A day with BondNow

It isn't an app they have to open. It's simply there, all day, asking nothing of them.

Morning

Their station starts on its own

A gentle chime, then the local station plays quietly in the background. Nothing pressed. The day begins with company.

Through the day

Faces keep arriving

Photos and videos from anyone in the circle appear on the screen as they are shared. The room is never empty of family.

Evening

You call. They look up.

Your name is announced out loud, so they know who is calling. The call connects itself, and you are simply there. No button. No missed ring.

She heard her daughter's name. She looked up. The call connected. She pressed nothing.

Everything it does. Nothing it asks of them.

One device in their room, one app on your phone. Everything below happens without your relative doing anything at all.

Calls that answer themselves

Your name is announced out loud through the device, so they know who is calling before they even look up. The call then connects on its own within ten seconds. They press nothing, which is why it still works when a phone no longer does.

Works with: dementia, tremor, arthritis, limited mobility, low vision.

Memories, all day

Photos and videos shared by anyone in the circle appear on the screen automatically and keep playing between calls. A living frame of everyone who loves them.

How: Share from the app. It appears in seconds. No limit on how many people join.

Their station, on time

Any station, any language, anywhere in the world. Play it now, or schedule a favourite to start on its own. Their local station every morning, without a button.

How: A gentle chime, then it plays. It never interrupts a call.
Coming next

Gentle reminders

A spoken nudge at the right moment. A tablet to take, an appointment, a daughter visiting at four. Set from your phone, wherever you are.

Status: Arriving in the next few weeks.
In development

Everyday rhythms

A quiet sense of how their days are going, so you feel connected to their week rather than only to the moments you happen to catch.

Status: In development. Designed to be gentle and non-medical, never a diagnosis.
In development

Reach someone, fast

One press rings everyone in the circle at once, and keeps ringing until somebody answers.

Please note: This rings your family circle. It does not call 999 and it is not a monitored alarm service.

How BondNow compares

Most things a family can buy help either the older person or the people around them. Very few do both, and almost nothing brings the care team in too.

Designed for everyone involved in care

Families

  • Stop the anxious evening call. You have already seen their day.
  • Invite everyone. Each person joins on their own phone and calls whenever they like.
  • Grandchildren keep a real relationship, without it having to be an event.
  • The guilt of not being there fades. The connection never does.

Care Homes

  • Residents get their own connection to family, not a shared floor phone.
  • Your carers do nothing. Families run it themselves.
  • Evidence of resident engagement for the Caring and Responsive domains.
  • Families who can reach their relative stop ringing your team.

Home Care Agencies

  • Your carers cover the visits. BondNow covers the hours in between.
  • Reassurance between visits that adds no task for your team.
  • Clients feel less isolated. Families trust you more.
  • A service story no visits-only agency can tell.

No setup for them. One minute for you.

1

Order it

Give us the delivery address. The device ships configured and ready, with nothing to set up at the other end.

2

It arrives ready

Whoever receives it sets one password, once. That is the only setup that ever happens. After that the device looks after itself.

3

Make the first call

Download the app. Your family circle already exists, so invite whoever you like. Then call. The device answers itself.

Real families. Real connection.

Not a projection or a pilot forecast. This is what has actually happened on BondNow so far.

Figures from January 2025 to date. We publish what we have measured, and nothing else.

I have been using Bondnow to keep in touch with my grandma and it’s genuinely helped me be more consistent about checking in. The app is straightforward and the experience feels smooth overall.

Living in a country away from grandparents makes it hard to communicate with them and share latest news. With Bond Now and the dedicated tablet with app pre-installed it makes it easy for my grandparents to see all the videos and photos I share without having to touch anything and the same goes for video calls that get automatically accepted. I can now do video calls whenever I want to show grandparents my son! Highly recommend this app.

Thanks to bond now I can now monitor my mum from my work. The auto connection mode is really helpful as my mum is 92 years old and she can hardly hear. Feel very much relief now.

As early adopter, we can see the possibilities ahead. It would be ideal as part of life in a nursing home too, so that residents and their families can regularly and easily be in touch.

It began not as a business idea, but as a personal need.

When my father started finding it harder to stay in touch, I realised how many families face the same quiet struggle every day. Existing solutions were either too complex or too expensive. None of them felt made for him.

That experience became BondNow.

We believe staying connected should never feel like hard work, especially for the people who need it most. Everyone deserves to feel close to the people they love, regardless of how comfortable they are with technology.

BondNow was built so that nobody has to feel far away from the people who matter most, because connection matters just as much as care.
