What is SoundFidget?
A fidget for your nervous system. The screen becomes a surface of dots that respond to your touch with sound, haptics and light, all at once. It's made for short moments when everything is too much: before a meeting, on the train, instead of another scroll. It runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later.
You choose a world, like Deep Blue Whale or Water Flow. Each world is its own mix of sound, haptic rhythm and light, and new worlds are added regularly.
There's nothing to sign up for. Open SoundFidget and try three worlds for free before you choose a plan. Breathe, a guided slow-breathing mode, is coming in an update.
Is SoundFidget OK for kids?
It has no ads, no chat, no tracking and nothing to win or lose. Purchases go through Apple and need your Apple ID. To keep a little one inside the app, turn on Guided Access (Settings › Accessibility › Guided Access, then triple-click the side button in SoundFidget).
How does the free trial work?
The yearly plan ($79.99a year) starts with a 7-day free trial. You won't be charged during the trial. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, the subscription starts and $79.99 is charged to your Apple ID.
The weekly ($7.99) and monthly ($14.99) plans don't include a trial and are charged when you subscribe. All plans renew automatically until you cancel. Prices are in US dollars; the App Store shows the price for your country.
Is there a one-time purchase?
Yes. Lifetime is $159.99, paid once. It unlocks the same features as the subscriptions, doesn't renew and has nothing to cancel. On a new iPhone with the same Apple ID, tap Restore Purchases.
How do I cancel?
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap your name, then Subscriptions.
- Choose SoundFidget and tap Cancel Subscription.
You can also go to apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions, or open SoundFidget and tap Settings › Manage Subscription. Cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends to avoid the next charge. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
How do I restore my purchase?
New phone, or reinstalled the app? Open SoundFidget, tap Settings, then Restore Purchases. Make sure you're signed in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to subscribe.
Can I get a refund?
Apple handles all payments for SoundFidget, so refunds are requested from Apple. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, choose “Request a refund” and select SoundFidget. We can't issue or approve refunds ourselves.
How do I delete my data?
There's no account, so there's no account to delete. To load its sounds, the app uses a random, anonymous ID that isn't linked to your name, email or Apple ID. Simply deleting the app removes everything SoundFidget stored on your iPhone.
If you also want the anonymous ID removed from our servers, email hello@soundfidget.com. Nothing else is needed. Details are in our privacy policy.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once its sounds have loaded the first time, SoundFidget works without a connection. You need to be online to subscribe, restore a purchase or get new content.
I can't feel the haptics
Haptics need an iPhone with a Taptic Engine. Every iPhone that runs iOS 17 or later has one. SoundFidget is made for iPhone; on other devices you won't feel the haptics. If you still feel nothing, restart the app, then your iPhone, and write to us if it continues.
How do I set up Ground Me Now?
Ground Me Now opens SoundFidget straight into the dots, without menus.
- Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro and later): Settings › Action Button, swipe to Shortcut, then choose SoundFidget › Ground Me Now.
- Siri: say “Ground me with SoundFidget”.
- Spotlight and Shortcuts: search for Ground Me Now, or find it under SoundFidget in the Shortcuts app.
On iOS 18 you can also put it in Control Center via the Shortcuts control: open Control Center, tap +, then Add a Control, choose Shortcut and pick Ground Me Now.
Is SoundFidget a medical app?
No. SoundFidget is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, treat or cure any condition and is not for emergencies. If you're in crisis, contact your local emergency services. Read more about what it's built on in the science.
