Commit · Tend · Keep

A place for the whole promise.

From “I'll do it” to what actually happened. With the people, knowledge, and next steps that make follow-through possible.

Promises with people in them

What you owe. What you're owed. The context, first move, and person behind every commitment.

Room to focus

Three cards on your Workbench. Plans that grow into braids. A next action when a promise feels stuck.

Small experiments, real learning

Make a pact with Future You. Practice, notice, and review. Persist, Pivot, or Pause. No streaks to protect.

Relationships you can tend

Connected notes, pictures, templates, and shelves. Time and energy alongside an honest account of what happened.

A walk before work. Time with your family. A skill you've wanted to learn. Make a small pact with Future You and give it a real run.

Choose a rhythm. Record what happened, what it cost, and what you noticed. At the review, decide whether to Persist, Pivot, or Pause.

No streaks. No scores. Evidence you can learn from.

Plans that expect to change

Reality gets a vote.

You promise to call the AC company. Then the technician discovers the drain is behind a wall. Keeping the first promise reveals the next one.

Boblo carries the thread forward. Add a first move, branch while the original stays open, or keep it and make the next commitment. The plan grows with what you learn.

An example of a plan growing from real experience.

Cord: A commitment between you and a person.
Braid: Commitments woven toward an outcome.
Mesh: People a part of your life brings together.
Shelf: Notes and knowledge kept for later.

Your memory, with a little help

Pick up where
you left off.

Find the note you can describe but can't quite name. Ask your assistant what you owe, what you're waiting on, or where a conversation ended.

Smart Find starts with an available on-device model, with optional cloud help when you need it. Boblo's MCP connector lets Claude and ChatGPT work with the same commitments and context you do.

Discover AI & search

“The note about the workshop we wanted to run.”Describe it in Smart Find.

“What did I promise Maya, and what am I waiting on?”Ask a connected assistant.

“Help me find the first move on this.”Work from the context already in Boblo.

Optional AI. Revocable connectors. Visible assistant contributions.

An honest record, without shame

Care has a place here.
So do your limits.

Keep the person in view.

A promise is part of a relationship. Know where you left things, remember birthdays, and reach out before another season slips by.

Let effort count.

What you tried, learned, kept, and released is evidence. What happened holds the story even when the outcome isn't finished.

Make the next yes an informed one.

See what you've taken on and what it costs in time and energy. Give an honest yes, or an honest “I don't know when I could.”

Your records stay yours. Stored on your devices, with end-to-end encrypted sync. You choose whether to connect an assistant or use cloud search. How your records are handled →

A few good questions

Get to know Boblo.

Commitment keeping, effort journaling, and a little more room to be human.

What is Boblo?

Boblo is a private commitment keeper for promises, relationships, daily practice, and the record of what happened. Commit, Tend, Keep. It connects each promise to a person and keeps the history of your effort, including what you kept, received, and released.

How is Boblo different from a task manager?

Boblo starts with who a promise is for and keeps both directions: what you owe and what others owe you. It combines commitments, relationship history, effort journaling, and small experiments. There are no overdue flags, streaks, or scores.

What can Boblo 0.16.4 do?

Track commitments and next steps, organize work into braids, keep people and groups in view, focus with a three-card Workbench, run pacts with daily practice, write connected notes, search with Smart Find, and work with Claude or ChatGPT through an optional connector.

What are pacts?

Pacts are small experiments with Future You. Set a hypothesis, a cadence, and a run length. Record practice and what you learn, then review and choose Persist, Pivot, or Pause. There are no streaks.

Can I use Boblo with Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Boblo's MCP connector lets an assistant read your records and help capture notes, manage commitments, and plan next actions. You authorize each connector and can revoke it.

Is my information private?

Your app records live on your devices, with end-to-end encrypted sync. People you write about cannot see your notes. Assistants you connect can read the records their tools expose; optional cloud search sends content to its configured provider. Sealed sections stay excluded from AI reads.

Do I need AI to use Boblo?

No. Commitments, notes, relationships, pacts, and ordinary search work without an AI assistant. Smart Find and assistant connectors are optional.

How can I get Boblo?

Boblo is in daily use on Mac, iPhone, and Android. Wider access is coming; join the early-access waitlist at boblo.app.

Why “Boblo”

A boat that carried people to good places.

As a kid, I rode the Bob-Lo boat to Bob-Lo Island with my family. Boblo is my version of that boat: a tool for carrying me, and the people I care about, to a better future. No one went to Boblo alone.

— Scott Novis, creator of Boblo
