## What is Bearly?

Self-care is easier with company. Meet Bruno and Bella, two plush bears who live in a snowy little cabin and grow warmer every time you look after yourself.

TINY GOALS, BIG WARMTH
Drink a glass of water. Step outside. Go to bed on time. Every small goal you finish melts a little frost around the cabin and fills the bears' adventure meter. Not today? Skip it or snooze it, no guilt.

ADVENTURES AND POSTCARDS
When the meter is full, Bruno and Bella head off on their next adventure: sledding, ice fishing, building a snowman or watching the northern lights. Their first trip to each place brings a postcard, and every return trip brings a new letter that remembers your week.

COZY NIGHTS, NOT STREAK PRESSURE
Any kind thing you do for yourself makes a cozy night. Miss a day and Bruno keeps the fire going: one missed day a week is forgiven. Make a pinky paw promise and see how many cozy nights you can keep.

CHECK IN WITH THE WEATHER INSIDE
Stormy, rainy, cloudy, bright or sunny. The bears answer gently, remember and look in on you after a heavy day.

BREATHE, WRITE, REST
Slow breathing with the bears, paw notes for the good things, and a nightly tuck-in where the sky turns dark and the northern lights come out.

A CABIN THAT GROWS WITH YOU
Earn honey for caring for yourself and spend it on cocoa and honey cake for the bears, fairy lights, lanterns, floating hearts, fresh snowfall and new breathing rituals. Honey is earned in the app, never bought.

SEND A WARM PAW
Know someone who could use a little warmth? Send them a note from you and the bears, through Messages or any app you already use.

GENTLE NUDGES, IF YOU WANT THEM
One kind reminder a day, morning or evening, and none on days you have already done something for yourself.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your goals, moods and notes stay on your iPhone.

BEARLY PLUS, IF YOU WANT A LITTLE MORE
Plus adds the pocket aurora, Bella's pep talks and every ritual (4-7-8 and box breathing plus 12 extra paw note prompts), no honey needed. Choose Yearly with a free first week for new subscribers, Monthly, or pay once and keep Plus for life. Everything else in Bearly stays free.

Bearly Plus Yearly and Monthly are auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or when the free week ends if you start the trial. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Bearly Plus for Life is a one-time purchase that never renews.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-22

The pocket aurora now glows in the sky above the cabin and never tints the bears. Small fixes.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-09

A gentler, smoother Bearly:
- The bears stay softer after a hard day: a hug instead of a wave, no confetti and quieter replies.
- A note that sounds heavy is never quoted in the bears' letters.
- Tuck the bears in with just a goodnight, no text needed.
- A half-written note stays even if iOS closes the app.
- Clearer Bearly Plus screen. Moving from a subscription to Plus for life now says the subscription keeps renewing until you cancel it.
- Better with VoiceOver, larger text and Calmer cabin.
- Uses less battery: the cabin rests when you can't see it.
- Lots of small fixes.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-09

Meet Bearly Plus, an optional extra for cozy days:
- Pocket aurora: northern lights over the cabin, any time of day.
- Bella's pep talks: extra encouragement every time you check in.
- Every ritual included: 4-7-8 and box breathing plus 12 new paw note prompts, no honey needed.
Choose Yearly with a free first week for new subscribers, Monthly, or pay once for Plus for life. Got a code from a friend of the bears? Redeem it in Me. Everything else in Bearly stays free.
Also new:
- Calmer cabin: a setting in Me for less motion.
- Skip the name step if you like.
- Times follow your iPhone's 12- or 24-hour setting.
- Better with VoiceOver and Switch Control, and lots of small fixes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-02

A cozier Bearly:
- Any kind thing for yourself now counts as a cozy night, and a snow day forgives one missed day a week.
- Late nights count toward the day before.
- Adventures now last a few hours or overnight, and repeat trips bring a new letter that remembers your week. Browse older letters on each postcard.
- New in the cabin shop: cocoa and honey cake for the bears, Mr. Tuesday the snowman and a starry sky.
- Complete a goal with one tap, edit a goal's name, time and icon, unskip or unsnooze it, and undo a removal.
- Change your name, who talks first and your cozy-night promise in Me.
- Read or delete your paw notes. A note you started is kept if you close the sheet.
- Me now shows your best run of cozy nights and a month of inside weather.
- Better with VoiceOver and larger text.
- Gentler on heavy days: a breathing shortcut, quieter celebrations and a helpline link when a note sounds really heavy.
- Lots of small fixes.
