Clicker simulator, a button that feels good.

The clicker simulator is a calm click game. There is one big button. You click or tap it, and it answers with a small burst of colour and a soft count. There are no upgrades to manage and no time limit. Use Relax for a quiet click toy, or Collect to fill a ring and earn six button styles as your total clicks grow. Sound is off until you switch it on, and your total, style and colours are saved in this browser.

How to use the clicker simulator

1. Click the big button, tap it, or press Space. Each click adds one to the total.
2. Pick Relax if you only want the button, or Collect to see the ring fill and the clicks left until the next style.
3. Choose Colours: Calm, Mint, Sunset, Night or Mono.
4. Choose a Button style. The locked ones show the click count that opens them.
5. Switch on Soft sound on each click for a short note chosen from a calm scale. On a phone you can also switch on vibration.

The six button styles

The ring fills between one style and the next. Between Keycap at 50 and Bubble at 200 the gap is 150 clicks, so at 125 clicks the ring is (125 minus 50) divided by 150, which is 50% full, and 75 more clicks open Bubble.

Why a simulator and not a game with a score

Many people click a button because the rhythm is calming, not because they want a score. So the page keeps the numbers small and soft. It shows your clicks a second over the last two seconds and your best, but nothing tells you to go faster. Relax mode hides the ring and shrinks the count so the button is the whole page.

Sound, motion and comfort

• Sound is off at first. When it is on, each click plays a short, quiet note from a five-note scale, so a run of clicks sounds like a tune and not a clatter.
• If your system asks for reduced motion, the burst of dots and the press animation are switched off.
• Vibration works on phones and tablets that allow it, and is off at first.
• Take a break if your hand or finger gets tired.

Saving

Your total clicks, style, mode and colours are saved in this browser, so they are there next time. Use Reset the count to go back to zero. It asks you to press twice. Clearing site data also resets it, and the save does not move to another device.

If you want upgrades and numbers that grow, play the spacebar clicker. To measure how fast you click, use the jitter click test or the click counter.
