Bonfire - Friend Groups

The group chat your friends already have, but better. Plan the trip, save the photos, settle the dinner vote. No randoms. No spam. No algorithm. No bots. Just the crew.

Your friend group has a group chat. It's a mess. Photos buried under six months of memes. Plans lost in a thousand "lol"s. The "where do we eat" question that ends with everyone ordering separately.

Bonfire is the upgrade.

It's a private app for the friends you actually show up for. No public feed. No discovery. No followers. Just your crew.

— WHAT'S IN IT —

CHAT — Text, photos, replies, reactions, the works Pin the stuff worth keeping. Search when you need to find that one thing Mike said in 2024. Plus, app features are chat native. Intuitive cards from every feature live in the chcat. One place for EVERYTHING.

EVENTS — Plan a trip, drinks, a Friday. RSVPs are tracked properly. Send a real calendar invite. The photos taken around the event auto-group together.

ITINERARIES — A bachelor weekend can hold a hike, a concert, a dinner. Each item has its own time, location, and detail page.

SIDE THREADS — Trip planning shouldn't blow up the whole chat. Only the people going to the event see the planning thread. Everyone else doesn't have to mute the group for two weeks.

MEMORY VAULT — Chat photos disappear into the scroll. Save the keepers to your group's Vault forever. Save the best one-liners as quotes while you're at it.

CHALLENGES — Group goals with check-ins. Run X miles this month. 30-day streak on something dumb. See who actually shows up.

BOASTS & ROASTS — Post a W you're proud of. Or roast a friend mercilessly. Weekly leaderboard ranks the best of each. Voted by reactions.

POLLS — Where do we eat? Which Saturday? Who's bringing the speaker? Live tally, settle it in 30 seconds.

BIRTHDAYS — Set yours once. The group gets a card on the day. No more forgetting.

— WHO IT'S FOR —

Friend groups between 3 and 12 people. The ones who've been on trips together. The ones who know the inside jokes. The ones you'd actually invite to your wedding.

Not your work Slack. Not a Discord server full of strangers. Not "reconnecting" with someone from middle school.

— PRIVATE BY DEFAULT —

Every group is invite-only. No public profile. No recommendation algorithm. No discovery feed. Your group is just yours.

— NO ADS, NO TRACKING —

Free for groups up to a reasonable size. If you want more storage and some extras you can pay a few bucks a month. That's the whole business model. We're not selling your data.

— GET STARTED —

Open the app. Create a group. Send the code to your friends. You're up in two minutes.
