FREE AFTER YOUR FIRST SUBSCRIPTION Getting started requires a subscription. If you later cancel, Strawbie Radio (with ad breaks) and the focus timer stay free.

A companion who remembers Strawbie can remember useful context between conversations, including things you're working on and preferences you've shared. Everything Strawbie remembers is listed in your Profile, where you can delete any of it or turn memory off. Strawbie Rewards Earn Strawberries by finishing tasks, completing focus sessions, and keeping your daily streak, up to the daily maximum, plus a bonus at streak milestones.

Sign in with Apple is the fastest path and is automatically verified. SAFETY Strawbie has a minimum age of 13, enforced through an age gate at signup. Strawbie is an AI character, not a real person. Every conversation, text or voice, carries Strawbie's safety rules: no sexual content, and never any encouragement of self-harm. Crisis detection runs in the app, for both voice and text, and does not depend on the AI. When it triggers, Strawbie shows crisis resources for your region with one-tap call and text. Every Strawbie message can also be reported in-app. Strawbie is an AI focus companion, not a therapist, doctor, or crisis service, and companion chatbots may not be suitable for some minors. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Strawbie Premium — $12.99/month or $79.99/year 7-day free trial, then your selected plan. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
