What it does

◉

Name it first

Children calm down faster when they can say what the feeling is. They choose from 15 feelings, including body states like hungry, tired or "too much!" that most apps miss.

◎

A calm-down that fits

Balloon breaths, grounding, a butterfly hug and movement, chosen for the feeling. It teaches self-regulation, not just mood logging.

◌

Calm, low-stimulation mode

Softer colours and less on screen, designed with ADHD, autism and sensory needs in mind.

★

Gentle streaks and stickers

Every check-in counts, so naming a feeling becomes a habit rather than a crisis tool.

◱

Parent corner

Behind a parental gate: which feelings come up and when, plus guidance on how to respond to big feelings.

◇

Safe by design

No ads, no third-party tracking and no data collected from children. Purchases and links sit behind the parental gate.

Common questions

How does it help a child calm down?

It asks the child to name the feeling first, because naming it is what makes it manageable, then offers a short activity matched to that feeling, such as balloon breaths or grounding.

What age is it for?

Children aged roughly 3 to 8, with a grown-up nearby the first few times.

Is it suitable for children with ADHD or autism?

Yes. A calm, low-stimulation mode reduces colour and movement on screen, and the activities are short and predictable.

Is it safe for young children?

There are no ads, no third-party tracking and no data collected from children. Purchases, links and the parent corner sit behind a parental gate.

How much does it cost?

It is a paid download, and that one purchase includes everything — every calm-down activity and the full parent insights. No subscription, no ads.

Which languages does it support?

Seventeen, including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
