Buddies is a simple way to stay close to the people who matter, even when life gets busy. Friendships are not meant to fade. They just need a little care. Buddies turns your relationships into a living garden, where every friend becomes a flower that grows when you show up, and slowly fades when you do not. It is not about tracking. It is about being intentional. - Your Garden: See your friendships as a calm, living space made of beautiful flowers. Each one represents someone in your life, making it easy to feel who you have been nurturing and who you might be losing touch with. - Care Rhythm: Every friendship is different. Set how often you want to connect, and Buddies adapts to your rhythm so relationships grow in a way that feels natural, not forced. - Moments That Matter: Log the small things that keep friendships alive. A quick message, a long call, a shared coffee, a thoughtful gift. Every moment adds life back into your garden. - Memory Thread: Each friend has a simple, evolving timeline of your interactions. A quiet place to remember what you have shared and pick up right where you left off. - Gentle Signals: Buddies does not pressure you. It gently lets you know when a friendship needs attention, before distance turns into disconnection. - Time Sensitivity: Not all relationships fade the same way. Customize how quickly each one needs care, so your closest friendships get the attention they deserve. - Personal Notes: Capture the details that matter. Things they love, things they are going through, or anything you want to remember to be a better friend. - Flexible Reminders: Set reminders that fit your life. Once, weekly, monthly, or however you prefer. Buddies works in the background so you do not have to think about it. Buddies is not about doing more. It is about not losing the people you care about. Bloomie offers a free trial with full access to all features described above, after which a subscription is required to continue using the app. Terms & Conditions: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
