Two people under one umbrella on a rainy street at night

BONDENA

Oh, to be loved.
A little, every day.

The little things, said to you: a hand grabbed in a crowded room, “I saw this and thought of you”. A line like that on your lock screen, all through your day. Whether you have someone, are waiting for someone, or are getting over someone. An iPhone app, being built now.

This is what being loved looks like

Bondena is an iPhone app that sends you lines like these, in small doses, for the feeling of being noticed, held, chosen. You don’t need to have someone to want this.

The app’s own Today screen

For the days you just want the feeling

For the nights he hasn’t texted back

No contact, day two. The morning after a breakup. The hour you keep checking your phone.

  • Lines for exactly those days, like “Every day you don’t text him is a day you chose yourself”.
  • Five minutes for a hard moment. in the making
    A short guided session to sit with the urge to text instead of sending it. You tap your way through and keep one line at the end.
  • Stories for the quiet hours. in the making
    Short audio stories about love, under 3 minutes each.

A self-help tool, not a medical service.

No catches

  • No surprise charges. You see the date you would be charged before any trial starts, and Bondena can remind you while you can still cancel and pay nothing.
  • Skip what you want. You can skip the questions at the start, and skip the plans screen straight into the free app. The one question without a Skip is about reminders, and there Apple’s own prompt lets you say no.
  • Free stays free. Today’s line, your person, widgets, reminders, your streak, favorites, your own lines, sharing and the Love yourself lines.
  • Not a chatbot, and not generated for you. Every line is ready before you open the app and is the same for everyone, with your person’s name or he, she or they filled in. The lines are drafted with AI from our own examples, then picked and edited by us.

Questions

What is Bondena?

An iPhone app that sends you lines about love through your day: daily love affirmations and love quotes on your lock screen, in notifications and in widgets.

Can I download it now?

Not yet. Bondena is still being built and isn’t in the App Store; the parts marked in the making aren’t finished. There is no date yet: it opens once it is built and Apple has approved it. Leave your email and you get one email when it does.

Do I need to be in a relationship?

No. It is for anyone 13 or older who wants love: with someone, waiting for someone, or getting over someone. Name your person (he, she or they), or don’t.

Will it make him text me, or bring my ex back?

No. Nothing can promise that, and Bondena doesn’t. Its lines and sessions are for you.

Is it for no contact and breakups?

It has lines for those days. A five-minute session for no contact, for after a breakup and for when he hasn’t texted back is in the making.

Does it work on the lock screen?

Yes. Lines arrive as notifications at the times you choose, and there is a Lock Screen widget and Home Screen widgets.

How much will it cost?

The plan: today’s line, your person, widgets, reminders, your streak, favorites, your own lines, sharing and the Love yourself lines are free, and stay free. A paid plan opens the other five kinds of lines (about him, from him, his how-to, after a breakup, no contact) and more photo themes, and, once they are built, every hard-day session and the full stories. There are three plans: yearly, monthly and lifetime. The yearly plan starts with 3 days free. The yearly and monthly plans renew automatically until you cancel; cancel in Apple’s subscription settings at least a day before the charge date and you pay nothing. Lifetime is paid once.

Where do the lines come from?

First from our own TikTok posts about love, the ones people saved most, then from what readers write in comments and forums, rewritten in our words. They are ready before you open the app and the same for everyone, never generated for you on the spot.

Is any of it made with AI?

Yes. The lines are drafted with AI from our own examples, then picked and edited by us; so are the stories and the hard-day sessions in the making. The stories will be read by an AI voice. The photos behind the lines are made with AI, and the app says so where you pick them. Nothing is generated for you on the spot.

What happens to my person’s name?

It stays on your phone and is never sent to us or anyone else. Only your iPhone’s own backup, if you keep one, holds a copy.

Do you sell my data?

No. Your person’s name and your own words stay on your phone. When Bondena opens, the app will send usage counts and crash reports, never a name or anything you type, and a plan you buy goes through Apple and RevenueCat.

Is there an Android version?

No. Bondena is being built for iPhone.

Is it medical care?

No. Bondena is a self-help tool, not a medical service.

Do I need an account?

No. The app has no account and no sign-up.
