A family bonding app for the scattered family
By Bottle Me
Families scatter — and bonding apps tend to be either toddler games or adult chat. A shared-bottle format works for any two family members of any age combination.
Pairs, not groups
Each bottle is for two people, which keeps exchanges intimate and low-pressure. A family runs several parallel bottles — sibling, parent, grandparent — each with its own thread.
The story exchange
Generate bottles from family stories and fill them in turns. The colouring becomes a way of passing down memories that a group chat cannot.
The family archive
Across months, the shared bottles accumulate into a visual family record. It is the closest a dispersed family gets to a shared shelf of keepsakes.
