We’re sick of the mental health stigma.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple and uncompromising: to fight the mental health stigma by providing free, engaging mental health support through an engaging AI companion and game-like features; all while still encouraging licensed human therapy.
How We Fight the Stigma:
Accessibility: By making our support completely free, we remove the financial barrier that often keeps people from starting their journey.
Engagement: We use an engaging AI companion and game-like features to make mental wellness feel natural, encouraging, and even fun, not like a daunting clinical task.
The Path to Professional Help: While we are your friendly first step, we are not a replacement for human connection. We actively encourage and guide users toward licensed human therapy, helping to normalize professional care as the ultimate goal.
Pocket Buddy is more than an app—it's a movement to show the world that taking care of your mind is a strength, not a weakness. We are here to make support a part of your daily life.
Our Story: Why Pocket Buddy Exists
We started Pocket Buddy because we are tired of the silence.
The mental health crisis isn't just a clinical problem—it's a stigma problem. For too long, the fear of being judged, labeled, or seen as "weak" has been the single biggest barrier preventing people from getting the support they need. This stigma is insidious; it thrives in the quiet spaces, telling people to suffer alone instead of reaching out.
We believe that seeking support for your mental health should be as normal, accessible, and easy as checking the weather. It shouldn't require an intimidating first step or a feeling of shame.
That's why we created a solution that you can literally carry in your pocket.
