Turn your screen into a little fluid playground. Tap to create water particles and watch them gather, flow, splash, and bounce through a touch-responsive physics simulation. POUR, WATCH, EXPERIMENT Start with the basic water simulation and 50 particles. Touch the screen to add a stream, watch how particles interact, and clear the scene when you want to begin again. Haptic feedback and an FPS readout add another layer to the experience. CHANGE THE WAY LIQUID MOVES An optional Pro subscription unlocks gyroscope gravity controls, additional fluid presets, and physics customization. Try water, honey, oil, mercury, or lava-inspired settings, then adjust available color, viscosity, surface tension, bounce, and particle-size controls. • Tilt your device to change gravity with Pro • Compare the feel of thick and thin simulated liquids • Try different particle colors and sizes • Change the physics and observe the result • Use the sandbox at your own pace, without scores or deadlines FREE AND PRO Basic water and the 50-particle tier are free to try. Pro removes the free-tier particle cap and unlocks the listed customization features; practical performance still depends on your device and simulation settings. Plans and local pricing appear before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple account settings. A sensory toy for curious hands and a quiet pause. The named presets are simulated particle behaviors, not actual liquids or a laboratory measurement tool. No claim is made to diagnose or treat ADHD, anxiety, or any other condition.
