Where Play Meets Peace of Mind
A calm play app for children ages 3 to 12, made with sensory-sensitive and neurodivergent kids in mind: gentle games, a calm-down Sanctuary, everyday helper tools and grown-up settings. Your child plays in a quiet starlit world with no scores to chase. You choose the breaks, the levels and bedtime in grown-up mode, behind your grown-up PIN.
For Android phones and tablets and web browsers. The app is in English.

Calm by design
No game-over screens, lost lives or wrong-answer buzzers by default. A missed tap simply gets another try. If an older child wants a real challenge, a grown-up can turn on a mode where a game can end with “Not this time. Want to try again?” Nothing they own is ever taken away, and the Sanctuary and calming games never end that way.
No leaderboards, lost streaks or wagering, and no countdown timers in games. The only clock is the Wait Timer helper, which a child or grown-up starts on purpose. Streaks and daily goals are off unless a grown-up turns them on.
The Sanctuary is always one step away, with quiet activities like breathing, sand drawing and an aquarium to watch.
No ads, and no prices or purchases ever appear in child mode.
Inside the app
Meet Luma
A soft, glowing friend who keeps your child company and can offer a rest in the Sanctuary.
Tapping, tracing, sorting and memory play. Each game starts easy and moves up one level after your child finishes it three times in a row, up to a level you choose.
No goals and no score, just somewhere quiet to breathe, draw, listen or watch. Your child can open it whenever they need it.
Simple tools your child can open from the My helpers shelf. A grown-up chooses which tools and cards appear. Helpers have no scores or rewards.
Eight quiet places where your child arranges plants, creatures and decorations however they like. Feeling stones let them mark how they feel in a place. Nothing is timed or scored. You can hide any place, and turn off the Luma Drops shelf so every decoration is free to add.
For parents and caregivers
A grown-up installs Luminara and creates the household account. Children never sign up.
Add a child profile in grown-up mode. Play on the same device, or pair your child’s own device with a QR code or a pair code.
Your child explores at their own speed while you choose breaks and bedtime settings.
If a game stops going well for about three minutes, Luma offers Take a break: “Come back and play again when you're ready.” The game may also step down a level or offer to show how to play again. Take a break is a suggestion unless you make it required.
Play breaks are on unless you turn them off: after 60 minutes of game play, games rest for 15 minutes. The Sanctuary and the calming games stay open during the break. You can change both lengths.
Each game starts easy and moves up one level after your child finishes it three times in a row. If play gets hard, the game quietly steps down and builds back up. Levels run Gentle, Easy, Steady, Bold and Bright. You can lower any game’s level or set the highest level it may reach; only play raises it.
Set a Bedtime and a Warning before bedtime in the Time settings. When bedtime comes, Luma offers a short story or a soft return to the hub.
When your child’s device is linked, Play controls lets you Pause and Resume their play from your own device, and Send a calm moment invites them to the Sanctuary. If their device is offline, Luminara keeps trying for about 90 seconds; after that, tap again.
After play shows Progress, Games completed and Games to keep working on in plain counts and lists, not scores. It describes play, not how a child feels. It stays hidden until you allow caregiver insights for that child.
Start from a preset such as Calm and Wind Down or Sensory-Low, then change anything. Settings come in three views: Simple, Detailed and Advanced.
Play on the device you are holding with Activate on this device, or use Pair with another device to show a pair code and a QR code for your child’s own device. There are no child accounts or passwords for kids.

For occupational therapists and clinicians
Luminara Adventure offers predictable routines, adjustable sound, motion and pace, and many ways to interact. It is a wellness and play product, not a medical device, and it does not diagnose, assess or treat any condition.
Clinician and organization portals are not part of this release. We would like to hear what would help your practice.
Grown-ups can tune light, sound, pace and motor tolerance for each child.
Every activity works by simple touch, and games also work with a switch or keyboard. Breathing follows a slow guide pace the child can choose, and Breathing Garden can follow their own breath by touch; the app never uses the microphone.
Gentle transitions, no flashing effects and no countdown timers in games. A game cannot be lost unless a grown-up turns that on.
The app does not infer moods or emotional states. Break suggestions respond to taps, not to guesses about feelings. Children can choose to say how they feel with How I Feel or with a feeling stone, and that choice is never scored. How I Feel does not save or send what they pick, and feeling stones stay on the device; you decide whether they show in grown-up mode.
Accessibility
Calmer motion: less movement across the app, with slightly softer colors and fewer buzzes. Vibration: on or off on its own.
Sound: music, sound effects, background sounds and spoken words each on or off, or all sound at once; a Read aloud switch, off until turned on, opens a game with its recorded welcome and its words on screen.
Switch or keyboard access in games: targets grow, and the child moves through them in order.
High contrast: follow the device, always on or always off. Forced high contrast: high contrast that ignores the device setting. Color-vision palettes: a color filter across the child app, with shapes, labels and spoken cues kept in every palette.
Touch tuning: how long switch access waits on each choice, and how a resting palm is told apart from a tap.
Larger text: all text in the child app scaled up, game directions included. Dyslexia-friendly font: the OpenDyslexic typeface throughout the child app. Directions: as words, or as a picture guide that shows the move. Written instruction: a reading level that follows the child's age, or Emerging, Transition or Fluent.
An independent accessibility evaluation is still to come, and support can vary by device and assistive technology. Read our accessibility information or tell us about a barrier.
Safety and privacy
Plain promises about what Luminara does with your family’s information, and what it never does.
No advertising, no ad identifiers and no third-party analytics on children. The website sets no cookies.
A grown-up creates the account and adds each child. Children never sign up, and grown-up mode asks for the grown-up PIN that only the grown-up knows. A press-and-hold grown-up check guards game options and links that leave the app.
We keep the minimum needed to run play. Gameplay telemetry is pseudonymous and linkable within the service; it is not anonymous. Data is encrypted in transit. Sensitive personal fields and backups are also encrypted at rest. Crash reports are sent only with consent, with child identifiers removed.
Request an encrypted export in grown-up mode, prepared as a ZIP package, or delete your household in the app or from this website. Drawings and feeling stones saved only on the device are not in the export; the app can save a separate copy of them.
This summary is not a legal or regulatory certification or a security attestation. The privacy notice and terms are being finalized with counsel and are marked as drafts until then. This beta is not set up for protected health information.
Pricing
During the beta there is nothing to buy: no subscription, no in-app purchases and no payment on this website. If paid content is offered later, prices will be published here first, and they will never appear in child mode.
Calming and regulation tools are never behind a paywall: the Sanctuary and the calming games (Harmonic Loom, Star Painter and Comet Trails) stay free in every plan.
