Safety

Made for students.
Only students.

Everyone on HAFI goes to your school, every payment goes through the app, and every review comes from someone who actually worked with you.

Only Oberlin students

You join with your school email. Every profile shows the campus and the class year, so you always know who you’re dealing with.

Money held until it’s done

Pay in the app, never in cash. If something goes wrong, HAFI helps sort it out before anyone is paid.

No phone numbers

Everyone talks in HAFI messages, and a chat only opens after someone is chosen.

Reviews you can trust

Only people who worked together can review each other.

Report and block

One tap from any profile, post or chat. HAFI reviews every report.

Buy & sell

Your campus already has what you need.

Mini fridges, textbooks, lamps and bikes from students nearby, picked up on campus. Can’t find it? Post what you want and sellers come to you.

  • No shipping. Meet on campus.
  • Paid through the app when you pick it up.
  • Moving out? Sell it before you leave.
