About

Sensory Abstract#1

Features
Read full description

Sensory Abstract#1, from Sensory App House, is our first app in what has become a series of visual digital art. This peaceful display app is a combination of the use of digital art and effects techniques created by Sensory over the years, alongside the influence of abstract expressionist artists such as Mark Rothko. The concept for this app is to create a calm, visual experience, with slow emerging shapes. There is no touch input on this app, unlike some of the Sensory Apps for calming & cause and effect such Magma, iMeba or Plazma. The projection capabilities of the iPad and iPhone via Airplay gives the option for galleries and relaxed environments to run the app on large screens. Just choose the effect you prefer, using the 4 buttons (or a bluetooth keyboard) and let it flow. Press 1 or space bar to change abstract style Press 2 to change change abstract size Press 3 or Enter key to add some symmetry Press 4 to change color combinations Press 5 to hide or show buttons Sensory Abstract#1 has no adverts, no settings screen and no in-app purchases. Switch box compatibility: Abstract#1 can be controlled by assistive technology switches that produce character codes (1, 2, 3, 4, Space, Enter) - all produce different changes as listed above when using the keyboard.

Quietly: Just be here. In a world that never stops talking, Quietly offers a sanctuary of stillness. Quietly is a movement toward mindfulness, awareness, and human connection through the power of silence. In the noise of modern life, we often forget that presence does not always require words. Sometimes, simply being silent together is enough. CONNECT WITHOUT WORDS Quietly pairs you with someone, somewhere in the world. But here, there are no chats, no video calls, and no profiles. You do not talk. You do not message. You simply share the same moment in silence. Whether for a few minutes or longer, you will experience a deep, invisible connection that reminds you: You are not alone. SEND YOUR THOUGHTS TO THE UNIVERSE Have a gentle message, a hope, or a thought you want to release? Use the Leave a Note feature to send your reflections into the universe. In return, every moment of silence you share unlocks a note left by another soul. It is a silent exchange of human experience. TRACK YOUR INNER JOURNEY Your feelings matter. With our integrated mood tracker, you can record how you feel after each session. Over time, follow your Monthly Journey to see patterns in your emotional well-being and cultivate a more mindful lifestyle. A BRIDGE TO SUPPORT We believe in the healing power of quiet, but we also know when words are necessary. Quietly is proud to collaborate with Befrienders Worldwide, a global volunteer network offering confidential support to prevent suicide. If you are struggling, help is always a button away.
