Friendship is the only social metric nobody owns yet.

Every platform measures reach, followers, and likes. Nobody measures whether you actually showed up for the people in your life. That's the gap we're building for.

Budd and friends — the Buddzy mascot

Our story

We are two parents of teenagers. We watched what algorithmic social apps did to our kids' friendships — the anxiety of vanity metrics, the performance, the feeds that reward attention and starve the relationships that actually matter. So we built the opposite: a game where the only thing you can measure is whether you showed up for your friends.

No feed, no followers, no strangers. Stars can't be bought. Friendships are private. And the app works from day one, even before your friends have joined — the Stars you give them wait until they do.

Live on iOS and Android. Not a prototype — a shipped product, a French company in Paris, and 286 help articles.
