## What is Grip Time?

Hold the button.

That's it. That's the game.

The longer you hold, the bigger your numbers get. Grip Time is every second you've ever held, added up. Best Grip is the longest you've ever lasted in a single hold — no pauses, no mercy. Somewhere on a global leaderboard, other people are holding right now. Some of them are frighteningly good at it.

Let go whenever you like. The leaderboard will remember.

WHAT GROWS WHILE YOU HOLD
• Two stats: Grip Time and Best Grip, each with its own worldwide leaderboard
• Buttons, backgrounds, and music that unlock as your numbers climb — some are earned, some are found, and we won't say which is which
• Grip Buddies: forge a one-of-a-kind button that exists nowhere else on Earth, then give it to exactly the people you choose
• The deep end: what unlocks past the 24-hour mark is between you and your thumb

THINGS WE BELIEVE
• No ads. Ever.
• Anything worth doing is worth doing for an uncomfortably long time.

If you're in a hurry, there are optional multiplier boosts and Grip Time Gold, a subscription with a solid gold button, a molten gold sky, exclusive music, and an always-on 2x. The game is complete without them. The leaderboard doesn't check your receipts.

There are also secrets. That's all we're saying.

Your thumb has been training for this its whole life.

So happy to see an old classic reimagined. What a ride. Grip time 2026. It’s time to GET A GRIP.

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2026-08-19*

Before I downloaded this app I was homeless. Now after playing griptime I 3 Lamborghini’s, a 60 million dollar mansion, and the Nice button. This game is incredible.

### 5/5 — Message to all the other grippers

### 5/5 — Grip Time Taught Me Humility

*2026-05-10*

I thought I was strong until Grip Time humbled my thumb in 14 seconds. Now I’m training like Rocky for a button-pressing app. Download it and suffer with me.

### 5/5 — oooweeee grip

*2026-05-10*

my new found gripping abilities have changed my life! I can now grip with the greatest of all time, such as martin luther king, ghandi, and donald trump!

### 5/5 — Best app to increase grippyness

*2026-05-09*

When I downloaded this app I was skeptical. I didn’t think anything could increase my grippyness anymore than I already have. I needed to increase it so I could power through more hours of futa, once I finally used this app then went to watch more futa I was in complete shock, I’ve never been grippier in my life. Thank you Cole for this masterpiece and finally letting me increase my grippyness past its limit. I love you.

### 5/5 — Gripped and Dripped

*2026-04-30*

This is a supreme game of skill; easy to get into, impossible to master. I can’t figure out how to get to the leaderboard or how to purchase the multipliers. 
Suggestions for the Developer:
- Achievements / Completionist activities
- More milestone effects 
- PVP Competitive Gripping
- Microtransactions and FOMO events
- Skins
- Unskippable Cutscenes
- Quicktime Grip Events

**Developer response:** Heyy burgermeister! Glad you are skilling up your GRIP.

Double tap ➡️ leaderboard
Triple tap ➡️ store

Much love.

### 5/5 — Gripmaxxing

If you ain’t grippin then you ain’t livin! My favorite app when I have some downtime, it’s competitive and relaxing! Can’t wait for more from this developer!

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2025-08-21*

Grip Timer might be the simplest app I’ve ever downloaded, but that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. All you do is press and hold the button, and the timer tracks how long you can last. That’s it. But in that simplicity lies something surprisingly life-changing.
It turns an ordinary action into a personal challenge. Every time I open the app, I’m not just holding a button—I’m testing my focus, my patience, and even my willpower. It feels like a mental and physical workout in one. The app makes you realize how much of endurance and discipline comes from your mindset, and it’s addicting to try and beat your own time.
What I love most is how pure it is: no distractions, no complicated features—just you and the timer. It’s become a small but meaningful part of my daily routine, and it’s crazy how such a minimal concept can have such a big impact on focus, determination, and self-control.
If you’re looking for something that challenges you in the simplest yet most profound way, Grip Timer is absolutely worth it.

### 5/5 — Grip Time = Best Time

*2025-08-21*

If I’m having a bad day, I just open up Grip Time, and there you go. It’s awesome.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-20

Plumbing release. Two quiet fixes:

— Buddy buttons now stay connected to your name if you ever delete and re-create your account. Ghosts are no longer allowed to forge buttons.
— Fixed a rare layout squeeze when a buddy invite arrives at exactly the wrong moment.

Still no ads. Still no point. Keep holding.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-18

THE LEADERBOARD GOT A GLOW-UP.

— Tap any player to see their full name and stats on a card of their own. Long names, we see you.
— The top three now wear gold, silver, and bronze. The crown is gone. It knows what it did.
— Buddy buttons now swap the instant you equip them — no ceremonial first press required.
— Fixed a rare bug where the game shrank to half the screen after texting a buddy invite. The button deserves the whole screen.

Still no ads. Still no point. Keep holding.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-17

The update your thumb has been bracing for.

• GRIP BUDDIES — forge a one-of-a-kind button that exists nowhere else on Earth, then text it to someone you like. They can carry it. You'll know.
• GRIP TUNES — music that only plays while you hold. New tracks to unlock, including one reserved for Gold — and a "No Music" option for the silence enjoyers.
• NEW UNLOCKS — fresh buttons and backgrounds across the whole ladder, from 90 minutes to 72 hours. The far end is worth it.
• The Skyfall sky now falls properly. Our apologies for the frozen stars.
• New app icon, new polish, fewer bugs.

Hold on.
