See what your block gets
A private space built for one street. Message board, neighbor directory, satellite map, email blasts — everything stays between you and your neighbors.
See every neighbor on your street pinned to a satellite map. Know exactly who lives where.
What happens on your block
No algorithm, no strangers, no noise. Just the stuff your block needs to know.
Lost pet on the loose
Post to the block board and every neighbor sees it within minutes. No scrolling past ads.
Package at the wrong house
Check the directory, find who lives at that address, and text them directly.
Block-wide garage sale
Coordinate dates, share a flyer, and email the whole block with one click.
Ice storm or power outage
Warn your neighbors fast. Everyone on the block gets an email blast instantly.
Block party this Saturday
Post the plan, see who's coming, and keep the thread in one place — not across 5 text chains.
Suspicious activity
Give your block a private heads-up. Only seen by people who actually live there.
Built for real residential blocks
Built by a neighbor who wanted a better way to stay connected with the people on his actual street — not a feed full of strangers and sponsored posts.
Not another neighborhood app
You know the other one. Ads in your feed, strangers in your “neighborhood,” and your data sold to the highest bidder. This is different.

10+
neighbors
Your block has its own private community. The directory and map become indispensable.
Bonus: Every neighbor who joins through your invite extends your free trial by 5 days. Get a few to join and your 45-day trial stretches well past two months.
You don't need everyone. Just start with one.
You don't need the whole block on day one. Text one neighbor. If two of you find it useful, the rest will follow.
Text a neighbor
Copy your invite link and send it to one person you know on the block. That's the whole move.
Drop a flyer
We generate a printable flyer with a QR code for your block. Put one in a few mailboxes or on the community board.
Mention it in passing
Next time you're grabbing the mail or walking the dog: “Hey, I set up a private app for our block.” That's the whole pitch.
You get 45 days to build momentum. No rush — it only takes 3–5 households for the app to feel alive.
You're the customer, not the product
We don't show ads, we don't sell your data, and we don't track you. JustOurBlock is a product you pay for — and your privacy is what you get.
Simple Pricing
Less than $2 a month. No ads, no data selling.
Every neighbor gets their own 45 days free. No credit card. Cancel anytime.
Everyone gets the same features. No tiers, no upsells, no feature gates. One price, everything included.
Questions neighbors ask
The honest answers. Still curious? See the full help center.
What if my neighbors won't join?+
You don't need the whole block — you need one. Text the invite link to a single neighbor you know. Once two of you find it useful, the rest follow. Most blocks feel alive at just 3–5 households, and your 45-day trial gives you plenty of time. We even generate a printable flyer with a QR code for a few mailboxes.
How is this different from Nextdoor?+
Nextdoor is a whole 'neighborhood' of strangers, paid for by ads and your data, with a feed famous for arguments. JustOurBlock is just your block: members join with a real address on your street and your admin can remove anyone who isn't a genuine neighbor — plus no ads, no data selling, no algorithm, and your block stays private to the neighbors you approve, never the public or search engines. You're the customer, not the product.
Isn't a group chat or Facebook group good enough?+
Group texts fall apart past a few people and have no directory or map. A Facebook group hands your block's conversations to Facebook's algorithm and lets anyone lurk. JustOurBlock stays private to your block's members, organizes posts by type, and gives you a real directory and block map.
What does it cost?+
Free for 45 days, no credit card — and everyone who joins gets their own 45-day trial too, whether they start the block or join it. After that it's $19.99/year per neighbor (less than $2 a month). Every neighbor who joins through your invite adds 5 free days to your trial.
Is it private and safe?+
Completely. Members join with a real address on your street, and your admin can remove anyone who isn't a genuine neighbor. Your block — directory, map, and board — is private to its approved members and never public or searchable, every post can be flagged and removed, and we never sell your data or track you.
