Vortle is an app that combines a meditation/breathing exercise with sensory-friendly video games. The app aims to help users relieve stress and manage anxiety. The app has a variety of relaxing 3D scenes (e.g., river, forest, snowy cabin with crackling fire noises, etc.). Users can choose to just watch the immersive scene, or play interactive games with the scene in the background. The app also includes a guided breathing exercise and “LoFi” music for calm and focus. The app is free for most of the features, but users can pay a subscription fee of $2.49/month to gain access to additional games and activities.
