A sand garden for overthinking
Write it in the sand. Watch it pass.
Kare is for the thoughts you don't want to keep. The ones still going round your head when you're trying to sleep.
Free on iPhone
It goes into the sand.
A few words are enough
Recorded in Kare, sped up
Get it out of your head
No account, no streaks, no prompts.
- 01
Write down whatever's on your mind.
The email you keep rereading. The call you're putting off. That thing you said at the party. A few words are enough, and there's nothing to fix or sort out.
- 02
Pour some sand over it.
Say how much it weighs on you, and the words go into the sand. The sand moves like real sand: draw in it with your finger if you like.
- 03
It takes its own time.
The rod goes round and the sand slowly smooths the words away. You don't have to watch. It keeps going while you're away, and Kare can let you know when it's done.
- 04
Once it's gone, it's gone.
Its words are deleted for good. Nobody reads them, not even you later. All that's left is a marble for your garden.

A little sand garden
Every thought you let go leaves a marble.
They gather in a wooden garden, one for each thing you've put down, and roll when you tilt your phone. Each time a thought passes in the tray above, a new one joins them here.
9 marbles so far
Move over the garden to tilt it
Before you sleep
Leave it on your bedside table.
Can't switch off tonight? Write down what's going round in your head and put your phone down. At night Kare dims right down, and the sand keeps going while you sleep.
If you like, it'll let you know quietly when a thought has passed. There's a simple breathing guide too, for when it all gets a bit much.
Sand pits
One for each part of your life.
With Kare Premium, keep separate sand pits for work, home or the people you love. Each one just counts the thoughts that have passed through it. Nothing else.
Sounds
Rain, the sea, a forest at dawn.
Listen to the rod moving through the sand. With Kare Premium, play one of eleven soundscapes underneath, and keep it playing after you close Kare.
Make it yours
Eight sands. Eight trays. Six rods.
Pick the ones that feel calm to you. Each one here is how it looks in Kare.
Ivory · Walnut · Steel
Your thoughts stay yours
Nobody reads it. Not even you, later.
