Your family,remembered.

Bring them in.Keep them close.Show up.

Bonds is a mobile app for remembering your family—who everyone is, how they're connected, and when to reach out.

A little context. A closer family.

Every name has
a family around it.

People don't fit in an address book.

You know the face. You know they're family. It's the connections and little details that can be harder to remember.

  • Lina

    “Is she Nadia's daughter or her niece?”

  • Amir

    “Which cousin is he married to?”

  • NoorSami

    “What are my cousin's children's names again?”

A name and a number only tell part of the story.

A place for the whole story

Your family, in context.

See a person's parents, partner and children together, so each name has a place in the family.

Parents. Partners. Children.
The connections that make a name familiar.

How Bonds works

  1. Bring them in.

    Start with the relatives who come to mind. Your aunt. Her children. The branch of the family you don't see as often.

    • Nadia

      Your aunt

    • Lina

      Your cousin

    • Adam

      Your cousin

  2. Keep them close.

    Even after months apart, pick up with the details you wanted to remember—like your cousin's children's names.

    Your cousin · Lives abroad

    • Noor

    • Sami

    Lina and her children.
  3. Show up.

    Remembering her birthday is a start. Remembering her children's names gives you something more to ask about.

    One week before

    Lina's birthday

    18 May · Your cousin

    Make time for a birthday call.

    “Happy birthday, Lina! How are Noor and Sami?”
    An example birthday reminder.

Time to show up

Birthday reminders that give you time.

A reminder on the day might be all you need for a call. Or you might want time to buy or make a present, edit a birthday wishes video, send something, or make plans together.

Choose the reminders that suit you and each person in your family.

Sometimes a name isn't enough.

Two relatives can share a name. Seeing who each is connected to helps you tell them apart.

Two Linas. Two places in the family.

A personal part of life

The people in your life are personal.

The family details you save in Bonds are stored on your device. Bonds doesn't send your family database, photos or device contacts to a Bonds server.

No account required. No advertising or analytics services.

Read the privacy policy
You choose what to add.
Enter family details yourself, or choose to import a person from your device contacts. Contact access is optional.
You choose when to reach out.
When you choose to call or message, Bonds passes the phone number to the app you select. That app handles the action under its own privacy policy.

Keep your family a little closer.

For the relatives you see every week, and the ones you wish you saw more often.
