What is KnownRoster?
KnownRoster is a private, trust-based directory that helps you find people you already know and trust — fast.
The problem it solves
In most communities, the same question keeps coming up:
“Who does X?”
Who’s a good electrician? Who can help with bookkeeping? Who fixes fences? Who designs logos? KnownRoster makes that answer easy to find — without group texts, social media posts, or guessing.
How it works
KnownRoster stays high-quality because it’s built on real relationships.
- Invite code — Someone you know shares an invite code.
- Application — You fill out a short profile: name, what you do, and how to contact you.
- Vouching — Two existing members vouch for you using your application code.
- Directory — Once approved, you can browse and search the directory.
What you can do inside
- Search members by profession or skill
- Browse a clean directory of people in your area/community
- Contact someone directly using their preferred method
- Add a simple trust signal: “Worked with” (shows a count only)
Privacy + trust
KnownRoster is designed to be personal and low-noise:
- It’s not public and not indexed by search engines
- Applicants are not visible until they’re approved
- Contact details are shared intentionally so members can connect directly
- No feed, no ads, no social posting
Who it’s for
KnownRoster works best for groups where relationships matter, such as:
- Churches and ministries
- Neighborhood communities
- Local business networks
- Clubs and associations
KnownRoster helps you find trusted people — and helps your community support its own.
