Welcome to Bonded
What a Bonded ritual is, who hosts, who joins, and every term the app uses.
Bonded is a two-person connection app. It gives two people the same guided prompts at the same time so they can move past small talk, take turns answering out loud, pass when needed, flag meaningful moments, and finish with a shared summary called a Memory Capsule.
Bonded is designed for:
- People on a date who want a warmer way to connect.
- Partners who want a structured check-in.
- Friends who want to reconnect or go deeper.
- Colleagues breaking the ice.
- Any two people who have an invite link or session code.
What a Bonded Ritual Does
A Bonded ritual (also called a session) is hosted by one person and joined by one partner. The host chooses a deck, depth, language, and length, then shares a QR code, invite link, or 6-character code.
During the ritual:
- Both people see the same prompt.
- One of you is highlighted as the person who answers first; then it swaps.
- Each person chooses whether they would answer or pass.
- If a prompt lands, either person can flag it.
- If both people flag the same prompt, it becomes a resonance moment.
- Some decks include Private Pulse rounds, where each person privately chooses a 0-100 signal.
- At the end, Bonded shows what happened and may create a Memory Capsule.
Nothing you say is typed or recorded. Bonded shows the question; the conversation happens between the two of you.
