Bored at your desk?

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

130+ desk activities backed by cognitive science. Daily psychology challenge. Streak tracking. No sign-up. No ads. Just open and go. Faff is a desk break app for people who are bored at work but don’t want to admit it. It gives you short, genuinely fun activities using things already on your desk — paper, pens, rubber bands, sticky notes, paperclips. No downloads. No setup. Just something good to do for 2–5 minutes before you get back to it. --- WHY FAFF EXISTS Office workers are bored for 2+ hours every day. Most break apps are games with ads or generic suggestions like “take a walk.” Faff is different: real desk activities designed to actually reset your focus. --- WHAT’S INSIDE 60+ activities across 11 categories: • Paper Magic — simple origami that works • Pen & Pencil — classic desk games • Sticky Note Art — quick creative bursts • Brain Teasers — wake your brain up • Desk Zen — calm, reset, breathe • Rubber Bands, Clip Creations, Desk Challenges, and more --- HOW IT WORKS Open the app → spin or pick a mood → get an activity → do it → feel better → back to work. --- MOOD SYSTEM • Stressed → calming, low-effort • Bored → novel, stimulating • Need a laugh → weird, fun --- DAILY CHALLENGE A new activity every day. Build streaks. Earn badges. --- FAFF PRO Unlock more activities, categories, and premium content. --- WHY “FAFF”? A British word for pleasantly pointless activity. Exactly what this is. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
