Bond

Read full description

Bond remembers who you've been meaning to reach out to — so you don't have to carry that in your head. No guilt. No pressure. Just a quiet reminder when a friendship needs a little attention. --- WHO NEEDS YOU Bond keeps a living list of your people, sorted by how long it's been. Overdue friends surface softly — "Late March", "Mid-March" — not with a flashing red badge. You set the rhythm for each person: weekly, monthly, whenever feels right. Change it anytime. WHAT TO DO TOGETHER The hardest part isn't remembering to reach out — it's knowing what to actually do. Bond's Inspiration tab suggests one fresh activity every day (~150 ideas total), matched to the friend you've been neglecting most. Stargazing with a thermos. A long walk. That coffee you keep saying you'll have. Tap to see more ideas; a few re-rolls are free each day. HOW YOUR CIRCLE FITS The Network tab shows your whole social world as a connected map — who knows whom, how close each relationship is, where the clusters are. Five tiers (Intimate, Close, Trusted, Acquainted, Casual) let you be honest about where things actually stand, without anyone ever seeing how you've categorised them. --- WHAT MAKES BOND DIFFERENT Entirely on your device. No account. No cloud. No subscription to a server somewhere holding your relationship data hostage. Bond lives in SwiftData on your iPhone. Nobody sees who you've put in "Casual". Your data is yours. Not a CRM. Bond does not care about your pipeline, your network ROI, or your last-contact notes. It cares whether you've seen your old flatmate recently and whether you two might enjoy stargazing. Not a social network. Your friends never see the app. There is no feed. Nobody gets a notification because you added them. This is a private space for you to tend to the relationships that matter. Read access, always. After the 7-day free trial, Bond goes read-only rather than locking you out. Your data stays visible. You keep access to your people. We think that's the only fair model. --- EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE APP - Contacts tab: urgency-sorted friend list with friendship tiers and soft fuzzy dates - Inspiration tab: one curated activity suggestion per day, paired to your most-overdue friend - Network tab: force-directed social graph of your whole circle - Friendship status quiz: find the right tier for each relationship - Birthday and anniversary reminders - Two home-screen widgets: upcoming events and overdue friends at a glance - Local notifications: gentle nudges, not alarm-clock pressure - JSON import and export: your data in a readable format, always - Light and dark mode; full German language support --- PLANS Bond Forever — $8.99 one-time (recommended) Bond Premium — $3.99 per year Free trial: 7 days, full access. No credit card asked until you decide. --- Questions? hello@rooftopmoments.com Privacy: rooftopmoments.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
