Core concepts
People
People are the foundation of Bondery. Each person represents a node in your network — a friend, colleague, family member, or anyone you want to stay connected with.
What a contact holds
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | First, middle, and last name, plus optional nickname and title |
| Phones | One or more phone numbers, each with a type (home or work) and a preferred flag |
| Emails | Same structure as phones |
| Socials | LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Signal, and website |
| Location | Free-text location field, or a precise latitude/longitude position |
| Avatar | Profile photo |
| Notes | Free-form text for anything you want to remember |
| Last interaction | Automatically updated when you log an event with this contact |
Myself
One contact per account is marked as Myself — your own profile, used when sharing yourself and on the "yourself" side of relationships.
Importing contacts
There are three ways to add contacts from LinkedIn or Instagram:
| Method | Best for | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome Extension | Saving profiles while you browse | One click on a LinkedIn or Instagram profile page |
| Bulk import | Your full connection list from a platform export | Webapp → Settings → Data management |
| Manual entry | Anyone, any source | Add contact in the webapp or mobile app |
The extension captures name, headline, location, photo, and social handles from the page you are viewing. Bulk import reads LinkedIn Connections.csv or Instagram export ZIPs and lets you preview before committing.
Mobile does not run the extension or bulk ZIP import — use the webapp for those flows, then changes sync to mobile automatically.
