  • Yes! On Chromebook too!

    Polar Bear Helps is now available on Chromebooks that support accessibility services. If your device has Accessibility enabled, you can enjoy the same gentle visual filter as on Android — adjustable, comfortable, and fully local, with no personal or sensitive data collected or shared.”

  • PBH Privacy Policy Now Published

    We’re happy to announce that PBH (Polar Bear Helps) has officially published its Privacy Policy, effective March 28, 2026.
    True to PBH’s philosophy — help without invading privacy — the app is designed to work without accounts, registration, or personal data collection.

    PBH is safe because:

    • It does not collect personal data
    • It does not use ads, analytics, or profiling
    • It does not transmit any data externally
    • It works fully offline — no internet required
    • It uses Accessibility Services only to display the filter
    • It does not read text, record the screen, or monitor other apps

    PBH stores only basic settings locally on your device — such as whether the filter is enabled and the last selected filter strength.
    This data is removed automatically when you uninstall the app or clear its data.

  • The Polar Bear Helps website is live

    We have completed the first iteration of the website.
    You can now explore how Polar Bear Helps works and discover what Technology that cares truly means.

    This is only the beginning — more sections, new content, and expanded features will be added soon.
    Polar Bear Helps grows together with the idea it was created to support.

    I hope that Polar Bear Helps will prove helpful for you as well.

  • Welcome to the home of technology that cares

    Welcome to the official website of Polar Bear Helps — a project built in the spirit of technology that cares.

    The goal of this software is to reduce the visual intensity of modern interfaces and support people who struggle with colorful, dynamic screens. Polar Bear Helps applies a gentle color filter across the entire display, making smartphone use calmer, more comfortable, and less overwhelming for the senses.

    The app can also be a helpful tool for those who want to limit their phone usage or take the first step toward breaking habits that lead to excessive screen time. It won’t solve the problem on its own, but it can create a more neutral, less stimulating environment — and that alone often makes change easier.

    Here on the website, I’ll be sharing updates about the project, development insights, collaboration opportunities, and technical notes. I invite you to follow future posts and explore the software as it grows.
