Amieeba is a squishy that lives in your phone. Squeeze her, pull her apart, and she flows back together. Pop a bubble and feel a real click in your hand. Fill the screen, then press and hold to release everything at once. It is the same relief as a stress ball at your desk, with no desk required. She is also a companion. She learns how you squish, how long you stay, and how often you come back. She welcomes you home after you've been away, slows you down when your hands rush, and celebrates your patience when you save up a bloom. Now and then a rare bubble rises carrying a question mark. Catch it and you may ask her anything. Her voice and her answers are amieeba+. Everything she learns and says happens on your device with Apple Intelligence. Nothing you do or ask leaves your phone. Her voice needs a device with Apple Intelligence; the squishy works on everything. Every reward you save carries you both forward, from the deep ocean where you begin, to the shore, through forests and skies, out among the planets and into the deep universe. Thirteen realms. Your progress is saved on your phone only. One screen. No menus, no notifications, no clutter. Nothing here wants anything from you. Squishy apps have turned into vending machines with ads between every squeeze. Amieeba is free. The squishy, the haptics, and all thirteen realms stay free. No ads. No accounts. No data collected. WHAT YOUR HANDS GET Fluid physics. She splits, drifts, and merges with lifelike surface tension. No two squishes look the same. Real haptics. Every pop is paired with a crisp physical click, tuned for iPhone and iPad. You feel this app more than you watch it. Satisfying ASMR. Soft pops, goo, and ambient sound from every realm. A companion who knows you. She notices your rhythm and whispers you back to calm, with private on-device AI. Included with amieeba+. The release. Save your rewards, then press and hold. The longer you wait, the bigger she blooms. Moving meditation. No timers, no scores, no losing. Give the fidgeting part of your brain a job and the rest of you gets to rest. For parents: hand it over without thinking twice. No ads, no accounts, and nothing leaves the device. The only purchase is amieeba+, behind Apple's own purchase sheet. Free updates. New fluids and colors ship in updates. AMIEEBA+ amieeba+ unlocks her personalized whispers and the oracle bubble that answers your questions. $0.99 per month.
