My Jiran is being built to connect people moving out, people setting up home and neighbours who want to share more of what already exists — useful things, local knowledge and, later, trusted spaces.

  • No signup or waitlist
  • No public app access
  • No payments or escrow

Jiran means neighboursجيران is the Arabic word for neighbours — a name for useful local exchange.

Current status

One open page. Three clearly separated stages.

Open now

Passive concept site

Read the vision and its boundaries. There are no accounts, listings, posts, bookings or beta registration.

Candidate · not open

Household C2C beta

Furniture, Home Appliances and Free Sharing are the only first-beta candidate categories, pending separate approval.

Later · gated

Community information and spaces

These future layers need separate trust, operating, provider, permission and payment gates before they can open.

Three-layer ecosystem

Useful things first. Local knowledge next. Trusted spaces later.

Each layer has its own stage and gate. Describing the vision does not make any layer operational.

01

01 · Household sharing

A first-beta candidate for people moving out, people setting up home and neighbours passing on furniture, appliances or useful items for free. Not open.

02

02 · Community knowledge

A future information layer for neighbour questions, recommendations, moving tips, lost and found, and community-sourced notices. Planned community by community.

03

03 · Shared spaces

A later layer for trusted spaces, beginning only after right-to-list, permission, provider, operating and payment gates pass.

First-beta scope

Three useful starting categories.

Keeping the first scope narrow is intended to make the planned experience easier to understand and operate. These category cards are informational, not live marketplace links.

01FurnitureSofas, tables, chairs and storagePlanned
02Home appliancesPractical appliances for the homePlanned
03Free sharingUseful items offered without a pricePlanned

Future community hub

A local information layer for gated communities.

Planned community by community, this future hub would help neighbours exchange practical local knowledge. No post form, location selector, interaction or data collection is open here.

01Planned
Neighbour questions

Ask and recommend

Future discussions could cover everyday recommendations and practical questions without pretending every answer is authoritative.

02Planned
Moving and belonging

Tips, lost and found

A future place for moving tips, lost-and-found updates and knowledge that helps a new neighbour settle in.

03Planned
Source clarity

Community-sourced notices

Community posts would not be official building or management notices unless they were distinctly verified as such.

Status and roadmap

UAE-wide territory. Selected-community rollout.

My Jiran is intended for the UAE, not one neighbourhood only. Rollout would be selected community by selected community, with no launch timing promised.

  1. 01Open now: this passive concept website only.
  2. 02First-beta candidate: household C2C after separate approval.
  3. 03Later gated layers: community information and shared spaces.

Planned trust stack

Trust needs more than a badge.

The planned service is for adults aged 18 and over. A planned UAE PASS identity layer would be subject to provider onboarding and approval. Identity is a starting point, not proof of ownership, good conduct or transaction safety, and not a guarantee.

01

Planned identity layer

UAE PASS authentication is planned only, subject to onboarding and approval. My Jiran does not authenticate anyone through UAE PASS today.

02

Separate right-to-list checks

A future space host would need separate evidence of authority, permissions and applicable operating requirements. Identity alone is not enough.

03

Future operating controls

Report, block, moderation, escalation and support controls must be designed, tested and approved before public participation.

04

Careful handovers

Use a suitable public or common area where practical, protect precise locations and tell someone you trust about a handover.

My Jiran is an independent private concept by J Squared L.L.C-FZ. It is not a UAE government service and does not use a UAE PASS logo.

Good to know

What this concept does — and does not — promise.

Is My Jiran live?

No. This is a concept preview. Public app access, beta registration and a waitlist are not open.

Can I register for the beta?

Not yet. This website does not collect beta registrations, create accounts or operate a waitlist.

Where is My Jiran intended to operate?

The planned service territory is the UAE. Availability would be staged community by community rather than opening everywhere at once.

What is planned for the first beta?

The first scope is limited to furniture, home appliances and free sharing. Other categories are outside the current concept.

Will My Jiran handle payments or escrow?

No in-app payments or escrow are planned for the first beta. Commission, premium features and monetisation are not open and are not part of the first-beta candidate. Never enter card details through an unexpected link sent by a stranger or an alleged courier.

Is UAE PASS verification active?

No. A UAE PASS identity layer is planned subject to provider onboarding and approval. Identity would be the start of a trust stack, not a safety guarantee.

Are spaces or bookings included?

No. Shared spaces are a later gated layer. Right-to-list, permission, provider, operating and payment controls must pass before any listing or booking could open.

My Jiran concept

Share more. Waste less. Belong locally.

For now, this website explains the idea. It does not register users, collect listings or provide marketplace access.
