Your community’s own list — and it belongs to the community.
The recommendation questions that fill your group every week are the most useful messages in it, and they’re unfindable by Thursday. This keeps them, under your community’s name, at no cost to anyone.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Residents do not pay to use Niborz. There are no paid placements, and no way for a business to buy its way up the list — whatever a business pays us, it never changes where it appears.
Who owns the list?
The community. It’s your residents’ knowledge under your community’s name, and the committee can take the whole list and walk away with it whenever it likes. The committee can also delete any entry, without asking us.
What does the committee have to do?
One thing: approve members. A committee member opens the Neighbors page, sees who has joined and the home address they typed, and taps Verify resident next to the names they recognize. No documents — not a lease, not a bill, not an ID. There is nowhere in the app to upload one. Your knowledge of who lives here is the whole check, and nobody outside the community can do it, including us.
What about privacy?
We hold a name, an email used only to sign in, and a home address. The home address is visible only to your admin. We never look it up, map it, or check it against anything outside your community. Emails are never shown to other residents. A phone number is only ever used to text one verification code, and it is never shown to anyone. Your list is scoped to your community — a neighboring community cannot read it, or confirm it exists.
Six commitments, in writing
- Residents do not pay.
- The app never posts into your group — only a person can.
- Your community can take its list and leave with it.
- Only verified residents can recommend; one review per person per business.
- No anonymous posts. Every entry carries a real name.
- The committee can remove any entry without our permission.
The ask is small.
A table in the clubhouse for ninety minutes one Saturday, and one message from you into the group. Nothing to sign, no budget line, no committee resolution.
