Budly turns your friendships into a garden you actually want to tend. Every friend is a plant. Spend time together and they bloom. Let too much time slip by and they get thirsty, then start to wilt — so you always know exactly who could use a call, a text, or a coffee. PLANT YOUR PEOPLE Add friends by hand or import them from Contacts. Each bud gets its own plant — its shape and color are unique to them, or pick your own in the appearance editor. BEDS FOR YOUR CIRCLES Group friends into garden beds — Close Friends, Work, or any bed you create — and see the health of each circle at a glance. LOG YOUR HANGS Coffee, calls, game nights: log a hang in seconds, tag everyone who was there, and watch the whole group perk up. Your Activity tab becomes a little journal of time well spent. SET YOUR OWN PACE Choose a check-in cadence per friend — weekly for your inner circle, monthly for far-flung friends. Watering reminders arrive as a gentle daily digest, never a guilt trip. GREENHOUSE MODE Life gets busy. Flip on Greenhouse Mode to pause the clock for everyone while you catch your breath — no wilting, no ghosting. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no feeds, no followers. Your garden lives on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud. Works fully offline. Friendships grow when you show up. Budly helps you show up.
