Ambient presence
Ambient pet presence
Stride keeps your pet companion nearby with Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, watch surfaces, greetings, and notifications.
01
A companion you do not have to open every time
Widgets, watch surfaces, greetings, and notifications make the pet feel present. You can see mood, progress, and companion state from the surfaces you already check.
- ✓Home Screen widgets for daily pet presence
- ✓Lock Screen widgets for quick check-ins
- ✓Apple Watch complications for wrist visibility
02
Designed for glanceable companionship
Stride's ambient surfaces support the daily loop without turning every interaction into a full app session. They help the companion feel nearby without demanding attention.
- ✓Fast feedback from care and reflection loops
- ✓Pet-first visuals over dense dashboards
- ✓Widget Studio support for customized layouts
03
Part of the same companion system
Ambient presence is not a separate utility feature. It gives the companion and custom pets more places to show up after users create, care for, and bond with them.
- ✓Favorite pets can become the visible companion across surfaces
- ✓Studio-created companions have a reason to live beyond generation
- ✓Notifications and greetings should feel like the pet, not system noise
