Some days you don't need the right words. Just a hello.
Messages pile up, and replies wait for the right moment. A Jambo doesn't have to. It's a single hello that says “I'm thinking of you” to the people who matter, across town or across the world.
Why Jambo
Small hellos. Real connection.
A simple, private app that feels at home on your iPhone and iPad, built for the friends you don't want to drift from.
Just a hello
Jambo is the only message. No typing and no searching for the right words. It simply tells a friend you're thinking of them.
A streak for every friend
Each friendship keeps its own streak. Send a Jambo back within 24 hours and it grows, whatever time zone you're each in.
Stars for the good days
Some days you can't stop saying hello. Jambo back and forth more than once and earn up to three stars for the day.
Your story together
See your last two weeks, your longest streak, how quickly you each reply and the day of your first Jambo. Milestones mark 7, 30 and 100 days.
Gentle reminders
Know when a friend is waiting to hear from you, and get a daily nudge to reach out if you'd like one.
Private by design
No sign-up, no ads and no tracking. Each friendship lives in iCloud, shared only between the two of you. We can't see it.
How it works
Say hello. Hear back. Stay close.
There's nothing to set up. Invite a friend and you're ready.
01
Invite a friend
Share your link by Messages, WhatsApp or any app. When they tap it, you're connected.
02
Send a Jambo
Tap the wave next to their name. They get a notification that you're thinking of them.
03
Hear back
When they send a Jambo back within 24 hours, your streak grows by a day.
04
Stay close
Day by day, the small hellos add up to staying in each other's lives.
