keep what mattered.

The small dinners and the big days both go by, and then they're gone. BoredApp is where you keep them, on purpose: every event, who came, what was said, everyone's photos. Year after year, it adds up to a life.

most of it just disappears.

Take one birthday. A year on, here's where it lives.

  • the camera roll

  • the group chat

  • the inbox

  • the calendar

  • the shared album

  • the text messages

Six places. None of them is keeping it.

Keeping it is a decision. This is where you make it.

why should I try BoredApp?

Everything the six places lost, in one record — assembled while you planned, not afterwards.

what keeping it looks like

this is the memory archive.

Every event you keep lands in one place — the photos, the chat, who came. The ones that repeat link into a series; the ones that travel link into a trip. Nobody kept it. It kept itself.

the yearly ones

Birthdays, anniversaries, the family reunion.

the weekly crew

Golf Saturdays, pickleball nights, the run club.

the standing one

The monthly dinner. Even the company all-hands.

Twenty past events? One card, one timeline.

Repeat an event or link the past ones in two taps — tag the series once and it rides the whole run.

A BoredApp series timeline — Oliver's 3rd through 6th birthdays stacked in order, each year with its date, venue, guest count, and a strip of photos
A BoredApp series timeline — four Tuesdays of a run club, each with who went and everyone's photos

Four birthdays or four Tuesdays — everyone who came sees the timeline too. Not just the host.

a note from the founder

it turned out the small ones mattered most.

I built this for the big days. Then I looked at what I'd actually kept. The morning walk with my wife. Visiting Oma with my son. Coffee with old friends. Some of the funniest things we've ever caught are in there. The birthday gets a hundred photos anyway. An ordinary Tuesday gets none, and there are three hundred of them a year. That's most of a life.

That was the surprise. The big days are in here too, and it's great for those. But the small ones are what nobody keeps today, and kept, they compound. The people in them see it too.

what can I do with my AI?

The whole life of an event, one sentence at a time. Claude, ChatGPT, or any assistant you already use — plugged into your BoredApp, planning as you.

planning it

  • “Build the trip from these confirmations.”

    Seven legs, right time zones, one timeline — from the booking pile you forwarded.

  • “Dinner Friday at 7 with Sam, Priya and the Okafors.”

    The event, made, everyone invited, waiting in the app.

  • “My usual packing list for three days at the cottage with the family.”

    Your AI already knows the list, and who carries what. It lands on the event as a checklist, each person’s things assigned to them.

  • “Where should we eat? Two Mexican, two Mediterranean, let them vote.”

    Four real places, one poll, the group decides.

  • “Send the group a questionnaire: allergies, plus-ones, arrival time.”

    Every guest answers in the app. The host sees it all in one place.

living it

  • “Dinner moved to eight, and we’re on the patio now.”

    The event updates for everyone going. No group text needed.

  • “Tell the group I’m running twenty minutes late.”

    A message in the event chat, from you, typed by nobody.

  • “Find a brunch place near the hotel for ten of us, and post it to the group.”

    Your AI does the looking. The pick lands on the event for everyone going, labelled as your AI.

keeping it

  • “Where did we eat in July?”

    It reads your archive back to you. The past is a question away.

  • “Make a recap of the party, everyone’s photos.”

    One page, in the look you pick, for everyone who was there. Free.

  • “Remember I don’t do late dinners or downtown parking.”

    A standing profile it plans around, every time.

Your AI knows you. BoredApp never has to.

the archive's other shape

seven legs. one trip.

Two flights and five stays shouldn't live in a confirmation-email graveyard. A Trip lines every leg up in order — one timeline that always knows what's next, from the airport lounge to the last hotel checkout.

  • Every leg is a real event

    Chat, tasks, RSVPs, one-tap navigation, a photo album — each leg carries all of it.

  • Everyone sees the same trip

    Invite your travel companions and the whole run is theirs too — including what's up next.

  • It becomes the memory

    Seven legs of photos land in order. The trip you planned turns into the trip you remember.

drop in the receipt. everyone ticks theirs.

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to BoredApp once, then hand it the bill and say how to split it: evenly, by what each person had, or “I’ve got this one.” The event shows who paid what and who owes whom, and nobody has to do the math at the table.

  • Your AI reads the receipt

    Hand Claude or ChatGPT the bill and say how to split it. The expenses land on the event.

  • Everyone ticks their own

    Shared plates split between whoever ticked them; tax and tip follow each share.

  • The fewest payments

    One number per person and the fewest transfers to settle. A trip settles as one tab.

  • Pay your usual way

    Opens PayPal or Venmo, or copies an e-Transfer email and the amount. No money moves through BoredApp.

someone was supposed to bring the cake.

Every event gets a checklist. Assign items to one friend or several and watch them tick off live — when “bring the ice” is on Bob and Carol, you can see whether both have it covered.

  • One checklist per event

    Or many, organised by category — packing, food, kids, whatever.

  • Assign to one or many

    Drop a task on a single person, or split it between several friends.

  • Per-person checkboxes

    Shared tasks get a checkbox per assignee — no more double-bookings.

  • Live updates
