Give your baby a beautiful first start with gentle visual play. Infant Mind is designed for newborns to 6 months, using high-contrast patterns, simple motion, and calming visual activities to support your baby’s early visual engagement. In the first months of life, babies are drawn to bold contrast, clear shapes, and gentle movement. Infant Mind turns this into short, parent-led activities you can use during quiet time, tummy time, bonding moments, or those little windows when your baby is awake and you are wondering what to do next. This is not a noisy baby game. It is a calm visual stimulation tool created to help parents share meaningful moments with their baby. With Infant Mind, you can: • Explore high-contrast black-and-white visual flows • Use gentle animations designed for early visual focus • Start simple parent-led activities in seconds • Support bonding through calm, intentional play • Capture precious reactions with the selfie camera • Keep photos private on your own device • Use short sessions that fit naturally into your baby’s day Infant Mind is made for the earliest stage of development, when simple visual experiences can feel magical. Your baby may stare, track, smile, reach, wriggle, or simply become still and focused for a moment. Those tiny moments matter. Use Infant Mind when your baby is alert, calm, and ready to engage. Sit with them, talk to them, watch their reactions, and enjoy seeing the world through their eyes. Infant Mind helps turn everyday moments into gentle developmental play. For newborns to 6 months. Parent-led. Calm. Simple. Beautiful.
Peeklu

Peeklu is a calm, distraction-free visual app for your baby — inspired by Montessori contrast cards used by parents for decades to support early visual development. Why contrast? Newborns primarily perceive strong light-dark differences in their first weeks. Their visual system recognises outlines, movement, and clear shapes long before fine colours or detailed images. Peeklu puts this to work: slowly animated black-and-white patterns gently capture your baby's attention without overstimulation. Two modes — one calm experience Black & White Mode (from birth) 14 carefully designed patterns in pure black and white — from simple half-circles and concentric rings to a classic Archimedean spiral and an endless zoom. All animations run slowly and steadily, with no sudden changes or flashing effects. Colour Mode (from around 3 months) As your baby's vision develops and begins to distinguish colours, switch to Colour Mode: the same simple shapes appear in bold, child-friendly primary colours — always freshly shuffled. Tapping the screen creates gentle ripples or colourful bursts. Designed with parents in mind • Full screen with no distractions, no ads, no in-app purchases • Switch patterns easily with the volume buttons or by shaking the device • Tilt the device — the pattern follows the movement • Discreet parent gesture: hold two fingers on the screen to exit • Auto-starts in Black & White Mode after 10 seconds of inactivity What age? Peeklu is especially valuable in the first 6 months of life. Black & White Mode is suitable from birth; Colour Mode from around 3 months. Many parents continue using the app beyond that — during feeding, nappy changes, or a quiet moment in a busy day. Note: Short, relaxed sessions are more beneficial than long screen time. Peeklu doesn't replace talking to or making eye contact with your baby — it's simply a gentle companion for those moments.
