How it works

Open → feel → reset.

Instant Reset builds a short session from your mood and the time you have — no browsing, no pressure.

    Say how you feel

    Drag the mood dot, or tap "I need to calm down" and tell the app what is going on — anxious, overthinking, frustrated, wired before bed — and how long you have.

FAQ

Questions about stress relief games, answered.

What is Stress Relief: Calming Games?

A stress relief app built around short, calming mini games. You say how you feel, play one game for 1–5 minutes with gentle breathing, and get back to your day. There are 17 games, no ads, no scores and nothing to lose.

Are these anxiety relief games or a medical app?

Stress Relief is a wellness app. People reach for it when they feel anxious, wound up or overwhelmed, but it is not a medical device, it does not diagnose or treat any condition, and it is not a substitute for professional care. If you are struggling, please talk to a qualified professional.

How is this different from other relaxing games?

There is nothing to win. No high scores, no timers that pressure you, no GAME OVER, no ads between rounds. Each game is designed to be satisfying to touch and impossible to lose, and every session ends with a breath instead of a leaderboard.

What does Instant Reset do?

Tap "I need to calm down", tell the app what is going on — anxious, overthinking, frustrated, wired before bed — and how long you have. It builds a mini session around a calming game and gentle breathing that fits that time.

Does it include a breathing exercise?

Yes. Guided breathing is part of Instant Reset sessions, and Focus Dots is a game where you follow a slow dot with your breath. It is simple on purpose, so you can keep up with it when your chest feels tight.

What is free and what is Premium?

The app is free to start with a set of calming games and the daily reset. Premium unlocks the full library of 17 games, every Instant Reset and personalized sessions. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel them in your store account settings.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Games and breathing work without a connection, so you can reset on a plane, on the train or anywhere the signal drops.

Does the app show ads or track my mood data for advertising?

No ads, ever. No behavioral advertising, no third-party ad or attribution SDKs. Mood and preference data is treated as personal data, and you can delete your account and data from Settings at any time.
