NO PRESSURE. NO PUSH. Basic Fidgit doesn't gamify your attention. A few of the games keep a score or a best streak while you play, because that's the fun of them, but nothing follows you out of the app. No daily goals, no reminders, no push notification asking you to come back. Open it. Decompress. Close it. That's the whole loop. WHEN TO USE IT • In meetings when your mind needs a quiet outlet • Studying or working when focus starts to slip • Anxious moments that need a physical anchor • Any time you'd reach for a pen to click or a coin to spin WHO IT'S FOR People with ADHD, anxiety, or sensory needs.
