Questions, answered
What is Phenko Mat?
Phenko Mat (Hindi for "don't throw it away") is a swipe-based app for passing on things you no longer use to people nearby, at a price the owner sets (from ₹1). You swipe through items your neighbours are passing on; swiping right connects you with the owner in a chat, where you arrange the pickup.
How much do things cost on Phenko Mat?
Whatever the owner sets, from as little as ₹1. You pay them directly at pickup; Phenko Mat never handles payments, and the app itself costs nothing to use.
How do I pass on things I don't need?
Take a photo, pick a category, and set a price (₹1 is fine). People nearby see it in their feed; when someone swipes right, a chat opens so you can agree on a pickup time.
How do I find second-hand things near me?
Open Phenko Mat and swipe through items listed by people around you, sorted by distance. Swipe right on anything you'd like and chat with the owner to collect it.
Is it safe? Who can see my location?
Only your area name and a rounded distance are shown, never your exact location. Every account is verified by email, Google or Apple, and you can report or block anyone. Meet somewhere public and check items before paying.
What can I list?
Furniture, electronics, books, clothes, kitchenware, toys and most everyday household things. Weapons, medicines, alcohol, animals and anything illegal are not allowed.
