Common questions
For ages 0–6 months
The idea
Newborns see differently
In the first weeks of life, vision is still blurry and low on colour. Strong light-and-dark contrast is what a baby can reliably make out and hold in focus. That is exactly what Shapes is built around.
The app shows simple black and white forms that change in a calm, endless loop. No sound, no effects, no reward loops — just one shape that stays for a while, then the next.
Features
Everything it does.
Everything it does.
Nothing more.
Changes on its own
Start the app and the shapes cycle automatically in an endless loop. Your hands stay free.
Nothing to operate
No menus, no settings to figure out first. Open it, put it down, done.
Completely silent
Shapes plays no sound and asks nothing of you. Not even a notification.
No ads, no purchases
No banners, no subscription prompts, no cross-promotion. The app shows shapes — that is all.
Collects nothing
Shapes needs no account and no internet connection. There is nothing to transmit, because nothing is gathered.
Visual language
Simple forms, clearly drawn
Circle, ring, triangle, checkerboard, wave — each shape fills the screen calmly and stays long enough to be taken in.
In everyday life
For the small moments
During a nappy change
Put the iPhone or iPad down beside you. Something to look at that distracts without exciting.
In a quiet minute
A few minutes of watching together, with nothing anyone has to achieve.
On the move
Works offline. No loading, no buffering, no surprises in aeroplane mode.
A note from us
Shapes is a small diversion for in-between moments and replaces neither attention nor medical advice. Screen time for babies should stay short and always happen with an adult present. If you have questions about your child's visual development, please speak to your paediatrician.
