Welcome to Bond Touch, we’re so glad you’re here!
You don’t need a bracelet to start. Download the app, create your profile, connect with your people, and explore. When you’re ready to send and feel touches, you can pair a Bond Touch bracelet or start Bond Touch Lite on your smartwatch.
Here’s how it works:
Download the app and look around
Create your profile
Add your people
Pair your bracelet or set up Bond Touch Lite (whenever you’re ready)
Step 1: Download the app and look around
Search “Bond Touch” in the App Store or Google Play Store.
Once installed, you can browse the app straight away, no account needed. Tap “Discover all features” to see what’s inside.
Step 2: Create your profile
When you’re ready, tap “Get started” and choose how you’d like to sign in:
Email: enter your email address and we’ll send you a verification code. Type it into the app to continue.
Google: sign in with your Google account.
Apple: sign in with your Apple ID.
Next, add your date of birth. We ask for it to check our age requirements: you need to be at least 13 (in the US) or 16 (everywhere else) to use Bond Touch without parental consent. If you’re younger, we’ll ask for a few extra details and send a consent form to your parent or guardian.
Finally, pick a username and a profile picture.
Didn’t get your code? Check your spam or promotions folder, and make sure you typed your email correctly. You can request a new code from the app.
Step 3: Add your people
Once connected and on your Home screen, tap “Add people” and invite your partner by adding their email. They just need to accept the received invitation.
Once you’re connected, here’s what you can use together:
Presence +: share your location and your meaningful places, with a 7-day free trial
Private space: messages and photos just for the two of you
Next encounter: count down to when you’re together again
Tips for the best experience
Keep the Bond Touch app running in the background on your phone.
Turn off Low Power Mode and Do Not Disturb, as they can delay touches.
Step 4: Pair your Bond Touch bracelet
Charge it first. Your bracelet may not arrive fully charged. Plug it into a computer, USB power adapter or power bank. The lights blink white while charging (this can take a few minutes the first time) and stay solid white when it’s full.
Then pair it:
Turn on Bluetooth and keep the bracelet within 10 ft (3 m) of your phone.
On your Home screen, tap the Bond Touch bracelet card, then “Pair a bracelet”.
Allow the app to use Bluetooth when your phone asks.
When we find your bracelet, double tap it to confirm it’s yours. You’ll see “Bracelet Found!”
Choose your color. Your bracelet lights up in this color when you send a touch, and your partner’s lights up in it when they receive one.
Allow the remaining permissions the app asks for (these vary by phone).
