About Bearly: Cozy Self-Care
Self-care is easier with company. Meet Bruno and Bella, two plush bears who live in a snowy little cabin and grow warmer every time you look after yourself. TINY GOALS, BIG WARMTH Drink a glass of water. Step outside. Go to bed on time. Every small goal you finish melts a little frost around the cabin and fills the bears' adventure meter. Not today? Skip it or snooze it, no guilt. ADVENTURES AND POSTCARDS When the meter is full, Bruno and Bella head off on their next adventure: sledding, ice fishing, building a snowman or watching the northern lights. Their first trip to each place brings a postcard, and every return trip brings a new letter that remembers your week. COZY NIGHTS, NOT STREAK PRESSURE Any kind thing you do for yourself makes a cozy night. Miss a day and Bruno keeps the fire going: one missed day a week is forgiven. Make a pinky paw promise and see how many cozy nights you can keep. CHECK IN WITH THE WEATHER INSIDE Stormy, rainy, cloudy, bright or sunny. The bears answer gently, remember and look in on you after a heavy day. BREATHE, WRITE, REST Slow breathing with the bears, paw notes for the good things, and a nightly tuck-in where the sky turns dark and the northern lights come out. A CABIN THAT GROWS WITH YOU Earn honey for caring for yourself and spend it on cocoa and honey cake for the bears, fairy lights, lanterns, floating hearts, fresh snowfall and new breathing rituals. Honey is earned in the app, never bought. SEND A WARM PAW Know someone who could use a little warmth? Send them a note from you and the bears, through Messages or any app you already use. GENTLE NUDGES, IF YOU WANT THEM One kind reminder a day, morning or evening, and none on days you have already done something for yourself. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your goals, moods and notes stay on your iPhone. BEARLY PLUS, IF YOU WANT A LITTLE MORE Plus adds the pocket aurora, Bella's pep talks and every ritual (4-7-8 and box breathing plus 12 extra paw note prompts), no honey needed. Choose Yearly with a free first week for new subscribers, Monthly, or pay once and keep Plus for life. Everything else in Bearly stays free. Bearly Plus Yearly and Monthly are auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or when the free week ends if you start the trial. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Bearly Plus for Life is a one-time purchase that never renews. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://bearly.gojansson.com/privacy Bearly is free to download, with optional Bearly Plus. It is a self-care companion, not medical care. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency number or a helpline.
What’s new
Version 1.3.0 · Updated October 28, 2026
Bearly 1.3: - The cabin comes alive: snow falls, smoke curls from the chimney and the lanterns light up when you finish a goal. Every tab has its own painted scene. - Bruno and Bella react to what you do, and on a heavy day they stay soft and quiet. - Your bears follow you to a new iPhone: goals, honey, postcards and the cabin wait in your own iCloud. Check-ins and notes stay on your iPhone, and a backup file (Me → Backup) takes them to a new one. - Bearly now speaks Swedish (Me → Language). - Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. On a day trip the Lock Screen counts down until the bears are home, and when they're away overnight the widget shows when they'll be back. - Six new places to visit, each with its own postcard (two of them come with Bearly Plus). - Share a postcard as a picture, or save it to Photos. - Seasonal magic in the cabin shop, one season at a time. - At the start of a month, the bears write you a letter about the month before, if it had at least five cozy nights. - Bearly Plus now also brings two extra adventures, two postcard frames and seasonal magic for half the honey. - Starting the free trial? The Plus screen shows the dates, and Me shows when it ends. If notifications are on, the bears remind you two days before and tell you when to cancel by if you don't want to pay. - Lots of small fixes.
