A gentle 21-day journey for anyone grieving a beloved pet. Find them across the bridge, share quiet moments in the Meadow, and carry the love forward.
Rainbow Bridge is a gentle pet loss support app for grieving the death of a beloved dog, cat, or animal companion.
Some bonds never fade. Rainbow Bridge is a thoughtfully designed 21-day interactive narrative experience that helps you honor your companion, reflect on your bond, and carry their memory forward with tenderness.
Your journey begins with Barnaby, a kind guide who helps you find your beloved companion across the Rainbow Bridge. Through soft watercolor art and comforting storytelling, you discover them in the Meadow — a peaceful world where they have settled into a new life full of light, friends, and quiet joys.
THE MEADOW: A PEACEFUL PLACE TO RETURN TO
The Meadow is always open.
Return whenever you need a quiet moment with your companion. Sit beside them, revisit the love you shared, and find comfort in knowing there is still a gentle place for that bond to live.
Whether you visit every day or return after time away, the Meadow will be here for you.
No subscription needed.
A 21-DAY GUIDED JOURNEY
Each day offers a simple, emotionally safe ritual to help you reflect and reconnect:
• Acts of Connection — share memories, offer photos, trace stars, and take guided breathing moments together.
• Heartfelt Moments — receive gentle glimpses of your companion resting, playing, and exploring their new world.
• A Living World — as you share these small moments, the Meadow softens, brightens, and grows. Your love quietly shapes their beautiful resting place.
A GENTLE CEREMONY
At the end of your 21 days, a beautiful closing ceremony honors your pet’s journey and the love that carried them there. It is not a goodbye — it is a settling. A moment to recognize that your pet is at peace, and that the bond you shared will always remain a part of you.
The Meadow stays open whenever you want to return.
Rainbow Bridge was created for anyone grieving a dog, cat, or beloved animal companion. Whether your loss is fresh or you have been carrying it for years, you do not have to walk this path alone.
Find them across the bridge, and let your healing begin.

Rainbow Bridge is not therapy or medical care. It is a gentle reflective experience for remembrance, connection, and emotional support after pet loss.
I’m a therapist. I was deeply moved by how gentle and thoughtfully designed Rainbow Bridge is. I completed the entire journey, and each day offered a meaningful space to honor my memories and stay connected to my dog in a way that felt genuine and healing.What I appreciated most was that it never felt overwhelming. Instead, it met me with warmth and compassion. Whether you’re navigating a recent loss or carrying grief from years ago, this app creates a comforting space where your love and your grief can simply exist.
A great and lovely app!

After losing my pet cockatiel I feel like I lost a pillar of my life. I stumbled upon this app, went through the whole 21 day journey and I still visit the meadow now. It has helped me a lot with disenfranchised grief since losing a bird seems not that big a deal to some people. I love the pastel watercolor theme of the app and will always come back when I miss my Bai.

After my cousins dog died from a tumor, i was broken. I got this app to myself and see him more. But then I asked me that I have to pay $20 so I’m thinking about deleting this app. Just let people heal for free. I recommend it being free not $20.
Developer Response
I'm so sorry about your cousin's dog. I know that ache, because I made Rainbow Bridge in the months after my own dog, Jinjin, passed. Grief shouldn't sit behind a paywall, and I hear you. It's just me building and updating the app, and I read every review. Feedback like yours is exactly why I changed this. As of the latest update, the Meadow is free forever: you can visit and sit with your pet anytime. The guided 21-day journey is the only paid part now, and the free Meadow will keep growing. I hope you'll come back whenever you need to. —Karlie, solo developer of Rainbow Bridge
This update is focused on care and reliability behind the scenes:
- Your journey and meadow progress now save even more dependably, moment to moment.
- Ceremonies always pick up exactly where you left off.
- Clearer, kinder messages when restoring a purchase, including when there is nothing to restore yet.
- Smoother sign-in and sign-out, and an easier way back to your account if you ever switch devices.
- Gentle tuning to Barnaby's visits and timing.
Thank you for walking this path with us.
