Interactive lava lamp: stress relief, meditation, sleep. Touch the blobs
About Lava Lamp Simulator: Sensory
Touch the flow. Watch glowing shapes drift, merge, and respond to every tap. CalmShapes turns your screen into a sensory lava lamp built for one thing — helping you slow down.
Whether you're winding down before sleep, calming an overstimulated moment, holding focus through a long task, or guiding your breath, there is a mode for it. One tap, and the palette, rhythm, and ambient sound shift to match.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
Twelve hand-tuned color palettes — Ocean, Lagoon, Forest, Sunset, Aurora, Deep Space, Ember, and more. Each one is a mood, not just a color. GPU-accelerated metaballs flow with the smoothness of a real lava lamp, with optional iridescent edges and surface texture for a hypnotic, almost wet finish.
Three ways to touch the scene:
- Attract — shapes drift gently toward your finger
- Repel — shapes scatter softly away from your touch
- Drops — tap to release pellets, watch the nearest shape absorb them and grow
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EIGHT MODES FOR EIGHT MOMENTS
- Calm — gentle rhythm before sleep
- Sleep — fifteen minutes, then silence
- Quiet — no sounds, no effects, for overload moments
- Focus — steady backdrop for deep work
- Energy — faster, brighter, deeper colors
- Journey — palettes shift on their own
- Reset — a three-minute bridge between tasks
- Breathing — paired with a guided breathing ring
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SOUND THAT MATCHES THE MOOD
Eight ambient tracks — rain, ocean, forest, wind, fireplace, cosmos, classical, or pure silence. Volume tuned independently. Or mute everything and just watch.

BUILT FOR REAL USE
Session timer (3, 5, 10, 15 minutes, or open-ended). Brightness control for late-night use. Screen stays awake while a session runs. Works fully offline — no internet, no account, no sign-up.
For parents, therapists, and anyone supporting a child with sensory needs: the Quiet mode strips the scene to its calmest possible form, with no sounds and no effects. The Breathing mode pairs the visual with a guided pulse for co-regulation moments.
For adults: a place to rest your eyes between meetings, a focus backdrop without distraction, a wind-down ritual that doesn't end with another scrolling app.
