I'm not a gamer, and most of the games I could play on my iPhone would hurt my hands and arms. So I'm very happy to have discovered
Flutter, which is technically a game but doesn't feel like one. It feels like I have my own butterfly sanctuary where hardly anything ever happens, pretty butterflies flutter around, maybe occasionally I catch a falling flower petal, maybe occasionally I feed a treat to the frog, now and then I hatch a new species of butterfly, then I go away for a few hours and when I come back not a whole lot has changed. FLUTTER IS SO SOOTHING. (It's also free! There are ways to make it fancier and faster if you feel like spending money, but I don't.) (
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 6.1 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.)

| My butterfly sanctuary. |

| This caterpillar is sleeping. |
 |
This caterpillar is plaintively
waiting for me to feed it that leaf. |
 |
| This chrysalis will hatch soon. |
 |
This bird enlists butterflies and sends them on
important adventures. Like, warning our ant
friends that an anteater has moved into the forest. |
 |
This frog is waiting for me to
feed it that glowy bug on the left. |
 |
| That bug looks mad. |

| Butterflies hanging out. |
