## What is HugTime?

HugTime turns hugs into a daily ritual.

A 20-second hug releases oxytocin — the calm-and-connection hormone. HugTime helps you make that small, powerful moment a daily habit with the people and pets you love.

How it works
- Add the people and pets in your life
- Set a gentle daily reminder
- Tap "Start the hug" — a calm 20-second countdown plays
- Watch your streak grow

Designed to feel calm, not pushy
- No streak-loss panic — the Grace Law freezes your streak when you miss a day instead of breaking it
- Warm, Apple-quiet design — no notifications spam, no guilt
- Built for real life with partners, kids, parents, friends, and pets
- Private by default — all your data stays on your device
