Everyone you know, on one map.
Your people already cluster: school, work, family, the block you live on. Ripples draws those clusters as islands, puts you at the center, and shows the ties that cross between them.
Free to start. Ripples is part of Pro: $10/mo.
The map draws itself.
There is no canvas to arrange and nothing to lay out. Ripples is built from the contacts and relationships already in YourPond. Add a sibling, note that two people worked together, and the map has it the next time you open it.
Which is also the honest answer to what it takes: the map is only as full as what you have put in. YourPond Care is the part that helps you fill it in.
How do these two know each other?
Pick two people. Ripples traces the shortest path between them, names each hop, rates how strong the link is, and tells you what they have in common: the years they overlapped at the same school, the city they both live in.
Follow one person’s threads.
Focus on someone and the rest of the map steps back. You get their immediate circle, named, including the ties that run to a different island entirely. That is usually where the surprise is.
Questions people ask.
What is Ripples?
Ripples is YourPond's relationship map. It draws everyone in your contacts as one picture, grouped into the islands they actually belong to (the college crew, the office, family), with you at the center.
Do I have to draw the map myself?
No. The map is built from the contacts and relationships you have already added. Add a person or a relationship anywhere in YourPond and the map redraws.
What are degrees of separation?
Pick two people and Ripples traces the shortest path between them through the people you know, labels each hop, rates how strong the connection is, and lists what the two of them have in common.
Is Ripples included in the free plan?
No. Ripples is part of Pro, which is $10/month or $100/year. YourPond is free up to 25 contacts, and adding people and relationships on the free plan is what builds the map you unlock.
Start with the people you have.
Import your contacts, add a few relationships, and see what the map already knows.
