Getting Started
Welcome to Karmyq — a place where neighbours help each other out. This guide shows you how to get going in a few simple steps.
1. Create Your Account
Go to karmyq.com and click Register.
You'll need:
- An email address
- A display name (this is how people will know you)
- A password
No phone number, credit card, or social login required.
2. Find Your Community
After registering, head to Communities in the nav.
Browse nearby communities — look for a group in your area or one that matches your interests.
Accept an invite — if someone invited you, click their link to join directly.
Start your own — click Create Community to set up a group for your street, building, or circle of friends.
3. Navigate the App
After logging in, you'll see four tabs at the top (or bottom on mobile):
- Browse — See requests from your community that you can help with
- Commitments — Track everything you've agreed to do (and everything you're waiting on)
- My Requests — Manage the help you've asked for and incoming offers
- Profile — Your karma, trust score, and settings
Use the community selector at the top to filter by a specific community, or leave it as "All" to see everything.
Some communities ask new members to wait a bit before posting big requests — it's just a way to build trust first. In the meantime, look for easy ways to help on the Browse tab.
4. Do Something
The best first move is to help someone.
Find a request you can fulfil and offer to help. It takes about 30 seconds to respond. Once you follow through, you'll earn karma and start building a real connection with that person.
Or if you need something, post a request. Tap the + button at the bottom right — it expands into Get Help (for community requests) and Get Service (to hire a provider). Pick your request type, describe what you need, and post. It takes about 30 seconds.
