What it is

A little notebook for friendship.

BestFriendFile is a private place to remember the things your best friends love. Friends fill out a profile of their favorites, and only the friends they approve can see it — so birthdays and gifts always feel personal. It's a notebook, not social media: no public profiles, no strangers, no feeds, no ads.

Features

Everything to be a thoughtful friend.

Safety & privacy

Built to be safe — and we mean it.

BestFriendFile is private by design. There's no feed to scroll, no strangers to meet, and nothing to perform. Just a warm, quiet place for the friends you already have.

  • Private by defaultProfiles are never public. Only the friends you approve can ever see your file.
  • Only approved friendsFriends connect by a private code — request, then accept. No stranger search.
  • No ads, strangers, or feedsNo like counts, no followers, no streaks, no endless scroll. Nothing to sell.
  • Block & report built inAnyone can be blocked or reported in a tap — kids are always in charge.
  • Delete everything, anytimeYou can delete your account and all of your data whenever you like.

We collect the minimum.

BestFriendFile asks for nicknames and favorites — and that's about it. We never ask for:

Last names Home address School Phone number Location Birth year
Birthdays are saved as month + day only — just enough to celebrate, never enough to identify.
Pip, the BestFriendFile notebook mascot

"It's a notebook, not a feed."

For parents & guardians

Peace of mind, by design.

We built BestFriendFile so you can say "yes" with confidence. Here's how it keeps your child safe, in plain language:

1
No strangers, everFriends are added by private code and every request is approved by your child. There is no public search and no way for strangers to find them.
2
No ads or data sellingBestFriendFile has no advertising and no third-party trackers profiling your child. We're not in the attention business.
3
The bare minimum of dataNicknames and favorites — never last names, address, school, phone, location, or birth year. You can delete it all at any time.

Start your file.

Remember the little things — and give the gifts your friends will treasure.
