Stress Less Arrives on iPhone Duo With Relief You Can Fold
The stress relief app for iPhone adapts every screen to Apple's new foldable and adds three experiences played with the hinge

Independent developer Dave Faliskie today announced that Stress Less, his stress relief app for iPhone, is fully optimized for iPhone Duo. Every screen adapts to the outer display, to the open inner display in either orientation, and to the half-folded book pose. Three new interactive experiences in Stress Less Max are made only for iPhone Duo, and are played by opening and folding the phone.

Stress Less is built for the moment stress hits. Users check in on how they feel, pick a card, and do a short reset on the spot. On iPhone Duo, the fold becomes part of the reset.

Three experiences made for the fold

- Close the Book: pick what's on your mind and it is written on the page. Fold the phone and the page closes in step with the hinge, and the worry settles into the binding. Three rounds, each with a new worry.
- Fold to Breathe: open the phone to breathe in as a paper lantern fills with light, and fold it to breathe out. Five breaths, paced by your own hands.
- Slow Bloom: open the phone slowly from the book pose and a lotus opens with it. Rush, and the petals flinch closed until you slow down.
- New users on iPhone Duo get Fold to Breathe free as their first reset during setup. Close the Book and Slow Bloom are part of Stress Less Max.

Fit for every screen

- Closed, the app is laid out for the outer display.
- Open, pages make use of the big screen, with more room for History, Insights and Stats.
- Folded like a book, the layout takes the crease into account.
- The hinge experiences read only the hinge angle. They need no new permissions, and nothing leaves the device.

“The fold is already a gesture people use to put things away. Closing a book on a worry is something you can feel in your hands, not just read on a screen. I wanted Stress Less to work beautifully on every screen of iPhone Duo, and to give the hinge a reason to be part of a calm moment.”

- Dave Faliskie, creator of Stress Less
