Defragment

Remember watching the disk defragmenter tidy up, square by square, for far longer than anyone needed to? Defragment brings it back as a calm ambient toy for your iPhone or iPad.

A full-screen grid of little squares is analysed row by row, then a handful of scattered fragments light up, move to the front and settle into neat blue rows, over and over, until everything is tidy and a fresh mess arrives. It does nothing useful, and that is the point. Nothing on your device is read or moved.

MAKE IT YOURS • Six themes: Midnight, Daylight, Graphite, Classic 98, Phosphor and Amber • Three speeds and three square sizes • Free space: choose how much of the disk is empty, from 20 to 70 % • Endless mode: finished rows disappear, everything moves up a row and new mess arrives from below • Shake the device or double-tap the disk for a new mess

A CLOCK IN THE CORNER • Time and date, for the desk or the bedside table • A timer set to the second or to a time of day. At the end it lets you know, brings a new mess, or quietly fades the screen to black and lets the device lock • A stopwatch with hundredths

LITTLE THINGS • About 80 rotating quips where the file names used to be, like “Polishing the camera lens” or “Blowing into the floppy drive”. Switch them off for peace and quiet • On iPhone, haptics follow the head: a light tap for one block written, a firm one for five • Keeps the screen awake while it runs • iPhone and iPad, with Split View and Stage Manager • English, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese

DEFRAGMENT PLUS A one-time in-app purchase, no subscription: • Special sectors: bad sectors the head steers around, secret golden clusters that sparkle, lost clusters that are found and put back, and a swap file that breathes • Five more themes: Pastel, Neon, Blueprint, Paper and Pocket • A quip pack of household chores done inside your device There is also an optional tip jar. A tip unlocks nothing; it just says thanks.
