Everyone wants to talk to Berty.
Now you can take your mate with you, wherever life takes you.
Your Mate Berty is a personal and family life organiser from Bonnibel Pty Ltd in Brisbane, Australia. Tell Berty what’s on your mind, by voice or text, on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or the web, and he sorts it into your Hub, Streams and Top Three. Your data is stored in Australia, and Berty does his thinking here too.

Meet Berty: He sat at my feet.
Walk down any street with Berty and people stop. They smile, they ask what breed he is, and they talk to him before they talk to you.
Berty is my lilac Border Collie. He sat at my feet while I was building with AI: the computers talking, the screens glowing, one AI building something and another questioning it.
He was just there. Watching. Waiting. Keeping me company.
One day I looked down at him and thought:
“Okay buddy. You get your own app.”
It was funny. But it wasn’t really a joke. The same machines that could build companies could help a person organise their life: remember things, think things through, capture moments, understand context, and help when nobody else was available.
Because perhaps the greatest technology isn’t the technology that makes us look more impressive. It’s the technology that helps us live better.

On your wrist
Tap Berty on your Apple Watch, speak, and send it to Berty or a Stream. See your Briefing and Top Three at a glance.
What Berty does for you and your family: Your day, at a glance.
Your Hub
Open Berty and your day is waiting: your Morning Briefing, your Top Three and what’s next on your calendar. Tap play and Berty reads your Briefing to you.
On your Home Screen
Add Berty’s widgets to see your Briefing, Top Three and next event without opening the app, and tick things off right from your Home Screen. Keep Berty on your Lock Screen too, with details hidden while your phone is locked.
Your Streams
Thoughts, photos, documents and to-dos are sorted into Streams, your own projects, lists and areas of life. Each Stream keeps its to-dos, reminders and memories together, and Berty remembers where you put things.
Mail and calendar
Connect Outlook or Google Calendar so your Briefing knows your day. Gmail is in early access. Email is read-only, and nothing is ever sent from your email.
Your Pack: share Streams and chat with family and friends. Bring your people into the Pack.
Share the Streams you choose, like the shopping list, the holiday or the kids’ sport, and chat together in a private Pack chat.
Invitation only, with report and block on every message. Berty Family covers the whole household, up to five people.
