In one sentence

SoundFidget is a fidget for your nervous system: an iPhone app that answers every touch with sound, haptics and light at the same moment.

Short description

When everything is too much, put your thumb on the screen. SoundFidget turns the iPhone into a field of dots that answers every touch with sound, haptics and light at once. Eight worlds, each with its own sound, rhythm and light. Calm in seconds, not sessions. No account, no ads.

Long description

Most calm apps ask for a session. SoundFidget asks for one hand on the glass. It's made for the moment before a meeting, on the train or instead of another scroll: the screen becomes a field of dots that responds to your touch with sound, haptics and light at the same moment. Slide a finger and you feel fine ticks; slow down and the world slows with you. It follows up to five fingers at once.

There are eight worlds, from the low, slow Deep Blue Whale to the fast, bright feedback of Intense Fidgeting, each with its own sound, haptic rhythm and light. With the sound off, the haptics keep going, so it works in a meeting too. Ground Me Now opens it straight from the Action Button, Siri or the Shortcuts app.

SoundFidget needs no account, shows no ads and works offline once its sounds have loaded. Its design draws on research into touch, rhythm and sound, collected on soundfidget.com/science. It's a wellness tool, not a medical device.

What's different about it

  • Sound, haptics and light at once. Every finger gets an answer you hear, feel and see, in sync.
  • Seconds, not sessions. No courses, no streaks, nothing to finish. Open it, touch, close it.
  • Works with the sound off. The haptics carry on silently, under a desk or in a waiting room.
  • One press away. Ground Me Now on the Action Button opens a world without menus.
  • Nothing to sign up for. No account, no ads, no tracking.
