BondBeacon

BondBeacon is a mobile + web app that helps online friends actually build a stable, platonic relationship instead of fading after a few chats. It pairs people around specific “friendship tracks” (e.g., weekly co-working, hobby practice, language exchange, grief support, gaming-but-no-toxicity) and then enforces lightweight structure: a shared cadence, short check-ins, and a simple “next hang” plan. The app focuses on retention mechanics that most friendship apps ignore: scheduling friction removal, conversation prompts that adapt to your history, and a clear way to set boundaries (time, topics, intensity). It also includes a low-stakes “friendship health” indicator so both people can see if the connection is drifting and choose to fix it or end it cleanly. This is not a social feed; it’s a tool for maintaining 1:1 and small-group online friendships.
