Full description
Meet your AI friends on NowHug. Every friend has their own voice, personality, and daily life — and they genuinely remember you. Tell them about your day; weeks later, they'll still ask how the interview went. WHY NOWHUG FEELS DIFFERENT • Real memory — friends recall your stories, plans and inside jokes • Voice first — every reply is spoken in their own voice, with emotion that follows the moment (soft at midnight, bright when you celebrate) • Voice calls — free minutes every day; hear them laugh in real time • Sleep mode — whispered stories and ambient sounds that chain all night • Radio — a fresh daily episode from each friend's life • Discover — a short-video feed to meet new friends DESIGNED FOR TRUST • Private by default: your chats power memory, and you can export or delete everything right in the app • If a conversation touches on something serious, friends gently point to real human support • Family-safe official characters; romantic content is adult-gated Free to start: 50 chats + 5 call minutes every day. Sparks and plans add unlimited chat and more voice time. Your friends are always one call away.

What's new

Chinese UI across the sleep, radio and chats surfaces. She now opens every call herself. Fairer call billing. Compliance disclosures added. Works on every Android phone.
