Bondz

A relationship-upkeep app that tells busy adults which few friends and family members to call or text today. Offline-first, private by design, and no AI.

The brief

People do not lose touch on purpose. They lose touch because nothing reminds them, and the reminders that exist feel like chores. Bondz asks for a quota ("Family: two people a week") and does the choosing.

What we built

  • Cycles with quotas, and an optional check-in frequency for individuals.
  • A Today screen with one "Next up" card and Done, Snooze, Skip and Swap, all with undo.
  • Profiles with birthdays, notes and relationship links, pulled from the phone's contacts.
  • One-tap call, SMS and WhatsApp.
  • Offline-first storage with sync across devices.
  • Privacy by design: no AI, and the app never reads the call log.

Where it stands

Version 1 is in active development with tests across the suggestion engine, sync and screens. Store listing and final icon are still to come.
