Drag a finger across a dark screen. A glowing trail follows it and fades behind you, and the phone answers with small distinct taps that keep pace with your hand. Move slowly and the taps space out. Move quickly and they tighten up toward a rapid patter. Stop moving, and it goes quiet. Lift your finger and it stops immediately. That is the whole app. WHAT IT IS NOT No account. No sign in. No streaks, no daily goal. No timer counting your session. No notifications asking you to come back. No advertising. No subscription, and no second purchase hiding behind the first. You paid once. It is yours. DETAILS I WANT YOU TO KNOW Five intensity steps, from a texture you can barely feel to something crisp and pronounced. Each step changes how sharp a tap feels as well as how strong, so the ends of the range are genuinely different rather than just louder and quieter. The trail thickens as you press harder and brightens as you move faster. If the glow is more visual activity than you want, one button switches it to a plain line. An optional synthesized ambient soundscape can play underneath the interaction. It starts off and mixes with audio already playing on the phone. REQUIREMENTS: Haptics need a real iPhone with a Taptic Engine. They are unavailable in Low Power Mode and when system haptics are switched off in Settings. PRIVACY: Ease collects nothing. No analytics, no tracking, no network requests of any kind. It works with the phone in airplane mode because it has no server to talk to. Three values are remembered on your device and never leave it: haptic level, glow on or off, and your lifetime haptic pulse total. Ambient sound always starts off on a new launch.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ease at 100% against teamLab's 39%. Ease also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). teamLab's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
