About

Read full description

Soft. Simple. Yours. Press, stretch, let go. A little less thinking. Jelly is a quiet, tactile space for your fingertips. Explore glossy, translucent shapes that respond as you press and stretch, then spring back when you let go. A clean white canvas keeps your attention on the object. Start with six colors, three shapes, two ambient tracks and Soft Pop touch sounds. Turn on Touch vibration for tactile feedback, or enjoy Jelly in silence. All sound starts off. The optional Jelly Collection unlocks seven additional ambient tracks, nine pure tones, two touch sounds and three playful shapes: Soft Popp, Star and Lava. One purchase unlocks this collection. No subscription. Future collections, if offered, may be sold separately. Music and pure tones can be played separately or blended. Frequency labels describe the audio; Jelly does not claim medical or therapeutic effects. Audio stops when you leave the app. No account, advertising, or analytics. Included audio is stored in the app.
