## What is GridIQ?

A stats tracker built for avid NYT Crossword solvers.

GridIQ connects to your New York Times account and automatically syncs your full solve history, then turns it into the deep analytics the NYT app never gave you.

TODAY AT A GLANCE
See how today's solve stacks up. GridIQ shows your time, your current streak, and how you compare to your personal best and average for that day of the week. 

STATS THAT MEAN SOMETHING
Average solve times broken down by day of the week
Solve trends over time
Personal records tracked automatically
Filter by Daily, Mini, or clean (gold) solves only

YOUR FULL HISTORY
Browse every solve you've ever completed. Search by constructor, filter by day of the week, sort by time or date, and tap any entry for a full breakdown — time, clean status, checks and reveals used, and more.

WEEKLY REPORTS
See how your week shaped up at a glance — total solves, average times, and how this week compared to your recent history.

PRIVACY FIRST
GridIQ stores everything on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Your NYT credentials are stored securely in the iOS Keychain and never leave your phone. Export your data anytime as a CSV.

How it works: Sign in with your existing NYT account. GridIQ syncs your history directly from the NYT Crossword API and stores it locally. That's it.

Note: GridIQ requires an active New York Times Crossword subscription. GridIQ is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The New York Times Company.
