Why We Built Friends Weekly

Life gets busy, and staying in touch with loved ones often takes a backseat. We've all experienced that moment at a gathering where you catch up with a good friend but realize it's been months—or even years—since you really connected.

Social media platforms promise connection but often leave us feeling drained or distracted by public feeds and viral content. We wanted a better solution: something private, simple, and intentional.

"Stay in touch. Stay present. Stay human."
