Plenty of good firewood goes to waste: fallen trees, garden clean-ups and offcuts that people would happily give away if the right person knew about them. Classifieds and community groups aren't built for it, so posts get buried and pickups are hard to coordinate. The goal was a simple, dedicated way for neighbours to share and collect wood locally.
Firewood Friends is a mobile app connecting people who have spare wood with people who need it. Users browse a live map of nearby listings, post wood in minutes with photos and access notes, and arrange pickups through in-app chat. AI-assisted photo analysis pre-fills listing details, and "what's left" photo updates show what's still available before anyone travels. Listings are marked as cleared once the wood is gone. The app is live in the UK and expanding into Canada and Ireland.
