Screen time without the fight.

You know the apps. The ones that flash and chime and never quite let go — that turn “five more minutes” into a meltdown.

Arosi is the opposite. It’s quiet. It’s finite. There is nothing to win, nothing to chase, and nothing trying to keep your child glued to the glass. When playtime is over, the little world simply settles into night, and your child steps away calm.

Three little worlds to wander

Each one rewards a gentle, unhurried touch — and a child who comes back tomorrow.

  • A cozy window on a rainy evening with a soft amber lamp glow and misty lavender hills.

    Rainy Day Room

    A cozy window on a rainy evening. Draw in the fog, wake the sleeping cat, wind the music box. The quietest corners reward a curious, patient touch.

  • A quiet indigo night sky with a warm crescent moon and soft constellation lines.

    Bedtime Sky

    A hushed night sky. Trace constellations with a fingertip, tap the moon through its phases, and wait — a shooting star is coming.

  • A glass dome at the bottom of a calm indigo sea with softly glowing lantern creatures.

    Lantern Reef

    A glass dome at the bottom of a calm sea. Tend a reef of sleepy lantern creatures — stars that drifted down into the water.

How a session works

Three quiet steps — and not a countdown in sight.

  1. Open

    Tap once and you’re inside. No menus, no tutorial, no reading required.

  2. Explore by touch

    Everything answers to a gentle touch. A two-year-old discovers it without a single word from you.

  3. A gentle goodnight

    The world slowly grows quieter, warmer and darker, winding down to a calm goodnight — with no countdown your child ever sees.

The promises that matter most, kept literally.

  • Data Not Collected

    Apple’s privacy label, top to bottom. No behavioural tracking. No analytics. Truly nothing leaves the device.

  • No subscriptions

    Buy once. Expansion worlds are one-time too. No recurring charges, no “limited time” sales, no countdowns.

  • No ads, ever

    Nothing is for sale to your child. No banners, no pop-ups, no nudges.

  • Works offline

    No internet connection required. No account. No login. Ever.

  • No notifications

    Arosi never pings, badges, or nudges to pull your child back to the screen.

  • Zero third-party SDKs

    Built only on Apple system frameworks. Nothing phones home, because there’s nothing that could.

  • No in-game currencies

    No coins, gems, streaks, or anything to collect, chase, or run out of.

  • Family Sharing

    One purchase covers your whole family — no per-device fees.

Designed for every child

Calm means something different for every child. Arosi is built for sensory-sensitive little ones from the ground up — never as an afterthought.

  • Low-Stimulation Mode

    Fewer particles and no lightning — a softer world for sensitive eyes.

  • Simplified Interaction

    Larger, more forgiving touch targets for small or still-developing hands.

  • No Sudden Sounds

    Soft, predictable audio with nothing startling — thunder hushed, whistles gentled.

  • Mono Audio

    Balanced sound for listening with one ear or a single earbud.

  • Reduce Motion

    Honors the system setting. Parallax and drift quietly stop.

  • Sensory presets

    One tap sets a profile that fits your child — no menu-diving required.

Honest pricing

The price is the price. No fake discounts, no countdowns, nothing recurring — just a lower price for an app that's still finding its feet.

Arosi — the base app Early-days price

$4.99 one-time

Arosi is brand new. It's calm and already worth playing, but there are rough edges we're still smoothing — so it costs less today. The price rises toward $7.99 as Arosi grows up, and buying now locks you in.

Questions, answered plainly

Does Arosi need an internet connection?

Playing Arosi never needs a connection. Everything runs on the device — no account, no login, nothing to download after you install it. The only moment it touches the internet is when you choose to buy an optional expansion world through the App Store; then it’s offline again. It works on a plane, in the car, anywhere.

Are there ads, in-app purchases, or subscriptions?

No ads, ever. No subscriptions, ever. There are optional one-time expansion worlds, and they live behind a parent gate, so your child can’t wander into a purchase.

Why does it cost less right now?

Because Arosi is brand new. It’s calm and already worth playing, but it’ll have rough edges and the occasional bug while we keep polishing — so the launch price is lower to match. As Arosi gets more finished, the price rises toward $7.99. There’s no countdown and no fake discount; it’s simply an honest price for an early app. Buy it once at today’s price and every future update is yours, free.

Is my child’s data collected?

No. The App Store privacy label reads “Data Not Collected” — truthfully. There’s no analytics, no behavioural tracking, and zero third-party SDKs. The app is built only on Apple system frameworks.

What ages is it for?

It’s designed for ages 2–6. No reading is required — every interaction is meant to be discovered by a two-year-old, and there are no wrong answers and nothing to fail.

What devices does it run on?

Arosi is made for iPad, where the larger screen gives little hands room to explore. We’re starting on iPad to keep the first release calm and well-tested; an iPhone version may follow once it’s just as polished.

How do sessions end?

Gently. Instead of a sudden “Time’s up!”, the world slowly grows quieter, warmer and darker until it settles into a calm goodnight. Your child is never shown a countdown — so stepping away doesn’t feel like a punishment.

Why we made Arosi

Made by one family, for yours.

Arosi wasn’t made by a studio chasing screen time. It was made by our family, for our own kids — and it began with one small picture: a grove on a glowing hilltop, a single warm lantern under a dusk sky.

We wanted a screen we’d actually feel good handing our own toddler: one that keeps no score, sets no goals, and never tries to win his attention back. It doesn’t track where a child left off, and there’s nothing to finish or unlock — so the hundredth visit can feel as open and unhurried as the first.

Every soft sound and every gentle goodnight was tested by the hardest critics we know — our own children, with sound-effects help from the cats.

Made with love by the Smith family.

Bring home a playroom your child asks for — and one you can feel good about handing over.
