Short answer
Help Me is a free iPhone app for Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead where you ask neighbors for small favors, like a phone charger, directions, or a jump start in daylight. A neighbor can say yes, a private chat opens, and you meet in public. It is not an emergency service and not a paid marketplace.
The facts, in one place
- Free, iPhone only, in beta through TestFlight for iOS 15 or later.
- Built for Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead, not a national network.
- Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks.
- Your request shows as a rough area about 500 meters wide, not a pin on you.
The shape of one request
You open the map, choose a category, and add a sentence if you feel like it. Helpers who are online and suitable for that category can see your request. The first one to say yes gets it, a private chat opens, and the two of you decide where to meet. Both people confirm when it is finished.
There is no public feed of who needed help this week. There is no leaderboard of good deeds. The request exists, it resolves, and it stops existing.
The part people get wrong
Help Me is not an emergency service, a rideshare, a handyman marketplace, or a network for children. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team, and that review is not a criminal background check. A helper is a neighbor, not a licensed professional who was hired.
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Questions people actually ask
No. There is no follower count and no public timeline of requests. The only conversation is the private one between you and the neighbor who said yes.
