#SelfCare now for all operating systems, including your own.

The app to harmonize your hectic lifestyle is now available on Google Play.

Just six weeks after its immensely successful launch for iPhone that placed it in the Top 50 free games in the App Store, today #SelfCare hits the Google Play store for Android devices. Developed by the team at TRU LUV, #SelfCare’s playful innovations to digitally engage and personally disconnect are changing the game of mindfulness.

With our lifestyle technologies overwhelming our reality, more of us are choosing to find a rare moment to shut off with a yoga or meditation class. #SelfCare flips the script, empowering your phone to become your tool and guide to finding quick calm any time. As you stay in your virtual bed all day surrounded by your favorite gentle things, you select calming tasks that generate simple satisfaction and uncomplicated harmony. Unlike traditional games that get increasingly more stressful as you progress, the #SelfCare interactions begin disorderly and awkward and become more orderly and satisfying with the simple goal of feeling better.

“We have a love-hate relationship with our phones, and often feel stressed and manipulated by them,” inform #SelfCare co-creators Eve Thomas and Brie Code. “We want to create experiences that doesn’t waste our time and that truly leave us feeling relaxed and invigorated and more ready for life.” 

Further enhancing your #SelfCare experience is the ability personalize your virtual sanctuary with unique additions contributed by guest artists working in themes of self-care, updating your space to reflect the evolution of your goals and outlook. The more time you spend on yourself, the more self-care techniques are unlocked for a deeper and more impactful practice. This Android release of #SelfCAre coincides with the introduction of a new in-app minigame in which you tend to your bedside plant and heal the discolored spots on its leaves.

To develop #SelfCare upon an evidence-based foundation, the team collaborated with research advisor Dr. Isabela Granic — creator of the renowned anxiety-reducing children’s game MindLight, Professor and Chair of Developmental Psychopathology at Radboud University in the Netherlands, and Director at Games for Emotional and Mental Health Lab.

A Virtual Experience to Calm Your Reality

TRU LUV launches #SelfCare, the app to harmonize your hectic lifestyle.

Today the innovative developers of therapeutic technologies at TRU LUV released their latest digital companion #SelfCare, a game-like app that allows you to reset, recharge and reemerge anew. In this world ruled by digital overload, TRU LUV takes your phone past being a tool for personal betterment and onto providing a truly restorative immersive experience — one that replaces mindless scrolling with mindful intention.

“#SelfCare is an antidote to a stressful world and a phone full of bad news, FOMO, and more stress,” say co-creators Brie Code and Eve Thomas. “For 3-5 minutes you can escape to a calm and soothing room, do some relaxing, meditative tasks, and return to your life refreshed and ready to face your stresses.”

The setting for #SelfCare is as simple as the process: Let’s stay in bed all day. In your virtual bedroom, surrounded by your favorite gentle things, you select calming tasks that generate simple satisfaction and uncomplicated harmony. Awaken your slumbering cat and give it some deserved affection, sort your laundry by color, indulge in a tarot card reading, or nurture your favorite plant. It’s your safe, comfortable space where you give yourself permission to feel better.

Unlike traditional games that get increasingly more stressful as you progress, the #SelfCare interactions begin disorderly and awkward and become more orderly and satisfying. There are no levels of difficulty, no winning, and no losing. The goal is simple: To feel better.

To build #SelfCare upon a solid, evidence-based foundation, the team collaborated with research advisor Dr. Isabela Granic — creator of the renowned anxiety-reducing children’s game MindLight, Professor and Chair of Developmental Psychopathology at Radboud University in the Netherlands, and Director of the Games for Emotional and Mental Health Lab. “It’s the marriage of science and design that is the game changer,” says Dr. Granic. “Ultimately, it’s that science-design integration that will motivate people to take control of their own emotional resilience, building self-care practices that prevent the development of anxiety and depression while also promoting general well-being.” 

As your #SelfCare experience progresses you can personalize your virtual sanctuary with unique additions contributed by guest artists working in themes of self-care, updating your space to reflect the evolution of your goals and outlook. The more time you spend on yourself, the more self-care techniques are unlocked for a deeper and more impactful practice.

LISTAPOST TURBOCHARGES INSTAGRAM WITH THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL TO SAVE EASILY & SHARE CREATIVELY

An App That Creates Real and Unique Value From the World of Photo Sharing

Taking the power of social media to a new level of productivity, ListaPost is a mobile application for both iPhone and Android that allows us to search, save and share the world of Instagram photos as never before. From customized lists, users can share content with friends, customers and colleagues as mini-feed slideshows to communicate an inspiration or tell a more detailed and compelling story ­– socially through Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, online as HTML, or personally via email and text message.

Instagram has become one of the most widely used applications for sharing photos and reaching an audience, with the level of participation and submission of original content completely changing the social, marketing and media landscapes. Yet ironically, as a photo-sharing tool it presents a range of challenges to actually share photos beyond itself – with its content largely existing as an isolated silo, its power as both a resource and an avenue for personal or professional promotion cannot be truly realized. ListaPost addresses this by revolutionizing the way we can leverage history’s most significant visual documentation of daily life around the world.

“The only way to reuse Instagram content is to take a screenshot, yet these become lost in your photo album and laborious to find,” says ListaPost founder Ben Nazarian. “The ListaPost solution is a tool to extract Instagram content for use both within Instagram and beyond.”

 The process is simple: within the ListaPost app that seamlessly integrates your Instagram profile you can search, save and share all of your favorite photos. Develop personal lists as you discover inspiring content, then share these collections as desired – within Instagram as a slideshow that itself becomes a mini feed, externally via text and email, or through a range of other popular social media platforms. The result is profound: the world’s real-time image diary can now be arranged into productive and inspirational packages with meaningful purpose, while also allowing users to tell a more comprehensive story from multiple posts.

 For the millions of Instagram users sharing their lives through imagery, ListaPost offers an exciting way to share more than just a moment of interest. For businesses and brands, ListaPost finally allows dynamic and engaging storytelling as the most powerful productively tool for the world’s most popular photo-sharing platform. For all of us equally, ListaPost creates a more significant social media experience, not only by finally letting us organize and utilize Instagram content, but through empowering us to follow fewer diluted feeds and focus on ListaPosters that are true curators of content most relevant to our own lives.

November 21 — Neuehouse NYC — In association with Maker Magazine

A portion of the proceeds of this auction will go to benefit Henry Street Settlement. HSS opens doors of opportunity to enrich lives and enhance human progress for LES residents and other New Yorkers through social services, arts, and health care programs. Founded in 1893 by social work and public health pioneer Lillian Wald and based on Manhattan's LES, HSS delivers a wide range of social services, arts and health care programs to more than 50,000 New Yorkers each year. Distinguished by

As an art initiative, BlingoArt identifies new digital territories where artists can gain exposure through mass media channels and emerging technologies. MAKER Magazine is full-sized, non glossy annual magazine that sheds light on the creative mind and spririt, articulating the seldom expolored, more personal projects and perspectives of contemporary artists. Artists work in collaboration with MAKER to interpret and shape each issue through their specific point of view.

From the modernist "maching for living" to the post-modernist "machine for creating", NeueHouse is a radically new kind of office: a series of spaces, experiences and amenities innovators.

Embracing the future with a new approach to contemporary art mediums and avenues of creative appreciation, BlingoArt is launching with a unique digital artwork auction that

In an unlikely unison, tech entrepreneur Henry Lihn formerly of SinglePlatform, and entrepreneurial artist Nico Dios, who executed one of the largest exits from Bitcoin, have come together to bring previously inaccessible artwork into the digital communications arena. As BlingoArt they are dedicated to advancing contemporary artists by publishing their work for integration and mass distribution through digital platforms.

This melding of worlds brings together value that allows the creation of unique and exciting products, such as their recently launched BlingoArt. Working with some of today’s leading artists – such as Shepard Fairy, Kenny Scharf, Todd James and Futura2000 – BlingoArt is building a catalog of artwork converted to multi-platform “webchat stickers”. Purchased in packs of no less than 20 through the application’s stickers store for $0.99, users can then use their stickers to chat through their chosen device.

The contemporary art industry is insular, perpetuated by self-imposed exclusivity and limite physical modes of expression. Technology, on the other hand, is limitless and will forever expand and evolve to include new members and new ideas. Together, BlingoArt and MAKER are working to bridge the gap between these two seemingly disparate spaces by auctioning artwork in digital formats in which it has never before been available.
