Your good friends deserve more than a text.
Ketchup automatically schedules 10-minute calls with the people you keep meaning to call — no calendar ping-pong needed.
Free to start. No credit card required.
"We hadn't talked in eight months. Ketchup booked us a call for Tuesday."
Marcus, 34
Somehow "let's catch up soon" became never.
You have friends you love — people who shaped who you are. But somewhere between jobs, kids, time zones, and just the weight of daily life, the calls stopped coming. Not because anyone stopped caring.
Because someone has to send the message first. And then wait for a reply. And propose a time. And then a different time. And then forget about it entirely.
Ketchup removes that friction completely. You each say when you're free and how often you want to connect. Ketchup finds the overlap and locks in the call. Ten minutes, guaranteed. No apps to open, no threads to chase.
"Just 10 minutes. So you know there's no pressure for it to eat your whole day."
The idea behind every Ketchup call.
83%
of adults say they'd call close friends more if scheduling was easier.
Three ideas that make friendship actually happen.
10
Ten minutes is enough.
A 10-minute call keeps you in each other's lives without the time commitment that makes you hesitate to book it. Short enough to say yes to. Long enough to matter.
0
Zero back-and-forth.
You both set your availability windows once. Ketchup finds the mutual overlap and books the call automatically. Nobody has to send the first message.
2
Just the two of you.
No group chat noise. No audience. Ketchup schedules one-on-one calls — the kind where you actually share what's going on in your life.
Four steps. Then it just happens.
Invite a friend.
Send a simple link to someone you've been meaning to call. They sign up in 60 seconds — no elaborate onboarding, no separate app to learn.
Set your free windows.
Tell Ketchup when you're generally free — weekday mornings, Sunday afternoons, whenever. You set it once; it repeats each week automatically.
Ketchup finds the overlap.
Ketchup compares both your schedules, finds the first mutual 10-minute window, and books the call. No messages needed. It just appears on both calendars.
Pick up the phone.
You get a gentle reminder. Your friend gets one too. You call. You catch up. You remember why you love this person.
The calls people almost never had.
"My best friend from college lives across the country. We talked more in one Ketchup month than in the two years before."
Priya, 31
Product manager, Chicago
"I was skeptical that 10 minutes could feel meaningful. After the call I sat there smiling for a while. It was exactly what I needed."
James, 38
Teacher, Portland
"I hadn't spoken to my sister in six weeks. Ketchup booked us a call without either of us having to be the one to 'reach out first.' That remove of social pressure was everything."
Amara, 27
Designer, London
