Just Fidgeting
A stress ball for your phone
Everything
The product
You've opened Instagram, WhatsApp, Email, all of them, four times in ten minutes. Nothing new. You knew there wouldn't be. Just Fidgeting is that loop, minus the doom.
No feed. No likes. No notifications. Just colored squares. Each one opens something different - cards to swipe, switches to flip, sliders to adjust, lists to scroll. It's fidgeting. Nothing else.
The role
Design, illustration, and development - the entire app from concept to release. I designed each fidget interaction to feel tactile and satisfying, created the visual system of colored squares, and built the app. The challenge was making something that feels good to use without any of the hooks that make apps addictive.
