Now taking names in Helsinki
For queue tickets, pharmacy runs, package pickups, and the tiny emergencies that eat the whole day. Handyman connects you with a real local handyman who shows up like a childhood friend—minus the guilt trip, for a fee, of course.
Launching in Helsinki first.
The first 100 customers get one free favour.
hold my ice cream while i finish this email??
Go write the email. I've got the cone. 🍦
There's a special kind of tired that comes from asking the group chat for help and getting fourteen seens. The pharmacy closes at five. The package locker is across town. Your ice cream is melting while you finish the email.
Handyman brings back the oldest system there is: you ask, someone shows up. Except this time you can compare offers, check reviews, agree on a price, and pay safely. No group-chat guilt, no awkward money talk.
Post anything you'd ask a friend. Local handymen send offers, you choose who shows up, and the price is agreed before anyone moves. If it makes your day 10% lighter, it belongs here.
Put your first ask on the listGig tickets. The passport office. A pop-up that was “totally worth it.” Your handyman stands in line so you can get on with your day.
Prescriptions collected, questions asked, chocolate purchased if required. Discreet, on time, and no doom-scrolling in the waiting room.
Lockers, post offices, neighbours' hallways. Your handyman tracks it, grabs it, and gets it to your door before it becomes a personality trait.
Hold the ice cream. Save the seat. Bring the charger you forgot. The small things, handled before they spiral.
Dry cleaning, keys, returns, the thing that's been on your list since March. Finally, someone else can be the person who does it.
If it's legal, safe, and humanly possible, post it. Half the job is having someone who says “yeah, I've got it.”
If it needs a licence, a lawyer, or a getaway car, it's out. Everything else is fair game.
Ask for something weirdNo dashboards to learn. No phone calls to chase. Just post what's weighing on you and pick the offer that feels right.
Say what you need, when you need it, and roughly what you'd pay. “Can you queue for tickets?” is a complete sentence.
Local handymen send their price and ETA. Check profiles, reviews, and vibes. Choose the person who feels right.
Lock in the price, pay securely, and release payment when the favour's done. The platform takes 3%; your handyman keeps 97%.
Average ask takes 40 seconds. Average relief: absurdly high.
Queue duty
Mika sent a photo from the queue.
We're not trying to be a service you tolerate. We're trying to be the friend you're genuinely glad exists.
No “leaving soon” that means 45 minutes. An ETA is a promise.
Ask for the ridiculous thing. We've heard stranger. We've probably done stranger.
Oat milk, buzzer code, which side of the door the plant is on.
A photo when it's done. Not a “should be fine.” We're not monsters.
Asking for help is the whole point. You don't have to write a paragraph about it.
Emotionally, if not physically. Some things are bigger than us.

Helsinki first. Bring your good energy.
We're launching city by city, starting with Helsinki. Join as a customer or a handyman—and be first through the door when we reach your city.
We'll email you when we're ready to take something off your plate. Until then: consider this one thing handled.
Still curious? Ask us anything. We're unusually easy to talk to.
No. Task apps give you a place to store the things you still have to do. We give you a human who does them. The font is quite nice, though.
Independent local handymen who apply to join, pass a background check and a practical test, and—most importantly—would we ask them to hold our ice cream? You'll see who's coming before they arrive.
Anything legal, safe, and humanly possible. Queues, pickups, pharmacy runs, life admin, waiting with you, holding the thing while you do the other thing. If it needs a licence or a lawyer, we'll politely pass.
Same-day in launch areas, depending on who's available. Post early for queues and time-sensitive things. Handymen send their ETA with every offer, so you can choose what works.
Customers pay per favour—no subscription. You agree the exact price with your handyman before work starts, and payment is released when it's done. Handymen pay €9.99/month plus 3% of each completed job.
No. Customers pay per favour, and only after the price is agreed. The €9.99/month membership is for handymen who want to offer services on the platform.
You agree a price with your handyman before work starts. Payment is held securely and released when the job is done. The platform takes a 3% fee; your handyman keeps 97%.
Yes, if they're available. Book the same handyman again from their profile. No pressure to make it weird. (You will probably make it weird.)
Helsinki first, then city by city. Tell us where you are on the waitlist—we're listening, and we're very suggestible.
We know. We don't fix sinks. We fix afternoons. The name was a childhood-friend joke that got out of hand. We're keeping it.
