A small, sensory app

Sometimes the mind needs nothing to do.

Orb is a tool for busy hands and racing thoughts. Hold it. Feel it build. Let go.

What it is

A way to really switch off.

Most apps for a racing mind try to redirect it, but they just keep the cogs spinning. Orb gives you some colour and a little vibration to feel, so you can finally turn off.

Just a sphere that responds to touch. So the thinking has somewhere to stop.

How it works

Three things, that's it

01
Touch
Anywhere on the screen. No need to aim.
02
Hold
Feel it build, slowly, the longer you stay.
03
Let go
Release, or let it pop on its own.
Two ways to hold it

Whichever your mind needs tonight

Pop

Hold and let it build to a soft release. A clear beginning, middle, and end.

Sustain

Hold it steady for as long as you need, no countdown, no release required.

Support

Something not working?

If Orb isn't behaving the way it should, or you've got a question, get in touch and we'll get back to you.

Privacy

Orb doesn't want your data

There's no account, no analytics, and no ads in Orb. The only things saved are a couple of small preferences on your own device - like whether sound is on, and which mode you last used. Nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is shared with anyone.

If this ever changes, this page will be updated first.
