Getting started

Create an account

Go to app.usebondery.com and sign up with your GitHub or LinkedIn account. Both options are available on the sign-in page.

Add your first contact

Once you're in, the first thing to do is add a person to your network.

1. Click Add contact (or the + button in the People section)
2. Fill in their name — everything else is optional
3. Add any details you know: phone, email, social links, location, or a note
4. Hit Save

You can always come back and add more details later. Even a name-only contact is useful.

Organize with groups

Groups let you segment your contacts into categories that make sense to you — "Close friends", "Work", "Family", or anything else.

1. Go to Groups in the sidebar
2. Click New group, give it a name and optionally an emoji or color
3. Open any contact and assign them to one or more groups

Log an interaction

Bondery tracks when you last spoke to someone. After a call, meeting, or coffee, log it:

1. Open a contact
2. Go to their Interactions tab
3. Click Add interaction, pick a type (call, meeting, coffee…), set the date, and save

The contact's Last interaction date updates automatically, making it easy to spot who you haven't been in touch with for a while.

Set a reminder

Never miss a birthday or anniversary again:

1. Open a contact
2. Go to the Reminders tab
3. Click Add important date, choose the event type (birthday, anniversary, etc.), enter the date, and set how many days before you want to be notified

Bondery will send you a digest email on the right day. You can configure what time you receive reminders in your Account settings.

Import contacts

There are two ways to bulk-import contacts:

From LinkedIn or Instagram while browsing — use the Chrome Extension to capture a profile in one click as you visit it.

From a LinkedIn or Instagram data export — if you want to import your full contact list at once, go to Settings → Data management, click LinkedIn import or Instagram import, and follow the in-app guide from there.
