About StimTiles
StimTiles is a calm, no-pressure sensory space — a whole toy box of quiet activities a child can tap, swipe, and settle into at their own pace. It was built by a dad for his autistic son, and shaped around one idea: stimming is a healthy way to self-regulate, so give it a safe, beautiful place to happen. There are no timers, no scores, and no way to "lose." Nothing nags, rushes, or interrupts. Just open something calming and stay as long as it feels good. — MORE THAN TWO DOZEN THINGS TO DO — Relaxing modes for open-ended sensory play: • Kaleidoscope, Ripple, and Drift — tap and watch color bloom and cascade • Breathing — a slow, guided breathing exercise, as long or short as you like • Soundscape — every color plays its own gentle tone • Bubble Pop, Squish, Snow Globe, Chime, Fireworks, and more Gentle games for kids who like a little structure: • Matching Game, Memory Path, Color Sort, Mosaic, Trace, and others • A quiet sense of accomplishment — a warm "Congrats," never a score to beat Support for the hard moments, too: • Calm-Down Routines — short, guided sequences (breathe, then a calming mode, then wind all the way down) with no choices to make in between • A quick Communication Board — tap to say "I need a break," "Too loud," "Help me," "All done," and other core phrases when words are hard • Low Arousal Mode — one switch dials the whole app down: softer motion, quieter sound, calmer everything — TUNE IT TO YOUR CHILD — Every child's senses are different, so almost everything is adjustable: • Turn animations, sounds, and haptics on or off — or dial haptic strength • Light or dark appearance • A visual timer and gentle session limits, if transitions are hard • Grid sizes from tiny to large to match attention and motor needs • A parent PIN to keep settings locked down — MAKE IT THEIRS — Personalization is where a lot of kids fall in love with StimTiles. Choose from dozens of tile shapes (weather, space, ocean, animals, hearts, and more), color sets, calming sound packs, and Home Screen app icons. A few are included free; the rest are small one-time unlocks — buy just the one your child loves, or a themed bundle. There's also a Tip Jar if you'd like to support development. — KIND, HONEST, AND SAFE — StimTiles is free to start, with no ads at all — nothing to interrupt or distract, ever. Optional cosmetic unlocks are there if you want them, never required. Your settings, progress, and purchases stay on your device. No account, no login, no sign-up. StimTiles is a calming sensory play tool, not medical or therapeutic treatment. It's simply a quiet, flexible, screen-time-you-feel-good-about place — for an autistic or ADHD child, a sensory seeker, or anyone who just wants to fidget with color and breathe for a minute.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated August 25, 2026
Profiles — more than one child can share a device now. Each profile keeps its own favorites, recent activity, hidden and reordered modes, calm-down routines, tile styles, sensitivity settings and progress. Anything you've already purchased stays available to everyone on the device; nobody buys it twice. Switching happens on the home screen, so a child can pick their own. Saved tile styles — set the tiles up how you like them, save that look with a name, and get back to it in one tap. Each saved style shows a small picture of itself, so you can pick by looking rather than reading. You can also pin a style to one game, so a shape that reads badly in a particular mode swaps itself out automatically. Spins — a new mode in Relaxing Games. Press and hold a tile to set it spinning and it stops when you let go, or switch to Tap and tiles keep turning on their own until you tap them again. Kids Mode now has My Tiles, where a child can switch between their own saved looks and nothing else. Soundscape, Bubble Pop, Squish, Spins, Fireworks, Focus Fade, Chime and Echo can now be played as a single full-screen tile.
