Frequently asked questions

Bored Mango is a curated link directory for curious people. We group hand-picked websites into moods (like games, learning, or rabbit holes) and categories so you can jump straight into something worth your time instead of scrolling the same three apps.

Search engines return millions of results. We return a short list we would actually send a friend — weird tools, great games, calming toys, and sites you did not know existed. Less hunting, more clicking.

Moods are broad starting points — “free online games,” “learn something new,” and similar vibes. Categories drill down into specific collections, like mini games or visual toys. Start with a mood when you are unsure; browse categories when you know the flavor you want.

Surprise me picks a random link from our directory and sends you there. Use it when you want the internet to choose for you. You can find it in the header or on the homepage masonry grid.

Fun facts are bite-sized trivia you can browse A–Z or open one at a time. They are separate from the link directory — a quick detour when you want something to read instead of somewhere to click.

No accounts, no paywall, no premium tier. Open the site and explore. If we ever change that, we will say so plainly on this page.

We add sites manually. A listing should load reliably, feel interesting, and be appropriate for a general audience when we include it. We prune dead links and revisit listings when something changes.

Yes — email feedback@boredmango.com with the URL and a sentence on why it belongs here. Not every suggestion makes the cut, but we read them all.

Maybe we have not found it yet (tell us). Maybe it is in the queue. Maybe it does not fit our bar for quality, safety, or uptime. The directory grows over time, so it is worth checking back.

No. We may use basic analytics on pages within Bored Mango itself. Once you click out to a third-party site, that site runs on its own rules. See Privacy for the full picture.

Sites move, rename, or disappear. Send the broken URL to feedback@boredmango.com and we will update or drop the listing.

We aim for general-audience picks, but third-party sites can change without warning. Parents and guardians should supervise younger browsers and read our Disclaimer before clicking out.

Continuously, in small batches — new links, refreshed descriptions, and removals when something goes stale. There is no fixed publish schedule; freshness is ongoing.

Yes. Layouts are built to work on phones, tablets, and desktops so you can browse from the couch or the desk.
