ThreadCircle

A calm, full-screen fidget toy for Android — glowing orbs, smooth physics, no accounts, no ads.

Why ThreadCircle?

Sometimes you just need something tactile and visual to unwind — not a game with levels or scores, but a small sandbox on your phone. ThreadCircle is built for that moment.

Instant play — open the app and touch the screen; nothing to configure.
Satisfying feedback — orbs glow, grow under your finger, and bounce with simple physics.
No pressure — no login, no in-app purchases, no notifications asking you to come back.
A little challenge — a silver metallic orb drifts across the screen and adds light risk to your creations.

The app started as a minimal circle toy years ago and was rebuilt with a dark neon look, smoother motion, and clearer rules — still the same idea: play for thirty seconds or ten minutes, your choice.

How to use the app

ThreadCircle uses the whole screen. System bars stay hidden until you swipe from the edge.

Press and hold anywhere to spawn an orb under your finger. Keep holding — the orb grows for up to a few seconds (bigger orb, bigger bounce).
Release to let go. The orb starts moving and bounces off the edges of the screen.
Tap and hold again to add more orbs. Each one gets a random color from a bright neon palette.
Watch them mix — overlapping glows and colors create a soft, layered look on the dark background.

Tip: Try one large orb first, then several small ones. Rotation and foldables are supported — your orbs stay on screen when you turn the device.

The metallic orb

Every so often, a silver metallic orb appears. It moves faster than yours.

If it touches one of your orbs, that orb is absorbed (it shrinks and fades toward the metallic).
After a short time, the metallic orb pops and disappears — watch the white timer ring and pulse rings around it.
Only one metallic orb is on screen at a time, so the screen never feels chaotic.

Treat it like gentle dodgeball: build a field of orbs, then decide whether to steer clear of the silver one.

On-screen controls

Three glass-style buttons sit at the top of the screen:

Count Shows how many of your orbs are on screen (e.g. “5 orbs”).

Privacy Opens this website’s privacy policy in your browser.

Clear Removes all your orbs so you can start fresh. Does not remove the metallic orb.
