Your good friends
deserve more than
a text.
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.
Not because anyone stopped caring. Because someone has to send the message first. And then wait. And propose a time. And then another time. And then forget entirely.
83%
of adults say they'd call close friends more if scheduling was easier.
"Just 10 minutes. So you know there's no pressure for it to eat your whole day."
How it works
Four steps. Then it just happens.
01
Invite a friend.
Send them a simple link. They sign up in 60 seconds — no separate app to learn, no lengthy onboarding.
02
Set your free windows.
Tell Ketchup when you're generally free — weekday mornings, Sunday afternoons, whenever. Set it once, it repeats weekly.
03
Ketchup finds the overlap.
Ketchup finds the first mutual 10-minute window and books the call. No messages. It just appears on both calendars.
04
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.
Why it works
Three ideas that make
friendship actually happen.
10
Ten minutes is enough.
Short enough to say yes to. Long enough to matter. Removing the time-commitment anxiety is what makes people actually pick up.
0
Zero back-and-forth.
You both set your availability windows once. Ketchup finds the mutual overlap and books the call. Nobody sends the first message.
2
Just the two of you.
No group chat noise. No audience. One-on-one calls — the kind where you actually share what's going on in your life.
Real calls, real people
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."
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 removal of social pressure was everything."
Amara, 27
Designer, London
