your signed-in account so only you manage your list.

The borrower doesn’t need the app

Send them the loan details. They don’t need to install Borrowly.

AI is optional

Turn AI recognition off anytime in Settings. When on, a compressed photo may be analyzed only to suggest editable details.

Delete when you want

Edit or delete loans anytime. Account deletion removes your Borrowly data from the service.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does Borrowly move money?

No. Borrowly is a personal record for items you lend and for money you track yourself, including partial payments. It does not move money between people.

Does the borrower need Borrowly?

No. You can send them the loan details, and they don’t need the app.

Why not just use Notes or Reminders?

Notes and Reminders can hold a manual note. Borrowly is built for lending, so who has it, the item or photo, any amount or balance, partial payments, returned or paid status, reminders, and history stay together in one record.

Is Borrowly free?

Yes. Borrowly is free on the App Store, with in-app purchases.

Does Borrowly follow up?

Yes. Borrowly follows up automatically when something hasn’t been returned, and you can send a reminder whenever you need to.

What happens to my photos?

Item photos are stored with your loan record, on your device and in Borrowly’s cloud storage, so you can remember exactly what was lent. If you turn on AI recognition, a compressed photo may be sent to Borrowly’s recognition service and processed by OpenAI to suggest item details. You can turn that off in Settings. Photos are not sold.

Can I track money loans too?

Yes. Use Lend Money to record cash you lent, track the outstanding balance, log partial payments, and set reminders.
