Schrödinger's Box — Once a day, the app presents a single paradox, ethical dilemma, or thought experiment drawn from philosophy, science, and moral reasoning. You must choose. There is no neutral option, no skipping, and no undo.

IdeaAddiction — One intellectually devastating fact per day—strange, true, rigorously sourced, designed to rewire how you see the world. The tone is bratty and self-aware. The content is deadly serious.

BreathCube — A breathing exercise built on Minimal Viable Design. A white 3D cube floats in black space, rotating to reveal breathing instructions on each face. The cube's physical rotation creates a meditative rhythm.

UnicornKick — Most people live smaller than they have to. The marathon never gets run. The album never gets recorded. Unicorn Kick closes the gap between who you are and who you could become.

Clearing Meditations — A mindfulness app offering desk-bound users genuine encounters with specific natural entities and phenomena. Every session focuses on a real, specific thing—never generic ambience. Ready to enter the Clearing?

Ephemerality — A private digital sanctuary for noticing and preserving what makes you feel alive. Not social media. Not a gamified gratitude journal. A quiet, beautiful space to capture fleeting moments.

WalkAway — Watches your AI tools, lets you literally walk away, and pings your phone the instant the job's done—or needs a 10-second nudge. You hit 'run,' you stand up, stretch, grab coffee, do yoga, breathe.

StoneWright — A contemplative building game. You have a pile of stones. You have a space to fill—a gap in a wall, a cairn to complete, an arch to span. You pick a stone, you place it, you see if it holds. The pile is finite but generous. There's no single solution. There's your solution.

Dreamwood — Imagine your own world. Whisper its name. Grow your dream with a friend.

BadMeditator — Zen games for people who can't sit still. Instead of guidance or goals, it offers simple, tactile experiences—stacking stones, raking sand, watching smoke drift—that quietly calm the mind through play. No streaks. No guilt. Just attention, trained badly.

PopsicleBridge — Build stronger, learn faster. A focused, educational physics simulator designed for the classic popsicle-stick bridge competition. Prototype, test, and refine your designs digitally before ever touching a real stick or bottle of glue. Also available at popsiclestickbridge.com for computer users — even better for real STEM engineering.

Sensorium — The first perceptual training app that treats your senses like muscles and turns feeling alive into a measurable, gamified, addictive skill.

LandArt Studio — A nature craft studio for your iOS device. Choose a landscape—forest floor, beach, meadow, or mountaintop. Pick a season. Gather stones, leaves, twigs, shells, and petals from your forage pile. Arrange them into mandalas, cairns, spirals, or whatever emerges. No scores. No streaks. No timers. Just the quiet satisfaction of making something with what the world provides.

PassTheStory — Transforms the phone from a consumption portal into a ritual object for collaborative storytelling. Parent and child open the app together. One speaks or types a single sentence. They pass the phone. The other adds the next sentence.

Curling Chaos — A single-player, phone-first physics game where the only thing that really matters is how frantically you scrub your finger on the screen. The throw is simple. The sweeping is excessive, physical, and slightly embarrassing.

Trail Torment — Experience the magic and the misery of Ultramarathon racing in Trail Torment. Take on the legendary 32-mile Pemigewasset Loop in the White Mountains. You've got this!
