Loot Aura is a free app that solves a problem anyone who loves yard sales knows well: finding them is harder than it should be.
Sales are scattered across Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Nextdoor, and a handful of niche sites. There is no single place to see everything near you on a map, filter by type, and plan your weekend route. Loot Aura is that place.
FOR BUYERS
Open Loot Aura on any Friday or Saturday morning and see every nearby yard sale, garage sale, and estate sale plotted on a clean, easy to use map. Tap any pin to see photos, dates, times, and a description of what is for sale. Save sales you want to visit, get directions, and browse photos before you leave the house. No account required to browse.
FOR SELLERS
Posting a sale on Loot Aura takes less than five minutes. Add your address, set your dates and times, upload a few photos, write a short description, and you are live. Your sale immediately appears on the map shown to local buyers who are actively searching for sales near them every weekend. Listing is completely free with no subscription, no commission, no premium tier required. Sellers can also promote their sale for additional visibility.
COMMUNITY-POWERED
Every listing is posted directly by the person hosting the sale. This means listings are accurate, up to date, and include the details that matter because the seller put them there themselves. The more people who list their sales, the more buyers come to the app. The more buyers use the app, the more reason sellers have to list.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
There is a sustainability angle to what Loot Aura is trying to do. Millions of households have items sitting unused that still have real value including furniture, tools, clothes, collectibles, and electronics. Many of those items will end up in a landfill simply because their owners did not realize anyone would want them, or did not know how to connect with local buyers. Loot Aura makes it easier to give those items a second life by making the entire local resale ecosystem more visible and accessible.
