## What is Cube Algorithm Viewer?

CubeAlg Viewer is a companion app for speedcubers learning and practicing OLL and PLL algorithms.

Browse & Learn
- Browse all 57 OLL and 21 PLL cases with visual pattern previews
- Tap any case to see all algorithm variations
- Watch algorithms animate step by step on an interactive 3D cube
- Rotate the cube to any angle to follow moves from your preferred view
- Adjust playback speed from 0.25x to 2x

Build Your Collection
- Add your own algorithm variations to any pattern
- Mark favorites and bookmark patterns to focus your practice
- Search patterns by name, shape, or bookmark status
- Group OLL patterns by shape, dot count, or number; PLL by permutation name
- Import and export your algorithm collection in YAML format

Practice
- Drill bookmarked OLL/PLL patterns in sequence or random order
- Step through setup and solve for each case at your own pace

WCA-Style Timer
- Timed solves with random WCA scrambles
- Supports DNF and +2 penalties
- Tracks Ao5, Ao50, and Ao100 averages
- Review solve history with full scramble details
- Retry any past scramble or edit recorded times

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.252 — 2026-06-05

New Changes:
- Tap to favorite/unfavorite algorithms - Tap the star in a pattern's detail view to favorite or unfavorite an algorithm directly
- Bigger Playback Buttons on Larger Screens - Playback controls now scale to fill the available width instead of staying a fixed size

New Fixes:
- Playback speed control now shows correctly and can be dismissed on Mac (uses a popover with a Close button)
- Notation field stopped reflecting move highlights after opening the speed panel
- The options menu (⋯) button on the 3D cube view now has a matching rounded background

### 1.0.246 — 2026-06-04

- Match WCA Competition Color Standard - Match WCA's standard competition colors (white top, green front)
- Practice WCA without Timer - New toggle to practice WCA-compatible scrambles without the start/stop flow
- Persistent Practice Settings - Practice preferences (mode, filters, timer toggle) are now saved between sessions
- Bigger WCA Practice Timer Buttons - Start and Stop buttons are larger and easier to tap during a solve
- Fixed: tapping the 2D/3D button sometimes had no effect

### 1.0 — 2026-06-02

No release notes.
