Built and operated by Ask For Task.
Simple by design
Enough structure to help. Enough privacy to feel safe.
Pinglo keeps the experience focused: post the essentials, find a likely match, and move carefully from there. Join your place’s community and the same calm feed carries safety alerts, hand-in points, and safe meetup spots.
Connect carefully
Pinglo is built around safer conversations, not random public replies.
Close the loop
When an item gets back to the right person, the return can be confirmed in-app.
Why Pinglo exists
Losing something breaks your day. Getting it back should feel calm.
Pinglo started from a simple belief: everyday things deserve a way back, and every place deserves a feed where people look out for each other. That vision shapes every screen — from the first report to the moment something is back in the right hands.
Less panic, less noise
Clear reports and a quiet feed that help you act, instead of adding stress to an already bad moment.
Verify before you share
Claim checks, private proof details, and safe-handoff guidance protect both sides of every return.
Places that look out for people
Private feeds for campuses, venues, and workplaces — safety alerts, hand-in points, and lost & found together.

The idea
An everyday problem, solved by luck
Lost property lived on noticeboards, in group chats, and in hope. Pinglo set out to organise the way back.

Questions people ask about Pinglo
The essentials on how Pinglo works, what it costs, and how it keeps lost-and-found returns safe.
What is Pinglo?
Pinglo is a free iPhone app for lost and found and community safety. You can report lost or found items, connect safely with the right person, verify claims before handing anything over, and join private community feeds for your campus, venue, or workplace.
Is Pinglo free to use?
Yes. Pinglo is free to download and use on iPhone. Places that run their own private community feed choose a plan based on how many members they need.
How do I join my community’s feed?
Scan the Pinglo poster at your campus, venue, or workplace, or open the Communities tab in the app. You’ll land in a private feed with safety alerts, hand-in points, and lost & found for that place.
How does Pinglo keep returns safe?
Pinglo uses claim verification, private proof details, private chat, and public-meetup guidance, plus report and block tools, so both sides can hand items over with confidence. See our support & safety guidance for more.

Privacy first
