Getting started

What is Twiddlio?

Twiddlio is a collection of 158 tactile toys for iPhone and iPad. Some are quick fidgets to press, pop and click; some are longer activities like pottery, embroidery, pinball and marble runs; and some are small, untimed mini-games.

Every toy works straight away. When you want more, each one has a Workshop where you can change how it looks, sounds and behaves, and save your own version.

When can I get Twiddlio?

Twiddlio is coming soon to iPhone and iPad. This website will link to the App Store as soon as it is available.

How much does it cost?

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet. The App Store listing will show the price for your region, and any optional purchases, before you download or buy anything. There is no advertising and no account to create.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone and iPad running iOS 18.4 or iPadOS 18.4 or later, in portrait or landscape. Wider screens show the toy and its controls side by side. There is no Android, browser or Mac version.

Can I play offline?

Yes. Every toy, the Workshop, My toys and your saved creations work without a connection, and Twiddlio needs no account.

Which languages are available?

5 languages: English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish. Twiddlio follows your device’s language, or choose one in More → Language. This website is in English.

Playing

How do I find a toy?

Open Play and browse, or search by name or by what a toy does. Filter by Fidgets, Activities or Mini-games. Mark toys you love as a Favourite to find them again in My toys, alongside what you played recently.

Where are a toy’s controls?

Inside a toy, Toy controls gathers its play modes, variations, layouts, actions such as reset, and adjustments in one panel. Toy options holds appearance, export and the Workshop. Some toys also show a short gesture hint. More → Help & guide explains it all.

Why can’t I hear anything?

Sound starts off, so Twiddlio never surprises you. Turn it on from the sound and haptics button while playing, or in More → Preferences, where you can also set the sound level and haptics. Check your device isn’t muted, too. Haptics need a supported iPhone; iPad plays with sound and visuals instead.

What are tilt and shake controls?

A few toys can respond when you tilt or shake your device, like rolling marbles or pouring liquid. You turn it on inside the toy, it stops when you leave, and there is always a touch alternative. Twiddlio asks for motion access the first time you use it.

Are the mini-games timed?

No. There are no timers, lives or scores to chase. Many mini-games let you choose Gentle, Balanced or Challenging, and you can start a fresh round whenever you like.

Is Twiddlio accessible?

Twiddlio supports VoiceOver, larger text, light and dark appearance, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast and a Hide textures preference. Toys offer alternatives to precise dragging where they can, and sound or haptics are never the only way to tell what is happening. If something is hard to use, please tell Geoff.

Making and saving

How do I make a toy my own?

Open a toy, then choose its Workshop from Toy options, or start from Make my own. Change materials, colours, layout and behaviour with a live preview. Changes stay a draft until you choose Save to My toys, so the original toy is never overwritten.

How do I move a creation to another device?

In My toys, export a creation as a file and save or send it however you like. On the other device, choose Import creation: Twiddlio checks the file, shows a preview and adds it as a new copy, without replacing anything you already have.

A creation file holds that toy’s design only. It does not include play history, favourites or preferences, and it isn’t a full library backup.

What does the AI builder do?

On a device with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later, with the on-device model available), you can describe a toy board in the Workshop. Twiddlio’s on-device model chooses and arranges up to six supported parts, such as dials, sliders, springs and marble playgrounds, and Twiddlio checks the result before you review it. You can also dictate your idea; speech is recognised on your device.

The AI builder is optional. Ready-made toys and manual building work fully without it. More → AI builder shows whether it’s available on your device.

Does Twiddlio sync between my devices?

Not at the moment. Your toys, favourites and creations are stored on the device you use. To move a creation, export it as a file and import it on the other device.

Your data

Where are my toys and creations stored?

On your device. Twiddlio has no account, no server of its own and no analytics. Your device’s own backups may include Twiddlio’s data, according to your settings.

How do I clear history or start again?

Open More → Data & privacy. You can turn off or clear play history, reset activity progress and reset the look of the pre-built toys. Saved creations stay until you delete them in My toys. Deleting the app removes all of its data from the device; files you exported elsewhere are kept.

Still need a hand?

Say hello to Geoff.
