The Bonded changelog
Built in chapters. Shared while it’s still becoming.
A running, honest look at what is live in Bonded, what we are shaping now, and the bigger direction we are curious enough to explore.
No dates are hidden in the bushes. Anything beyond “Live now” is direction—not a promise.

How to read the trail
Green is now. The rest is where the trail may lead.
Read each chapter by its status—not as a launch calendar.

What’s live. What’s coming.
Follow the work, not a made-up countdown.
We would rather show the shape of our thinking than pretend every idea already has a shipping label.
Chapter 01 · Ready to use
Live now
The parts of Bonded you can play with, share, and send today.
01
The Core Game
Question-and-answer sessions built to move two people from small talk to real presence, played together in the same room.
Seven Decks
Starter, Date Night, Friends, Couples, 36 Questions, Spark, and Closeness—each tuned for a different relationship and depth of conversation.
Connections & Ping
After playing together, connect for real. A Ping lets you say “thinking of you” without needing the perfect opening line.
Avatars
A small visual version of you, built layer by layer, that shows up across the app.
Gift Codes
Give someone Bonded Premium as an actual gift, not just an account upgrade.
Chapter 02 · Not yet live
Coming soon, in review
Close enough to see clearly. Still being checked before it becomes part of the path.
02
Five New Decks
Long Distance, New Parents, Reunited, Family, and Colleagues. Each is built for a specific real chapter of a relationship—not a reskin of an existing deck.
Chapter 03 · Work in motion
Exploring, in active design
Questions we are actively giving form—carefully, because the how matters as much as the what.
03
Side Quests
Turn a Ping into a real invitation: coffee, a museum walk, a specific plan. Sent so it can reach someone even if they do not have Bonded yet.
Remote Play
New ways to play across distance: multiple-choice, written answers, and mood sliders alongside the classic spoken format.
Cold Start
An easier, gentler way to say hello to someone new in person—being designed around consent and comfort first, not novelty first.
Chapter 04 · The horizon
The bigger vision
Possibilities that could bring Bonded beyond one app and into the objects, stories, and spaces of everyday life.
04
A Smart Band
A physical, wearable piece of Bonded: research-backed haptic signals that let presence travel between two people when they are apart—not vibration for its own sake.
A Discovery Layer
A thoughtful, consent-first way Bonded could someday help people find real connection beyond who they already know.
Bonded on YouTube
Video about presence, connection, and the research behind why Bonded is built the way it is.
Founder Vlogs
Building Bonded in public.
Merch & Objects
Physical pieces of Bonded designed to live in your actual life, not just your phone.
Real-World Experiences
Installations and in-person events where Bonded’s ideas can be felt directly, not just played on a screen.
