Meet your new walking buddy. A round, devoted capybara whose whole world runs on your steps. Walk to work, take the long way home, pace your kitchen while the coffee brews. Every step brings your capy somewhere new, and there’s always a warm welcome when you come back. Your steps sync from Apple Health and fuel your capy’s journey along a winding path through meadows, gardens, and quiet corners of the world. The further you walk, the more there is to discover together. Along the way, collect flowers and plants to bring back to your capy’s garden, a cozy little world that’s yours to return to and make your own. You can also unlock outfits and small touches that make your capy feel even more like yours. New seasonal themes arrive every month, so there’s always something fresh to look forward to. Come back each day and watch your world grow a little more over time. Miss a day? Your capy is still there, still happy to see you, ready to pick right back up. Capybara Walk is low-pressure self-care gentle daily ritual for people who want a softer way to move, and a small, warm companion waiting for them when they do.

Glow provides short, immersive experiences that feel great to use, built around who you are, and aimed at one thing: helping you glow from the inside. It is not meditation. It's not therapy. It's something new. WHAT IS GLOW Glow creates a space that grows with you. It delivers short, immersive experiences designed to support your wellbeing. Every experience is part of a path of real change that becomes yours over time. Deeply personalized, designed around who you are, and built so every moment counts. GLOWFULNESS At the heart of Glow is a practice we call glowfulness. A new language for living a meaningful life. It starts from the inside, how you treat yourself and your own mind, and extends outward to how you show up in your relationships and the world around you. In Glow, that means the right experience at the right moment: small acts that add up, without wasted effort. Do the experiences, and the glow follows. It's not surface-level. It's deep, personal, and it changes how good things find their way into your life. MEET LUNA Luna is your companion in Glow. She gets to know you from the first moment, asks the right questions, and builds your path with you. Each day, she has something new waiting, made for where you are right now. HOW IT WORKS • Answer a few questions so Glow understands who you are • Receive one short experience, created just for you • Each experience builds on the one before, and your path deepens over time YOUR GOAL. YOUR PATH. Glow shapes itself around what you're here for: • Being kinder to yourself, when your inner voice turns harsh • More energy and joy, when your mood runs low • More calm, when stress and anxious feelings take over • Or simply more glow, when you want life to feel brighter WHO IS BEHIND GLOW Glow was built by a team that believes wellbeing products should feel this good to use, and developed with Prof. Amit Baumel, a leading international researcher in digital mental health.
