About us

Built for the neighborhood, not the feed.

SnagTimer is a NYC-based marketplace built around one idea: the best local finds don't last, so the app shouldn't pretend otherwise. Items, on-the-fly deals from nearby businesses, booked services, and neighborhood groups all run on a countdown. No chat threads, no politics, no doomscrolling — just real people nearby, moving fast on real things.

Items

A lamp at 6pm. Gone by 7.

List a couch, a jacket, a box of records — set it live and the price drops the longer it sits. Nearby buyers see it first, and pickup is locked in before anyone has to haggle over a chat thread.

On the Fly

Half a tray of croissants left at 4? Say so.

Verified local businesses post deals and pickups in real time — extra stock, last-minute discounts, today-only offers. It shows up on the clock the moment it's posted, and it's gone the moment someone snags it.

Our mission

Us vs. The Sidewalk.

“Could someone in my neighborhood use this?”

Every day, perfectly usable furniture, clothing, and electronics end up on the sidewalk simply because their owner no longer needs them. We're building a world where the first place you think of isn't the curb — it's your community.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

01

Browse what's near you

Items, on-the-fly deals, booked services, and neighborhood groups — all filtered to your actual block, not a citywide feed.

02

Snag it before it's gone

Everything runs on a countdown. See something you want? Move — someone else is watching the same clock.

03

Meet up or book, done

Pay securely in-app or arrange cash on pickup. No middleman messaging, no back-and-forth.
