Fidget FundsA pause button for the moment you're about to buy.
The urge hits fast. Fidget Funds gives your brain one minute and shows you your own past regret, what you want more, and the rule you set when you were calm. Then you decide. No shame either way.

Built for the 60 seconds that cost the most.
Budget apps look backwards. By the time you see the spend, the money's gone. Fidget Funds is built for the moment before, and for the moment after a slip.
One tap. One minute. Your own past.
Tap Pause and the minute starts straight away, with no forms to fill in first. You see what you regretted the last time you felt this way, how much of your goal this would cost, and your own rule to say out loud. Breathe, move, or message a friend. Then let it go, park it, or buy it. All three are fine.
Every "not today" adds up where you can see it.
Let it go and the amount goes into Kept, a total that never resets. There are no streaks to break, no red numbers and nothing to lose. A week later the app asks once: glad you bought it, or regret? Your honest answer becomes the warning your next Pause shows you.
Slipped? Two taps, then one fix.
Send it back, cancel it, or keep it on purpose. Return dates are watched for you. Then it's done: no journal, no guilt trip, nothing resets. Coming back after a slip is the whole skill, so the app makes it the easiest thing on the screen.
Reminders that reach you, even with the app closed.
Add a free trial or a return window once. One tap puts it in your phone's own calendar, with alarms three days before, the day before and on the day. Bills and paydays too. Your calendar does the remembering, so you don't have to.
Don't take our word for it. Watch Maya pause.
This is the real app with Maya's example numbers. No account, no email, nothing to install. Tap the yellow button and you'll see the minute she sees, then look around. Everything works and nothing breaks.
Like it? Save a backup in the demo and the full app opens it, so nothing you typed is wasted.
What's the ADHD tax costing you?
Tap in a rough guess. Nobody sees this but you, and nothing is saved or sent.

And the rest of your money, done calmly.
One honest number for today
Your balance, minus bills before payday, spread over the days left. Until it knows your rent, it says so, so it can never tell you to overspend.
Paste a bank alert, it logs itself
Copy a text or email alert from your bank and paste it in. You check it before it's saved. Codes, ads and reminders are skipped. Still no bank login.
Set-and-forget missions
Remove saved cards, mute sale emails, put bills on autopay. These are one-time jobs that take a temptation away for good.
Black Friday and the other loud weeks
Turn on a season: gifts get a budget per person, and everything else waits longer before you can buy it.
Fun money and risky times
A guilt-free amount each week. During the hours your brakes are weakest, Pause leads the screen.
Your rule, in your wallet
Print a card-size reminder with your goal, your rule and a QR code that opens Pause. Or make it your lock screen.
Bills, debt, goals
A bill timeline to payday, and snowball or avalanche payoff with your debt-free date. Savings goals that fill up as you go.
A friend on call
"Ask my buddy" sends a trusted friend a link with Wait and Go for it buttons. Nothing goes through us.
Easy to read, your way
Set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, with light and dark themes, your currency, and an Excel copy whenever you want one.

Questions.
Will Pause actually stop me buying things?
Not every time, and it isn't meant to. It gives your brain a minute and shows you your own reasons: what you regretted before, what you want more, your rule. Some days you'll let it go and some days you'll buy it, and both are fine. Kept shows you how often the minute won.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Write to us within 30 days. We'll get it working on your device, and if we can't, you get a full refund. Details are on the refunds page.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once and it's yours, including future updates. There's nothing to renew and no card kept on file.
Does it connect to my bank?
No, and it never will. You type your balance when you check your banking app, or paste a bank alert and it reads the amount on your phone. Your bank login stays private, and the app works offline.
Can I use it on my phone and my computer?
Yes, it opens on both. Each device keeps its own numbers, so most people pick their phone as home. Moving to a new phone? Save a backup in one tap and open it there.
What if I lose my phone?
Save a backup now and then: one tap sends it to iCloud Drive, Google Drive or email, and the app reminds you. Open the backup on your new phone and everything's back.
Will it work on my phone?
It runs in Safari on iPhone and iPad, Chrome on Android, and any modern browser on Windows or Mac. Add it to your Home Screen and it opens like an app. The free demo is the best test: if the demo works, the full app will.
I'm not techy. Can I set this up?
If you can send a text, yes. Setup is two questions (your balance and your next payday), then add rent. You can look around with example numbers first. Stuck? Write to us and a real person helps.
How do I get it after I buy?
Your private link arrives straight away: by email if you buy here, or as an instant download if you buy on Etsy. Open it, add it to your Home Screen, and you're in.
Is this medical or financial advice?
No. Fidget Funds is a planning tool built from ADHD research and lived experience. It doesn't diagnose, treat or give financial advice.
