For when you're the one who's short

Rent's tight, the tank's empty, the vet bill came at a bad time — it happens to everyone. Gimmie-Five gives you a simple, no-shame way to ask a few people for a few dollars.

Claim a free handle, write a line or two about what you're working toward, set a small goal, and connect your Ko-fi. When someone gives, the money lands in your Ko-fi. The app never holds it, never routes it, never skims it. You keep every dollar.

Because it's Ko-fi, your goal bar fills with real, verified dollars as they arrive. Want privacy? Flip on a fingerprint or PIN lock anytime.

What's inside

A real app, built so both sides get something real.
For people who need a little

You keep 100%

The app never touches, holds, or routes money. It opens your Ko-fi and the dollars go straight to you — no cut.

Runs on your Ko-fi

Connect the Ko-fi account you already have. Gives land there directly — the app just points people to it.

Verified goal bar

Ko-fi confirms each donation, so your goal bar tracks real, webhook-verified dollars — not a guess.

Say what you need

Write a short story and pick a goal — groceries, gas, a kid's shoes — so givers know what they're helping with.

Claim a free handle

Pick a name, choose an avatar, and you're live in about a minute. Free, always.

Optional privacy lock

Turn on a fingerprint or PIN lock in Settings whenever you want it — off until you choose.

For people who want to give

Particle-burst giving

Every Gimmie Five fires a burst of coins, hearts and stars. The tap feels like a slot machine paying out.

Gratitude Wall

A growing grid of every thank-you you've received — a sticker-book of everyone you helped.

Points, streaks & badges

Earn points per give, keep a streak, climb giver levels and unlock new confetti and themes.

Always someone to brighten

Browse a directory of profiles by category — groceries, kids, gas, vet bills. It's never empty.
