Made for autistic children. Free for families.
A screen that helps a child settle, then learn.
Sixteen activities for calm, reading, spelling, counting and play. You set what your child sees, how long they play, and what happens before games.
Works in any web browser. Nothing to install. No account to make.
1 in 31 children in the United States are autistic. Almost nothing on a screen is built for them.
Source: CDC ADDM Network, April 2025. Two years earlier the figure was 1 in 36. Liquid Calm is built for these children first, and it suits any child who needs a slower screen.
Why parents keep it on the tablet
Most apps for children are built to hold attention. This one is built to bring a child down, and you hold the controls.
Gentle on the senses
Slow light and steady colour. No strobing, no sudden sounds, no jump cuts. Children who find most screens too loud can settle here.
You set the rules
A grown-up area behind a PIN. Choose the activities, the difficulty, the length of a session, and whether a book or some maths comes before games.
A warning before the end
One minute left, then ten seconds left, then a quiet "All done" screen. Your child knows what happens next, so stopping goes better.
Made for children who do not speak
Buttons show pictures, every screen reads aloud, and talk buttons let a child tap to say "I need a break", "I need help" or "All done".
You can see how the week went
Minutes played, days played, the activities your child chose most, and their best scores. One profile per child, each with its own settings.
Free, kept light
One small advert sits at the bottom of the screen and pays for the free plan. Never inside Calm, never on top of a game. The ad-free plan removes it.
Sixteen activities
Games, Play, Calm, Learn and Read. Best scores and levels save for each child.
Schools and clinics
No student accounts, no class lists, no adverts on a licence. Set up once on each device.
Printables
Two free packs, and a $9 starter kit with a visual schedule, first-then boards and break cards.
Where it started
Liquid Calm started with one boy. Our founder worked with children after high school and watched an autistic boy replay calming videos to settle himself. Those few quiet minutes helped him, so we began making more of them. The activities grew from the same idea. A child arrives wound up and leaves steady.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Every activity is free and there is no account to make. One small advert sits at the bottom of the screen outside the Calm area. The ad-free plan removes it and keeps everything else.
What do you collect about my child?
Nothing. Names, profiles and settings are saved on your own device. No page here has analytics or tracking on it.
What ages does it suit?
About 3 to 13. You set an age and a difficulty from easy to expert, so an advanced 8-year-old and a 12-year-old who needs more time each get the right level.
How do I end play without a fight?
Set a play time in the grown-up area. Your child gets a warning with one minute left, another with ten seconds left, then a quiet "All done" screen.
