## What is Stride?

Chat, reflect, practice conversations, and build a bond with a virtual pet companion that can remember moments you choose to keep.

Stride is a companion-first virtual pet game built around chat, guided reflection, conversation practice, collection, and bond. Use it to talk through your day, rehearse important moments, save reflections, and keep a cozy companion close on iPhone, widgets, and Apple Watch.

TALK WITH YOUR PET
Share quick thoughts, daily wins, worries, or jokes. Your pet replies in character, builds shared history with you, and can use memories you choose to keep.

PRACTICE CONVERSATIONS
Try the words before the moment with guided scenarios for friends, family, dating, roommates, and other real-life talks. Review what landed, what felt unclear, and a clear line to use.

PET MEMORY NOTES
After meaningful chats, your pet may suggest a note. You decide what to keep and what to forget.

COMPANION JOURNAL & GUIDED REFLECTION
Save your own reflections and preview companion journal moments. Stride Pro unlocks extended chat and full journal access.

PET STUDIO & COLLECTION
Create one-of-a-kind pets with themes like astronaut, chef, pirate, robot, royal, and more. Hatch eggs, build your collection, and find the companion that fits your style.

ALWAYS CLOSE BY
Use Home Screen widgets and Apple Watch support to keep your pet close throughout the day.

FREE TO START
Core companion chat, reflection, practice, and pet care are free to start. Optional Stride Pro adds extended chat and full journal access; creation packs add custom pet credits. No third-party ads.
