Sit back. We will play it for you on the big screen.

Sit back — this one is made to watch, not touch. Switch to Play to reach in and pop things yourself.
—
Watch mode is built for TVs and big screens — sit back and let it play. Please don't poke or push your screen to interact (charity, bubble-popping, and the like are best on a laptop, tablet, or phone).
Not responsible for sore fingers, cracked screens, or angry roommates. 🙂

Oasis Island is a calm, ambient screensaver — a place to relax, not an app that wants something from you. There's nothing to win, nothing to finish, nothing to buy. Sit back and watch, or reach out and pop a bubble to see what falls from the sky. Take a trip to the island, watch your wallet fill up on its own, change the scenes and the weather, and just slow down. Keep it open at your desk, in a waiting room, or at the end of a long day. Take all the time you want.
Oasis is free, and it stays free — no subscriptions, no accounts, no pressure. That's old-fashioned on purpose: a calm, generous little world that's simply there for you whenever you need a minute.
And we don't ask who you are. No sign-up, no email, no ads. Anything you change here — your settings, your journal — is saved only on your own device, never in an account we hold. It's there for you when you come back, and it's yours to clear whenever you like.
Our mission De-stress the world.
This space was envisioned and created by Frank Johnson, a Licensed Educational Specialist who has spent his life helping people with special needs. Questions, or just want to say hello? Reach out at hello@getoasisisland.com.
Add Oasis to your phone's home screen and it opens full-screen with one tap — no typing the website, and it picks up right where you left off.
What is Oasis Island?
A calm, ambient screensaver — a gentle place to relax and de-stress. Pop a bubble to see what falls from the sky, watch the scenes and weather change, and slow down. Keep it open at your desk, in a waiting room, or at the end of a long day.
Is Oasis Island free?
Yes — completely free. No subscriptions, no accounts, no in-app purchases. It's a gift, and it stays free.
Are there subscriptions or hidden costs?
None. No recurring charges and nothing to unlock. What you see is yours to keep.
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants a quiet moment — at work, in a waiting room, or while caring for a loved one. It asks nothing of you.
I'm one guy. I'm a caregiver. I'm in school, running a house, and I built Oasis in the cracks of all of it.
It's free, and I'll keep it free as long as I possibly can — no bill, no catch, ever.
I'll do my best to keep it running. There may be a day you open it and something's not working. That doesn't mean I didn't try — it means I'm one person doing this with what I have. I'll fix it and keep going.
I'm just a guy trying to bring a little oasis to everyone. That's the truth, and that's the whole reason this exists.
I'm from the old school. When you buy something, you own it — no monthly fee, no doors that lock behind you. But Oasis goes further than that, and here's the real reason I built it.
Look at nature. The sun doesn't charge us for heat, or hit us with a subscription for light. It never says, “Earth, you didn't pay enough this month, so I'm shutting the lights off.” The water doesn't charge us for every fish we catch. The wind doesn't charge us to cool off. The trees don't bill us for oxygen — and when a tree grows fruit, it doesn't charge you for every piece you pick.
So I asked myself a question: can a man be like nature?
That's what Oasis is. It's not an app that teaches ABCs or math. It's a quiet place to breathe. It's free, and it keeps working even when your phone gets cut off — when the service stops and the phone turns into a brick, this is still here. Load it once, even with a couple of minutes of borrowed signal, and it stays in your hand whether you have a connection or not.
When the Wi-Fi goes out, a $2,000 phone and a $50 phone both turn into bricks. But if that $50 phone has Oasis on it, the cheap phone becomes the more powerful of the two — it still has a calm place to go when the expensive one has nothing. In a village across the border, when the phone goes quiet, there's still something there. A child can still be a child.
Think about the sun. If it ever shut its light off, the whole Earth would become a $50 phone in a hurry. But it never does — and it never tells one country it's had too much light and takes some back. It gives the same to everyone. The ocean, the air, the soil under our feet — all given equal, to every corner of the world, no borders, no bill.
That's what I want Oasis to be. The great equalizer. Something good that reaches everyone the same — across every border — and asks nothing back.
I'm not against profit. I know companies need it to survive. I'm only saying it can't be all profit. The greatest gifts we're given don't come with a bill. Nature is trying to teach us something, and I believe this is a level we're capable of reaching. That's the real reason behind Oasis. If you ever want to know who I am — that's it.
I wanted to say this to my fellow human beings in other countries — people I may never meet — so they will know that someone challenged nature, and tried to elevate the human consciousness.
When my flag falls upon life's field, may someone pick it up — and carry it forward.
Frank Johnson Licensed Educational Specialist Helping people with special needs
Before you lean on it, here's the honest truth. I'm one guy — a caregiver, in school, running a house — and I built Oasis to give something back.
It's free, and I'll keep it free as long as I possibly can. I'll do my best to keep it here for you. There may be a day you open it and something's not working — that doesn't mean I didn't try. I'll fix it and keep going.
I'm just a guy trying to bring a little oasis to everyone. That's the truth, and that's the whole reason this exists.
Oasis isn't trying to win your evening. The big games want hours of your life — we want the opposite. We're here for the five minutes when you've got nowhere to be and nothing to do. We found our own corner, and we're happy in it.
Think of it this way Oasis is the emergency kit in your digital life.
It's made for the in-between moments. The waiting room. The long flight. Camping where there's no signal. The dead zone on a back road. Even the month the service gets shut off because the bill just didn't line up. No Wi-Fi, no signal, no loading — Oasis is already there, the same as always.
Hand it to a child, a teenager, or an older parent, and it gives a restless mind something calm and creative to do instead of endless scrolling. Want to be sure they stay right here and can't wander into your other apps? Your phone can lock itself to this one screen — see Keep it on one screen.
Then, when the plane lands or the signal comes back, take the phone, unlock it, and get on with your day. Oasis waits quietly in your pocket for the next time you need it.
It's yours for life — no subscription, no bill, no cutting you off.
Always there for the moment you need it most.
For the folks who like to know exactly how things work. Honest answers, no fine print.
No. Oasis never asks who you are — no account, no sign-up, no email, no ads, and nothing that follows you around the internet. We don't collect or sell your information. Anything you change here — your settings, your journal — is saved only on your own device, never on a server we hold. (Like every website, the company that serves the page sees the ordinary connection your browser makes to load it.)
Oasis is a mostly-dark, slow-moving screen, so it's gentle on your battery — far lighter than a video, a game, or a busy app working in the background. The real cost is simply keeping your screen lit, and that part is up to you. We don't print a single percentage, because the honest number depends on your phone and how bright your screen is — and we'd rather tell you the truth than a figure we can't stand behind.
While Oasis is open, it gently asks your phone to keep the screen awake, so on most phones it won't dim or lock on its own in the middle of a view. You're always in charge — lock or close your phone whenever you like, the usual way. (Not every phone allows this; if yours dims, just touch the screen.)
Press and hold the Oasis icon, then tap Remove or Delete — the same way you'd take off any app. There's no account to close and no bill to cancel — and whenever you want to take the trip again, just come back.
You can add Oasis Island to your home screen, like a regular app — making it the perfect offline companion. Then it opens full-screen with one tap — no typing the website, and it picks up right where you left off. It's free, and nothing is installed from an app store.
One tap — your phone will ask you to confirm. No download, no app store.
When the internet goes out: our testing shows a high probability that Oasis keeps working with no connection at all. If your signal drops — or the whole network goes down — most apps turn your phone into a brick. This one still plays, giving you something calm to look at. We can't guarantee it on every phone, carrier, or setup, but once Oasis is on your home screen, odds are very good it'll be there for you when nothing else is. Try it on your next camping trip, in a waiting room, out in a rural dead zone, or during a sudden power outage.
Add it now — don't wait until the power goes out. The very first time, Oasis needs a connection to load. Once it's on your home screen, it works offline — so put it on your phone (and any tablet you'd hand to someone) before you need it, not during the outage.
Tip: on iPhone, if you don't see "Add to Home Screen," you're probably in Chrome — switch to Safari and it'll be there.
Setting Oasis down for a child, a parent, or someone in your care? You can lock the phone to this one screen. They can still pop bubbles, change the scene, do a shift, buy a taco, or write in the journal — they just can't wander off into your other apps, messages, or settings. When you come back, you unlock it the usual way and the phone is yours again.
Oasis can't lock the screen by itself — no website can; only your phone has that power. The good news: your phone already has this lock built in, and it's free. It's just hidden. Here's how to switch it on.
Every phone names things a little differently, so the exact words may not match word-for-word — but nearly every modern phone has this, usually under Accessibility (iPhone) or Security (Android). It works whether or not you have internet.
Hey. We know you're looking for a manual, an instruction guide, or some kind of tutorial video. You won't find it here.
Right now, you are 40,000 light years away from Earth. You just stepped through a wormhole and traveled straight back to the 1980s.
Do you remember — or maybe someone sitting right next to you remembers — the way video games used to be? We didn't have the answers handed to us. We had to fumble around, press buttons, and discover everything on our own. And when you finally found a secret feature, you were King of the Hill. You went to school the next day and bragged to your friends — until someone else stayed up late, found a new secret, and knocked you right off the hill.
We don't need everything explained to us. We don't need instant answers for every single second of our lives. The true joy of life is the pure pleasure of figuring things out for yourself.
You are on Oasis Island now. Unless it's absolutely necessary, try not to take a ship back to Earth. Talk to each other. Explore. See what you find.
