Be aware, so you can always care. Hi, we are Šárka & Jiří and we created this app for all of us who want to truly be there for each other. Join our mission to end the loneliness pandemic. Be aware! Our BeAware app allows sharing your "battery level” with your loved ones. The battery represents your overall well-being. Sharing your battery level fosters a sense of care and connection among the ones you share it with, promoting awareness and deeper understanding. All that leading to meaningful real life interactions and deepening of relationships. Thanks to BeAware, you are always attuned to each other, allowing you to care in the most adequate and thoughtful way. Best BeAware features: - Stay attuned - Using BeAware allows you to stay up to “the level” with each other and always know if something good or bad is going on. - React immediately - Lates BeAware feature is the “I am aware” heart icon. By tapping on it you react to someone’s small or big battery level change, letting them know you are aware of it. This way they feel seen and loved at the very moment something is going on. - Feel the peace - BeAware gives you a sense of peace by allowing you to always see the battery level of your connections - your loved ones. There is nothing that warms the heart as much as seeing everyone you care about doing well and having a “green battery”. - Have no worries - To let you have a peace on mind. You receive an alert whenever someone’s battery level drops too low, so you never miss the opportunity to be there for them when they need it the most. This feature works both ways. What other features would you want BeAware app to have? Give BeAware a star rating and let us know your ideas and feedback in the review! We are two humans here and we are here to listen - we create BeAware for you!
