wavepal
Ever feel bad about losing touch with people you care about?
Keeping up with friends and family shouldn’t feel this hard.
You want to be a great friend, sibling, co-worker, or old college buddy. But life gets busy, and—let’s be honest—out of sight, out of mind.
Not because you don’t care. You just need a little help.
That’s why we’re building wavepal.
It’s an app designed to help you maintain your personal relationships without guilt, without pressure—just a simple, friendly way to stay connected with the people who matter most.
Because staying in touch shouldn’t feel like a chore.
If you’ve ever thought...
- “I should really check in with [friend], it’s been ages”
- “I don’t want to be the person who only reaches out when I need something”
- “I wish I was better at keeping in touch”
- “Why can’t I just be the kind of friend I want to be?”
...then wavepal is for you.
