8 guides

• What is timebanking?

  Timebanking lets people help each other using time instead of money. One hour of help earns one time credit.

• How do time credits work?

  You earn time credits by giving help and spend them on getting help. Your balance is kept in your wallet.

• How do I join?

  Create an account with your name, email address and a password. Some communities also ask for an invite code.

• Confirming your email and waiting for approval

  After you sign up, confirm your email address. In many communities a coordinator also approves each new member.

• Setting up your profile for the first time

  The first time you sign in, a short guided setup helps you add a photo, a few words about you, and your skills.

• Can I use it on my phone?

  Yes. Use your phone's web browser, add the site to your home screen, or try the Android app.

• Is there a simpler, more accessible version?

  Yes. A simpler, highly accessible version of the site is available. It opens in a new tab.

• Changing language, dark mode and text size

  Choose your language, switch between light and dark mode, and make text larger or clearer.
