Home is not gone. Just farther away.
For everyone living abroad who still wants to send a small daily sign back home. One tap. One bear. An "I am okay", even when time zones, busy days, and overflowing chats get in the way.

You are awake, back home everyone is still asleep. Or the other way around.
You want to write to your mother, your sister, your friends at home. But then it is work again, groceries, a new language, a different everyday life.
And when you finally have time, "how are you?" feels far too small for everything that would actually need telling.
So it stays unwritten. Even though you thought of them. Today of all days.
Bearhugme is a daily sign of life between you and the people back home. You tap the bear once. They see: you are okay. And when they tap, you see it too.
You do not have to explain why you cannot call right now. The bear is enough for today.
Nobody has to be online at the same time. Your sign arrives whenever it suits them.
Emigrating, a workation, studying abroad, a new life somewhere else. In the beginning you write a lot. At some point the new everyday life becomes normal.
That does not mean the people back home matter less. It just means closeness is sometimes too big for a voice message and too small for a scheduled call.
Bearhugme does not turn it into a conversation. Just a small ritual that stays.
Yes. As long as both of you have the app, you can connect. The daily tap is not tied to any one country.
No. That is exactly the point. Your Lieblingsmensch sees your sign whenever they open their phone, and you see theirs. No appointment, no call slot.
Both. For your mother, your father, your sister, your best friend. For the person back home for whom a small "I am here" says a lot.
Almost worldwide. Bearhugme is on the App Store and Google Play in almost every country, wherever you have landed. 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. Handy if your people back home prefer German.
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.
