The Inspiration for Stimagz
Hi, my name is Kody and I am the Founder of Stimara! When I was a kid, I had these cool magnetic toys. These toys were meant to be used for building, but instead I carried a few around, constantly fidgeting with them in my hands - in class, with friends, or while watching TV. They were my first unintentional focus tools, but they had some problems... The magnets were weak, the material quality was poor, they would quickly deteriorate after a short amount of use, and they were made for kids.
These toys helped me so much, that I decided I was going to re-engineer and re-design them so they could be used as a focus, fidget, and productivity tool made specifically for adults - fixing all of the problems from their predecessor.
The First Manufactured Product Samples
2023
The first Kickstarter
After months of 3D printing protoypes, working with manufacturers, and pouring my life savings into this product, I was finally able to take Stimagz to market via Kickstarter. The campaign was a wild success, and thanks to nearly 2,000 backers, $90,000 in raised funds, and a sh*t-ton of caffeine, Stimagz Classics were born!
2024
The second Kickstarter
After nearly a year of selling Stimagz Classics, we kept getting the same feedback from our customers - WE WANT QUIET STIMAGZ!
Our team quickly began the development process for the next evolution of Stimagz, the Series II. These would be longer, quieter, softer, and all around better to use.
Similair to the Stimagz Classic Kickstarter, we had incredible success. Within three weeks we had 6,900+ backers and $500,000+ raised. I was beyond humbled by this, but more importantly, beyond excited. This kickstarter changed the game for our team.

Today
Stimara is so much bigger than just Stimagz now.
Stimara was born from my desire to support the neurodivergent community with tools that stand out in quality and effectiveness. This core mission remains unchanged, but over the past year we've realized the benefits of our products extend far beyond the neurodivergent umbrella.
We've seen firsthand how everyone in this increasingly busy world can enjoy enhanced focus, moments of calm, and a productive alternative to digital distractions or other bad habits. Here at Stimara, we're tackling this head on. The best part is... we're just getting started 😈
