What is Obimy?
Obimy (from ukrainian “hug”) is an application for maintaining an emotional connection between relatives. In 2020, it was launched by architect Zhenya Zasutsky and IT company Empat.
In the application, the user can share with his partner pleasant gestures, "touches" and talk about his mood.
Obimy also works based on biometric data recorded by a smartphone - you can see the number of steps taken by a partner, feel the rhythm of the heart.
In addition, the application records the time spent with your partner for a day, month, or year.
