Pocket MeadowWhat is Koi Pond?
Rest a finger in the water and move slowly. The koi gather and follow you. Tap to float a lily pad. It is one of 23 small, calm places in Pocket Meadow, a relaxation app for iPhone and iPad.
What it looks and feels like
The water is deep teal, with lily pads, a pink lotus and long leaves dipping in from the edges. Koi in orange, white, gold and black glide in slow curves. When your finger rests in the water, they turn toward it and follow, their tails swaying. Tap, and a new lily pad floats down and settles on the surface.
Why it can help you slow down
Watching fish swim has a calming quality that many people love. Koi Pond makes it interactive: the fish respond to your touch, so you are part of the scene.
Moving slowly is the key. The calmer your finger, the more the koi gather, which gently encourages you to slow your own pace too.
How to use Koi Pond
- Open Koi Pond. Koi swim through dark, clear water.
- Rest a finger in the water.

When to use it

Tips for a calmer moment
- Move very slowly: quick movements are less fun for the koi.
- Draw slow circles.
- Add a few lily pads and watch the koi swim under them.
- Turn on sound for gentle water.
Try it without the app
If you can, visit a pond or aquarium and watch the fish for a few minutes. Follow one fish with your eyes and breathe slowly.
