Don't face panic alone.
Bear Up is your mobile chat support app, designed specifically to support and soothe you during panic attacks. Available 24/7, Bear Up offers a safe space to listen and help you through moments of acute anxiety.
Because a panic attack can take many forms, Bear Up lets you chat with artificial intelligence in two distinct personalities, depending on your needs at that moment:
🤝 The Supportive Friend (Included for everyone)
A warm and genuine companion who understands panic attacks. They use a friendly, informal approach, validate your emotions, and help you stay grounded with simple breathing and grounding techniques.
🧠 The Structured Assistant (Premium)
A calm, rational, and unflappable companion. It uses grounding and emotional regulation techniques to explain what's happening in your body and defuse fear through rationality. It addresses you formally and maintains unwavering calm, even in the most intense moments.
🌟 Key Features
Customizable Quick Buttons
In the midst of a crisis, typing can be difficult. Use our quick suggestion buttons (e.g., "My heart is racing," "I can't breathe") to send a message with a single click and receive an instant response.
Soothing Voice Reading
Focus on a calming voice. Bear Up can read assistant messages aloud—with an auto-read option—to reduce your cognitive load during a crisis.
Anti-Panic Design
An interface designed for emergencies: a calming dark theme, no alarming colors, large touch targets, and high visual contrast for easy use even under stress.
Post-crisis follow-up
If you activate it, Bear Up will send you a friendly notification 15 minutes after the crisis to check in on you.
Personalized instructions (Premium)
Customize the assistant to your needs by giving it specific instructions on how you would like to be supported.

⚠️ Safety and health warning
Bear Up is a support and well-being tool. It does not provide diagnoses and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. The application incorporates strict security filters and will systematically advise you to contact emergency services (15 or 3114 — national suicide prevention number) if urgent symptoms are detected in your messages.
