Bonds is a reminder-based app. It was developed to help people remember those meaningful connections which in the maelstrom of life, may otherwise be forgotten.
The way it works is that you create notification reminders for individuals you want to keep in touch with. The notification is scheduled for a particular period, such as every three weeks. This means that you will receive a notification every three weeks.
Notifications can be created under three distinct areas, Hello, Sick and Family. Hellos are a reminder to reach out to a friend and touch base. Sick is a reminder to message someone who is not well and Family is a place to specifically remember to touch base with family members.
When a notification arrives, you can click on the notification to be taken to the share page, where your preset message for that individual is waiting for you to send. You can edit the message at that point, or simply send it to the intended individual.
Bonds intentionally does not automatically send the message, as we did not want to remove the meaningfulness of contacting someone consciously. The images below will help explain the process in a little more detail.
