Overview.
Bondel helps people intentionally maintain their closest relationships instead of letting them fade from busyness. Users keep a small, curated circle of people and log moments, conversations, and important dates in a private timeline.
The app uses Apple’s on-device Foundation Models framework - no external servers - to surface relationship insights, follow-up suggestions, and conversation starters, and gives gentle, context-aware nudges (never AI-generated messages) to reach out. It’s local-first, with no accounts and no cloud data.
