Bearhug: Parent & Child Bond
Daily parenting play & bonding
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: set your energy right on the Home Screen and tonight's play is ready before you open the app. Bearhug now speaks French and German, too.
Bearhug is one small play a day with your cub, and the quiet way you grow closer because of it.
No screen to hand over. No pressure. No streak to protect. Each day Bearhug gives you a single activity made for the energy you actually have, the kind of thing you can start in the next five minutes. Some days it is wild and loud. Some days it is calm and close. Either way, it is yours, together.
ONE PLAY A DAY
- A single activity chosen for you each day, with simple steps and a hand-drawn illustration
- Low on energy? Swap to a calmer play with one tap. Got a second wind? Swap the other way.
- A gentle daily reminder, set to your time
- Works offline. The daily play, its steps, and its art live on your phone.

A new interactive widget: set your energy for the evening, Calm, Medium, or Wild, right from your Home Screen, and tonight's play is ready before you walk in the door. It lives on the Lock Screen and in StandBy too.
