A small gesture for couples who are not in the same place right now. One tap. One bear. A warm sign, nothing more.
It is 10 pm. You are lying in a hotel bed in an unfamiliar city.
You do not want to call again. You already talked this morning, and they are probably falling asleep right now.
You do not want to text "are you awake?".
You just want to say: I am here. Thinking of you.
You tap the bear once. At the other end: a small notification. A smile. Tomorrow morning they tap, and their bear shows up on your phone.
Bearhugme is an app for two. You both tap, and you both see it.
The bear is happy. Your Lieblingsmensch gets a quiet signal: I am okay, I am thinking of you.
You both tap. Two bears, one ritual. No chat history, no "I still owe you a reply".
WhatsApp is an open channel. Logistics, work, friends, family, everything runs through it.
Bearhugme is not a channel. It is a ritual.
A small place that belongs to the two of you alone. No chat history, no "I still have to reply", no "missed you yesterday". One bear a day. Done.
For relationships where closeness does not live on many words, but on signs.
Yes. The app counts the day by your local time. If you are in Sydney and your person is in Berlin, you each tap by your own clock.
Then Bearhugme might not add anything for you. Or it might, because a chat is a task and a tap on the bear is not. Try it.
No, you both need the app so the sign arrives. That is the idea.
Almost worldwide. Bearhugme is on the App Store and Google Play in almost every country, long-distance included. If it is not available in your country, let me know: [email protected].
English and German. In German, the app is known as Drück mich. Same app, same bear.
Nothing. Tapping, seeing whether someone tapped, and getting a heads-up if they didn't: that is free and stays free. The same goes for everything the app has today. I'm working on a few extras for the nice moments in between. Those will cost something. If you want to know when they're ready, sign up below.
