Drück mich.

The bear talks to you now. A speech bubble above the bear shows your daily prompt and success message more clearly, plus a warm welcome-back note if you've been away a day or more. Celebrate the milestones. Reaching 10, 50, 100, 250, or 500 check-ins now triggers a little confetti moment and a message worth pausing for. More reactions when you check in. Alongside the classic bounce, the bear might dance, do a somersault, or celebrate. The long-press hug is unchanged. Lieblingsmenschen see the full picture. Contact cards for your Lieblingsmenschen now show how many days you've shown up for each other, plus a redesigned avatar that reflects check-in status at a glance. Settings, reorganized. Settings is now split into four clear sections. You can also set an alert for the same day instead of waiting until tomorrow. Skip ahead in setup. Name, email, and adding a first Lieblingsmensch are now clearly skippable during onboarding, so you can explore the app first and add details later.

More reliable check-ins. If your connection briefly drops, Drück mich. now queues your check-in and sends it when the app can reach the backend again. Streaks and missed-day counts are also more accurate, including fast repeated check-ins and timezone edge cases. Better email links. Buttons in Drück mich. emails now use app links. On phones with the app installed, they open the right screen directly. On desktop or without the app, they show a useful download page instead of doing nothing. Smoother setup on Android. The Continue button stays visible above the keyboard during onboarding. More complete dark mode. Dark mode now covers more onboarding and app surfaces. Better contact and alert details. Contact cards show the current alert threshold, missed-alert emails explain the setting more clearly, and pending invite reminders can help you follow up when someone has not accepted yet. More reliable email confirmation and recovery links. Branded web links now route through the right backend pages again.

Meet Bärchen. Bärchen is the official Drück mich. test contact. If you want to try the app before inviting a real trusted contact, you can add Bärchen during onboarding or from your contacts list. Cleaner first setup. If you accidentally enter your own email address as a contact, the app now explains what happened and offers Bärchen as a safe test option. More reliable email confirmation. When you confirm your email address, the success page opens the app again and queued contact invitations are sent automatically. Refreshed in-app dialogs. Alerts, prompts, and confirmation modals across onboarding, home, contacts, and settings now share a consistent on-brand design. Optional dark mode. A new "Erscheinungsbild" setting lets you switch between system, light, and dark themes. The default stays light.

More reliable reminders. Obsolete local reminders from older installations are now removed automatically, preventing reminders after you have already checked in. More reliable account recovery. Interrupted onboarding and recovery flows resume where you left off, and Android push notifications recover more reliably after reinstalling the app. Fewer duplicate notifications. Push-token handling now prevents the same physical device from receiving duplicate reminders through stale device identities. Faster startup. The home screen now loads its saved state immediately, so the bear and recent check-ins appear sooner.

Red means: check in on them. Contacts who haven't checked in are now highlighted in red — the status dot and last check-in time turn red on both the home screen and the contacts tab. No more guessing who you haven't heard from in a while. The bear is there right away. The bear occasionally appeared blank on the first launch. Fixed — it now shows up instantly in the correct state. Open Gmail directly. After confirming your email address, you can jump straight to your Gmail inbox with one tap. Confirmation link works reliably again. Tapping an email confirmation link used to send you back to the beginning of onboarding. That's fixed.
