A small sign each day for the people who matter to you. Bearhugme is your daily tap. Tap the bear once a day, and your Lieblingsmenschen know you're okay, without another call, text or "just checking" message. Your Lieblingsmenschen are the people you choose. You tap for them, they tap for you, and you see each other's sign. If a tap is missing, Bearhugme lets them know, so they can check in. You decide when: the same day, the next day, after a few days, or never. NEW: SHOW HOW YOU'RE DOING After your tap, share your mood with one more tap: Great, Pretty good, Okay-ish or Hanging in there. Each Lieblingsmensch also has a quiet chat with you for small pings like "Thinking of you", hearts and replies. 5 pings a month are free. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap the bear once a day when you're okay. 2. Invite your Lieblingsmenschen by email. Every connection goes both ways. 3. You see each other's daily tap and mood in the app. 4. If a tap is missing, your Lieblingsmenschen get a message so they know to check in. WHO IT IS FOR - For people living alone who want to stay independent, but not disappear without a trace. - For family, parents, siblings or close friends who live far away and want to know things are okay. - For long-distance relationships, travel or living abroad, when one small daily sign helps a lot. - For anyone who wants a simple daily routine that gives everyone a bit more peace of mind. PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) The daily tap, your Lieblingsmenschen's status and the message when a tap is missing stay free. With Premium, your mood becomes a moment: add a few words about what made your day good. You can also write pings and replies in your own words and send as many pings as you like. One subscription covers you and up to 4 Lieblingsmenschen, chosen by you. Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. CALM SAFETY Bearhugme helps you and your Lieblingsmenschen feel safer without turning care into monitoring. No location tracking, no ads, no public feed. Just your daily tap and the people you choose. PRIVACY Bearhugme stores what the app needs to work: your name, email address, your taps, and the moods and messages you share with your Lieblingsmenschen. No ads. No selling your data. You can delete your account and data at any time. WHAT BEARHUGME IS NOT Bearhugme is not an emergency service or a medical product. It does not replace local emergency numbers or professional medical help. In an emergency, always contact emergency services directly.
