Fidget spinners have become the must-have playground and desk toy of 2017 so far – but now it’s possible to get hold of one free of charge, virtually.

Designer Mike Bodge has built a web browser app based fidget spinner that anyone can use to help concentrate, or more likely kill time.

Called FFFFidget, the web app is simple to use: a large fidget spinner appears on-screen, which can then be spun using your computer mouse, or finger if opened on a touchscreen device.

Depending on how powerfully you spin the virtual toy, it will rotate in a mesmeric fashion before steadily slowing and coming to a stop in realistic fashion.

Should you want to bring it to a stop earlier, another click or tap on the spinner automatically brings it to a standstill.
