huggers

Share kindness, one hug at a time

What is huggers?

A simple app with a simple goal: to enable you to give someone a real, meaningful hug.
No chatting, no feed, no distractions— the app searches for nearby huggers and gives you a gentle reminder to step away from your screen and connect.

Our mission

To share kindness through something deeply human: physical touch.
Science shows hugs release oxytocin, reducing stress, increasing feelings of safety, lowering heart rate, and reducing loneliness.
In a world where it’s easy to feel disconnected, a hug can make a real difference.

Your safety comes first

We know hugging strangers can feel unfamiliar—and that’s okay.
When you join huggers, you’ll be asked to select the gender(s) you're comfortable hugging. We use this to help match you with people who feel the same way.
You’re never required to hug anyone.
If something doesn’t feel right, you can simply choose to skip the hug—no questions, no pressure. Your safety and comfort always come first.
