Guided practice
Designed around comfort and choice

A quieter kind of screen time.

The experience is built to reduce surprise and unnecessary demands while still giving children meaningful ways to play.

No pressure loops

No leaderboards, streaks, locked rewards, compulsory scores or timers that penalise.

Comfort controls

Adjust sound, music, motion and appearance, or hide games that are not a good fit.

Accessible interactions

Large touch targets, clear labels and tap alternatives make activities easier to use.

Child-led by default

Children can watch first, ask for help, skip, restart or leave whenever they choose.

For parents, carers and educators

Simple choices. Clear boundaries.

Gentle Games was created especially for children with sensory sensitivities, including autistic children. It is a play app—not a therapy, treatment or assessment tool.

No account is needed. Game content is included with the app, and personal drawings and comfort settings stay on the device. Limited anonymous diagnostics and usage data help improve reliability.
