Soft, real vacuum sounds
Recorded low and warm, the way a motor sounds from the next room. Turn it down or off at any time.
Vacuum by Calm Machines
A game that just lets them vacuum.
Quiet motor sounds. A floor covered in dirt. One finger to move. When the room is clean, there is another room. That is all it does, and for some kids that is everything.

Why we build
Some kids love machines. Really love them.
Vacuums, diggers, street sweepers, leaf blowers. The pull of a motor doing one honest job over and over. For a lot of children, especially neurodivergent ones, that repetition is not boredom. It is how the world gets quiet enough to enjoy.
The apps built for them mostly do the opposite: bright noise, ads between taps, a paywall right where the fun starts. So we make the other kind. One clear action, soft sound, nothing asking for attention or money, and the same room ready to play again the second it ends.
Made by a parent of children on the spectrum, building what they wished had existed years ago. Not science, just care.
First game, out now
Vacuum by Calm Machines
Simple, repetitive, soft. Vacuum is where Calm Machines starts, not where it stops.
Make it yours
Change the vacuum's colors and parts until it looks exactly like the one in your head.
Easy to move
One finger, anywhere on the screen. No buttons to learn, no menus to get lost in.
Dirt, then a clean floor
That is the whole game. Suck up the dirt, watch the floor go clear, move to the next room.
Repetition on purpose
Every room can be played again, exactly the same. Sameness is the point, not a limitation.
$1.99, once
One small price, then it is yours. Nothing will ever ask your child to buy anything again.
