Odds & Ends
Read full descriptionHide full description
Six small things to keep your hands busy. Odds & Ends is a box of sensory toys. No score, no timer, no streak, no way to lose. Open it in a waiting room, in a meeting, or at the end of a long day, and put it down whenever you like. WHAT'S INSIDE Bubbles โ a sheet of bubbles that pop and quietly come back. Sliders โ sliders that click through their detents. Sand โ draw a groove with one finger. What you draw stays until you smooth it flat. Latches โ twenty catches, bolts, hooks and switches that open and shut. Spinner โ flick it and let it run down. A hard flick runs for the better part of a minute. Beads โ one long rod of beads to send through the straights and the bends. Bubbles and Sliders are free, and stay free. The other four come as a single purchase โ one payment, no subscription, on every device you own, and shareable with your family. MADE FOR RESTLESS HANDS Built for people who fidget: ADHD, autistic, anxious, or simply unable to sit still. Light, dark and system appearance. Three colour themes, every one measured for contrast. Colour-blind support โ shapes and markers, never colour alone. Reduce Motion respected, or turned on just for this app. Haptics and sound you can soften or switch off. Sound never interrupts your music or your podcast. Bolder text. Full VoiceOver labels and actions on every toy. Settings reachable from inside every toy, because the moment you want the sound down is the moment it is too loud. QUIET BY DESIGN No ads. No accounts. No sign-in. No notifications. No tracking of any kind โ the app collects nothing about you, and never asks who you are. Nothing counts how many days in a row you have come back. Works on iPhone and iPad, sized properly for both.
