You've opened Instagram, WhatsApp, Email, and all the others, four times in ten minutes. Nothing new. You knew there wouldn't be. Opened them anyway. Your hands needed something to do. They still do. Just Fidgeting is that loop, minus the doom. No feed. No likes. No notifications. Just things to tap, spin, swipe, and drag. Each one feels satisfying and leads absolutely nowhere. It's fidgeting. Nothing else. Open the app and start immediately. Shake your phone to try something different. Eventually you catch yourself. Oh. I'm just moving my fingers. Then you decide: keep going, or put it down. This is not about fixing you. Not about blocking your phone or measuring your screen time or making you feel guilty. Just about giving your hands something harmless to do when they reach for your phone out of habit. If you've enjoyed the pointlessness and want more, Just Fidgeting Pro unlocks everything with a one-time purchase. New fidgets, themes, and icons, plus everything we'll ever build. The best way to support an app built between doom scrolls.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slideory at none against Just Fidgeting's 1. Slideory also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (147 vs 15). Just Fidgeting's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Just Fidgeting sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Slideory asks for nothing beyond the download.
Slideory holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slideory has 147 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Just Fidgeting's written reviews are positive against 76% of Slideory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Just Fidgeting ships an update every 2 weeks, Slideory every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
