Writing about Bubbles? Everything here is yours to use: the words, the screens and the logo.
In one line
Bubbles is a private journal for what’s on your mind, and a shared space to turn it into plans with your people: trips, flatshares, birthdays and who owes who.
In a paragraph or three
Most plans start as a thought, or a “we should” in a group chat, and that’s where they get lost. Links get buried, decisions go fuzzy, nobody remembers who said they’d book it, and the money is somewhere else again.
Bubbles gives the thought somewhere to land first. You put things down in a private journal: a note, a voice memo, a photo, a place, a list, a reminder. When something needs other people, you start a Bubble around it, send a link, and let each person in. Inside, you can ask with a poll, keep the list, pin the places, split a bill and see who owes who.
There’s no account and no password. Your journal stays on your phone until you choose to share. Bubbles is free, made by an independent family maker, and in an invite-only beta on the web.

Privacy, plainly
- Your journal is private by default and stays on your phone until you choose to share it.
- What you share or sync is encrypted on your device before it leaves. Our relay passes it on but can’t read it.
- No account, no password, no email address asked for.
- No ads, no selling data, no trackers. This website sets no cookies and loads nothing from anywhere else.
- When something breaks, the app reports only the version, the screen and the type of error: nothing anyone wrote, nothing that says who they are.
- No money moves through Bubbles.
The Privacy notice says the rest in full.
Asked often
- What is Bubbles, in a sentence?
- Bubbles is a private journal for what’s on your mind, and a shared space to turn it into plans with your people: trips, flatshares, birthdays and who owes who.
- How do people get in?
- Anyone can open Bubbles and keep their own journal. Joining someone else’s Bubble takes their invite link, and the person who sent it lets you in. That’s what invite-only means here.
- Does it cost anything?
- No. Everything Bubbles does is free. A Shop of optional looks is coming; nothing in it is a feature, and buying isn’t open yet.
- Why no account?
- Because you shouldn’t have to hand over an email address to write something down. Your things live on your phone, and a recovery kit gets them back on a new one.
- Where does people’s data go?
- The journal stays on the device until you share something. Things in a shared Bubble are encrypted on your device and pass through our relay, which can’t read them, to the people in it. Bubbles doesn’t sell data, show ads or track people around the web.
- Does it use AI?
- Everything works without it. If you want, you can connect an AI of your own; what you ask goes from your device straight to the provider you chose, never through us.
- Does money move through Bubbles?
- No. Bubbles keeps track of who paid and who owes who. Paying each other back happens however you already do it.
- Is there an app in the stores?
- Not yet. Bubbles runs in the browser and can be added to the home screen. An Android test through Google Play and an iPhone test through TestFlight come next.
- Who’s behind it?
- The Rentalas, a family, as an independent maker. There’s no company in between; the About page says exactly who you’re dealing with.
