Post a request in your own words.
Describe what you need and set a price. Change the rest only if you need to. People nearby send offers, and you pay only when it's done.
You must review and accept an offer before it is confirmed.
Set Price
Who helps
Choose who helps, or let the first person accept.
Payment
You're charged only when it's done.
The provider can see the payment is held before they start.
You're charged once the provider marks the request done.
If something went wrong, report it within 7 days. The provider's payout waits until the window closes.
Providers verify their identity before taking paid work, and both sides review each other.
Frequently asked questions
What can I ask for?
Almost any legal task a person nearby can help with: errands, queues, deliveries, renting items, pet and plant care, setup and small fixes. If it's not on that list, post it anyway.
How much does it cost?
You set the price. Shadow adds a service fee, and you see the full total before you post.
What if no one takes my request?
You don't pay anything. A request no one takes expires an hour after posting if it's for Now, or at the date and time you chose.
What if something goes wrong?
Report it in the app within the 7-day Safety Window. A person reviews the request chat and details from both sides.
Does Shadow do the work itself?
No. Shadow connects you with people nearby and handles the payment. The person you accept does the work.
