Looking for a Bento.me alternative?
Bento announced it would shut down and, according to public reports, its pages stopped working in February 2026. If you lost a bento-style bio, Debuto lets you rebuild a modern page with a freely arranged set of blocks.

Switching
Start from a template and rebuild your tiles as blocks. Your new address will be debuto.app/yourname, and you can keep the old Bento link out of your bio.
Save your content somewhere you control. Whatever tool you choose, keep a copy of your text and images, because a service can close.
Questions
Can I get my old Bento page back?
No. Debuto cannot recover content from a closed service. You can rebuild it from your own copies of the text and images.
Is the layout a grid like Bento?
Debuto pages are a vertical stack of blocks, some of which (gallery, product grid, portfolio) display grids. It is not a free-form tile canvas.
