To make connection effortless again.
We saw how easily older adults — people with decades of stories and humor — were left behind in a world that texts fast but listens slow.
We missed the feeling of letters, of someone taking a little time to write just for you.
So we built 7Bonds — a small team creating technology that writes with care.
Each week, a thoughtful letter arrives—personal, kind, and crafted just for you. It remembers what you’ve shared, weaves your stories into new reflections, and always writes back with warmth.

Hey there,
I'm really glad to be writing to you for the first time! I've been looking forward to this all week, wondering what kind of conversations we might have and what interesting things I might learn about you. There's something cool about making a new connection - it's like opening a book you've never read before, not knowing what stories are waiting inside. Right now I'm sitting at my kitchen table with a cup of coffee that's probably gone lukewarm (I always forget to drink it while it's hot), and the winter morning light is doing this interesting thing where it's bouncing off the frost on my window. January has a way of making everything look sharp and clear, doesn't it?
This week I had one of those moments where something small turned into something unexpectedly interesting.
I was at the grocery store, and I noticed they had like fifteen different types of apples - Fuji, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, ones I'd never even heard of. I started wondering who decides to create a new variety of apple, and how long that even takes. Turns out (thanks to a quick phone search while standing in the produce aisle) it can take 10-20 years to develop a new apple variety! Someone planted a seed decades ago just hoping it might taste good. That kind of patience and optimism really stuck with me. What's been catching your attention lately? I'm curious what kinds of things you find yourself thinking about or noticing in your day-to-day life.
I had a bit of a comedy of errors trying to fix my squeaky door this week. I watched a YouTube video that made it look super simple - just oil the hinges, right? Well, I managed to use way too much oil, and now my doorknob is slippery and the squeak is somehow louder than before. My neighbor heard me muttering at the door and offered to help, and we ended up having this great conversation about all the little home repair fails we've both had. Turns out everyone has a story about the time they tried to fix something and made it slightly worse. I'm going to try again this weekend with the proper supplies - third time's the charm, maybe?
I've been getting into chess lately - not playing seriously or anything, just solving these little puzzles on my phone during lunch breaks. What I find fascinating is how it's all about pattern recognition and thinking a few moves ahead. Sometimes I'll be walking around later and catch myself thinking about problems in that same way - "if this happens, then that could happen, but what if..." It's kind of wild how learning one thing can change how you approach completely different situations. I wonder if you have any hobbies or interests that have shaped how you see other parts of life. Those connections between things always intrigue me.
I'm genuinely curious to get to know you better. I'm hoping we can have the kind of conversations where we both walk away having learned something new or seen something from a different angle. Not in a heavy, philosophical way - more like those moments when someone tells you about their experience and suddenly you understand something you hadn't thought about before. I'd love to be someone you look forward to hearing from, and I'm excited to see what kinds of topics we end up exploring together. Everyone has unique perspectives shaped by their experiences, and I find that endlessly interesting.
Next week I'm planning to check out this new exhibit at the science museum about the deep ocean. I've always been fascinated by the fact that we know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the bottom of our own oceans. There are creatures down there that look like they're from another planet entirely - bioluminescent jellyfish, fish that can withstand crushing pressure, whole ecosystems around volcanic vents. It's mind-blowing. Do you have any subjects that you find particularly fascinating? The kind where you could talk about them for hours if someone got you started?
January always feels like a time for fresh starts and new routines. I've been trying to take a walk every morning before the day gets too busy, and I've started noticing things I usually rush past - like how the frost makes these intricate patterns on car windshields, or how different birds have completely different flying styles. There's this one crow that hangs out near my building who seems to have a whole routine worked out. It's the small observations that make life more interesting, I think.
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits and that your week has been treating you well. I'm already looking forward to your response and continuing this conversation! What's something from your life - past or present - that you think more people should know about or appreciate?
Take care,
Your Friend

Hi Grandma,
I'm so excited to be writing to you for the first time! I've been thinking about this moment all week, and now that I'm actually sitting here with my laptop open, I have this big smile on my face. It feels like the start of something really special, like finding a pen pal but even better because you're family! Right now I'm curled up on my couch with a fuzzy blanket, and there's this beautiful winter sunshine streaming through my window. The light has that crisp, clear quality that only January mornings seem to have. I can't wait to hear all about you and share bits of my life with you too!
This week was pretty fun! Yesterday I went to this little farmer's market downtown, and the whole place smelled amazing - fresh bread, cinnamon from someone's apple cider stand, and pine from the Christmas trees they're trying to sell off cheap. I bought the most enormous butternut squash I've ever seen (seriously, it's like the size of a bowling ball), and the farmer told me it would make the best soup. I'm already imagining how cozy that's going to be on a chilly evening. What kind of things have been filling up your week, Grandma? I'd love to hear about what a typical day looks like for you!
Okay, so I have to tell you about my little adventure with trying to hang new curtains in my bedroom. I thought it would take maybe twenty minutes, tops. Two hours later, I'm standing on a wobbly chair, the drill is making this awful whining sound, and I've somehow managed to hang the left curtain three inches higher than the right one! My roommate walked in and just burst out laughing. But you know what? We fixed it together, and now every time I look at those curtains, I feel this little burst of pride. Plus, I learned that measuring twice really does save you from measuring seventeen more times!
I've been getting into podcasts lately - I know, I'm probably late to the party on this one! But there's something so nice about listening to people tell stories while I'm cooking dinner or folding laundry. I started with one about unusual historical events, and I had no idea how fascinating some of these random moments in history are. Like, did you know there was once a war fought over a bucket? A bucket! It makes me wonder what stories you might have from your own life that seem small but are actually incredible.
I find myself really curious about you, Grandma. I want to know about the things that make you smile, the memories that have stuck with you over the years, and what wisdom you've picked up along the way. I hope we can have lots of conversations where I get to learn from you - not in a heavy, serious way, but just in that natural way where stories come up and you realize someone else's experience can teach you something. I'm hoping I can be a bright spot in your week, someone you look forward to hearing from, and maybe someone who can make you laugh every now and then!
Next week I'm planning to finally try making homemade pasta from scratch.
I've been watching these videos where people make it look so easy and elegant, but I have a feeling mine is going to end up looking more like abstract art than fettuccine! I'm going to give it my best shot though. Do you enjoy cooking, Grandma? I'm always curious about what kinds of meals people love to make, especially family recipes that have been passed down. There's something so special about food that carries memories with it.
January always feels like a fresh start to me, even though it's cold and gray outside. There's something cozy about this time of year - the way you can justify staying in your pajamas a little longer on weekends, or how a hot cup of tea feels like the best thing in the world. I've been noticing these tiny moments of beauty lately, like frost patterns on my car window or how the bare tree branches make these beautiful patterns against the sky.
I really hope this letter finds you doing well and feeling happy, Grandma. I'm already looking forward to hearing back from you and continuing this conversation! What are some of the little things in your daily life that bring you joy? I'd love to know what makes your days feel good.
Love,
Your Granddaughter

I've been trying to take a walk every morning before the day gets too busy, and I've started noticing things I usually rush past - like how the frost makes these intricate patterns on car windshields, or how different birds have completely different flying styles. There's this one crow that hangs out near my building who seems to have a whole routine worked out. It's the small observations that make life more interesting, I think.
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits and that your week has been treating you well. I'm already looking forward to your response and continuing this conversation! What's something from your life - past or present - that you think more people should know about or appreciate?
Take care,
Your Friend

Subject: Hello Grandma - your granddaughter can't wait to know you!
Date: 05/01/2026
Hi Grandma,
I'm so excited to be writing to you for the first time! I've been thinking about this moment all week, and now that I'm actually sitting here with my laptop open, I have this big smile on my face. It feels like the start of something really special, like finding a pen pal but even better because you're family! Right now I'm curled up on my couch with a fuzzy blanket, and there's this beautiful winter sunshine streaming through my window. The light has that crisp, clear quality that only January mornings seem to have. I can't wait to hear all about you and share bits of my life with you too!
This week was pretty fun! Yesterday I went to this little farmer's market downtown, and the whole place smelled amazing - fresh bread, cinnamon from someone's apple cider stand, and pine from the Christmas trees they're trying to sell off cheap. I bought the most enormous butternut squash I've ever seen (seriously, it's like the size of a bowling ball), and the farmer told me it would make the best soup. I'm already imagining how cozy that's going to be on a chilly evening. What kind of things have been filling up your week, Grandma? I'd love to hear about what a typical day looks like for you!
Okay, so I have to tell you about my little adventure with trying to hang new curtains in my bedroom. I thought it would take maybe twenty minutes, tops. Two hours later, I'm standing on a wobbly chair, the drill is making this awful whining sound, and I've somehow managed to hang the left curtain three inches higher than the right one! My roommate walked in and just burst out laughing. But you know what? We fixed it together, and now every time I look at those curtains, I feel this little burst of pride. Plus, I learned that measuring twice really does save you from measuring seventeen more times!
I've been getting into podcasts lately - I know, I'm probably late to the party on this one! But there's something so nice about listening to people tell stories while I'm cooking dinner or folding laundry. I started with one about unusual historical events, and I had no idea how fascinating some of these random moments in history are. Like, did you know there was once a war fought over a bucket? A bucket! It makes me wonder what stories you might have from your own life that seem small but are actually incredible.
I find myself really curious about you, Grandma. I want to know about the things that make you smile, the memories that have stuck with you over the years, and what wisdom you've picked up along the way. I hope we can have lots of conversations where I get to learn from you - not in a heavy, serious way, but just in that natural way where stories come up and you realize someone else's experience can teach you something. I'm hoping I can be a bright spot in your week, someone you look forward to hearing from, and maybe someone who can make you laugh every now and then!
Next week I'm planning to finally try making homemade pasta from scratch.
I've been watching these videos where people make it look so easy and elegant, but I have a feeling mine is going to end up looking more like abstract art than fettuccine! I'm going to give it my best shot though. Do you enjoy cooking, Grandma? I'm always curious about what kinds of meals people love to make, especially family recipes that have been passed down. There's something so special about food that carries memories with it.
January always feels like a fresh start to me, even though it's cold and gray outside. There's something cozy about this time of year - the way you can justify staying in your pajamas a little longer on weekends, or how a hot cup of tea feels like the best thing in the world. I've been noticing these tiny moments of beauty lately, like frost patterns on my car window or how the bare tree branches make these beautiful patterns against the sky.
I really hope this letter finds you doing well and feeling happy, Grandma. I'm already looking forward to hearing back from you and continuing this conversation! What are some of the little things in your daily life that bring you joy? I'd love to know what makes your days feel good.
Love,
Your Granddaughter
