It gives you short, genuinely fun activities using things already on your desk — paper, pens, rubber bands, sticky notes, paperclips. No downloads. No setup. Just something good to do for 2–5 minutes before you get back to it. --- WHY FAFF EXISTS Office workers are bored for 2+ hours every day.

Build streaks. Earn badges. --- FAFF PRO Unlock more activities, categories, and premium content. --- WHY “FAFF”? A British word for pleasantly pointless activity.
