Whispurr is a mobile app that helps users feel emotionally supported through daily interactions with their chosen virtual “stuffie” — a cute, animated stuffed animal. The app blends journaling, mood tracking, and AI-driven companionship to create a calming and personalized self-care experience.
Whispurr offers a whimsical, emotionally intelligent alternative to traditional journaling and wellness apps.
Most self-care apps feel task-driven or clinical. We wanted Whispurr to feel like a soft, emotional space something users want to return to, not something they have to use.
The challenge was to create a daily check-in experience that’s gentle, comforting, and emotionally engaging like talking to a friend who always listens.
We focused on two key principles:
Gentle animations, cozy colors, and character dialogue that feels emotionally responsive.
Small prompts and affirmations that build user trust over time without overwhelming them.
Adaptive themes, customizable avatars, and tailored content recommendations that make each user feel the app is uniquely theirs without adding setup friction.
We also tested features like “Ask your stuffie” — a mini interaction page where users can ask their companion playful questions like “What should I eat today?” and receive comforting responses.
User interviews revealed that many people — especially students and young professionals — seek comfort in routines and emotional validation.
We found that users resonate with gentle interaction, nostalgic design, and the feeling of being “seen.” This shaped our direction toward soft storytelling and visual empathy.
Users praised the calming UI, emotionally thoughtful responses, and subtle gamified features like journaling streaks.
Whispurr’s interface encourages consistent self-reflection without pressure. The stuffed animals are not only companions but storytellers — turning self-care into a cozy daily ritual.
