Introducing

Besties™

A New Way to Stay Close

Heartbeat

One simple press sends a soft, glowing heartbeat to their favorite person — a hug without words.

From sleepy bedtimes to big feelings, it’s the easiest way to send a reassuring hug without having to say a word.

Whisper

Whisper lets kids record a voice message when they’re ready.

No need to catch them at the "right moment" — they can record, replay, and respond whenever they feel comfortable.

Exclusive 1-on-1 Bond

Each Bestie links with just one trusted person, set up and approved by parents.

Encourages deeper bonding with the most important loved one — without contact lists, distractions, or safety concerns.

Distance shouldn't end the playdate. Keep their friendship strong and playful across the miles.

Two Ways to Link

📱 Your Phone ↔ 🧸 Bestie

Adult to Kid (Most Popular)

Adults stay in touch entirely through our free smartphone app. No extra device required.

OR
🧸 Bestie 1 ↔ 🧸 Bestie 2

Kid to Kid

Two separate physical Besties are only needed if children are connecting with siblings, cousins, or friends.

Why 1-to-1 Connection?

More contacts don’t create stronger bonds. More moments do.

Besties isn’t designed to connect children with as many people as possible. It’s designed to help them build deeper connections with the people who matter most.

By removing contact lists, menus, and choices, Besties makes connection effortless: one Bestie, one special person, one press. Heartbeats and Whispers become more frequent, more personal, and more meaningful.

FAQ

When will Besties ship?

We’re currently planning for our first production batch to ship in Jan 2027.

That said, timelines may adjust as we finalize manufacturing to ensure quality.

We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Do adults need a Bestie to communicate with a child?

No. Adults don’t need a Bestie — they can connect using their phone.

Some adults choose to use a Bestie too, but using a phone is the easiest and most convenient option for parents and caregivers.

Does my child need a phone or tablet to use Besties?

No. Besties is designed to be screen-free for kids.

Parents or guardians use the app only to set up Bestie and manage settings. Kids interact directly with their Bestie figurine.

Who controls who my child can connect with?

Parents or guardians approve every connection.

Children cannot add or change connections on their own. All linking is managed and controlled by the adult account.

Is Besties safe for kids?

Yes. Besties is built with safety as a core principle.

  • COPPA-compliant
  • No ads
  • No social feeds
  • We never sell children’s data
  • Parents can delete message history at any time

What ages is Besties designed for?

Besties is ideal for young children, especially those who aren’t ready for phones or live calls.

It’s also thoughtfully designed for children who prefer simple, pressure-free communication, including kids with speech or emotional challenges.

Is there a monthly fee?

No monthly fee is required for communication features.

Can a Bestie be unlinked with the current connection and linked with someone else?

Yes. A Bestie can be re-linked at any time by the parent or guardian who manages the account.

Unlink immediately disconnects the current connection, and a new link can be set up whenever you’re ready.

Parents are always in control.
