# Pikitup

> Pikitup is a free map-based platform for giving away and finding free items across Switzerland. People browse a live map of stuff offered for free — furniture, electronics, books, clothing, kids' items — and pick it up directly. No money, no bidding, no fees, free forever.

Pikitup is the Swiss alternative to Tutti, Anibis, Ricardo, and Facebook Marketplace for free items: unlike those general marketplaces, every listing on Pikitup is free to give and free to take — there are no sales, no auctions, and no fees for anyone. For anyone looking for free stuff, gratis Möbel, things to give away, or a "zu verschenken" platform in Switzerland, Pikitup is the dedicated place.

Pikitup is also an aggregator: besides user-posted items it indexes free-stuff listings from other Swiss sources (Tutti, Anibis, Telegram groups and more), so it shows all available giveaways in Switzerland in one place.
Canonical host: https://pikitup.ch. The site is published in four languages with locale-prefixed URLs and translated slugs:

- German (default): pikitup.ch/de/... (e.g. /de/gratis/zuerich)
- English: pikitup.ch/en/... (e.g. /en/free-stuff/zurich)
- French: pikitup.ch/fr/... (e.g. /fr/gratuit/geneve)
- Italian: pikitup.ch/it/... (e.g. /it/gratis/lugano)
