## What is Pentire?

Pentire is paint by stickers: every picture becomes numbered outline slots and a tray of sticker pieces you peel, rotate, and place until the image blooms back to life. No timers, no scores, no pressure — and no ads, no tracking, and nothing leaving your phone. Just the quiet satisfaction of one piece landing exactly where it belongs.

YOUR PHOTOS, AS PUZZLES
Turn any photo into a puzzle — your dog mid-zoomies, a favorite face, last summer's beach. Pentire cuts the image into stickers entirely on your device: nothing is ever uploaded. Your first two photo puzzles are free.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The rest of the app is built the way the photo feature is:
• Photos become stickers through on-device processing — there's no server to upload them to.
• No analytics, no crash-reporting SDK, no ad or attribution SDK. Nobody — us included — can see which puzzles you play or how long you stay.
• No ads. No banners, no interstitials, no rewarded video, no sponsored puzzles.
• No account. No sign-up, no email, no profile.
• Pentire never asks for your advertising identifier, so you'll never get a tracking prompt from it.
• Your puzzles, progress and settings live on your device. Delete the app and they're gone — there's no copy on a server, because there's no server.
Want to check? Turn on airplane mode and make a puzzle from a photo. It just works.

60 PUZZLES INCLUDED, ENDLESS MORE
A built-in library of 60 original scenes across space, ocean, food, farm, landscapes, and abstract — every one free at Starter, Easy, and Medium difficulty. Today's Puzzle spotlights a new pick daily — the same one for every player worldwide — and finishing any puzzle keeps your quiet day streak alive. The on-device art generator makes an original picture on demand — tap "Surprise me" forever.

TUNE EVERY CUT — AND CHANGE YOUR MIND
Three dials, on every puzzle:
• Difficulty: Starter (12 big stickers, perfect for little hands) through Expert (220 tiny ones).
• Piece shape: natural contour cuts, polygons, squares, or a classic hand-cut jigsaw look.
• Look: Photo keeps every bit of the picture's detail. Cartoon posterizes it into bold shades. Pastel washes it soft and chalky. Flat color gives each sticker a single solid tone, paint-by-number style — striking with lots of pieces.
Nothing is locked in when you make a puzzle. Reopen it later, pick a different cut, and it re-cuts on the spot — each combination keeps its own progress, so the half-finished one is still waiting. A live preview shows exactly how the picture will be divided before you play.

MADE FOR CALM
Gentle snapping, soft sounds and haptics (each with its own off switch), a reference view and hints when stuck, zoom for tiny pieces, and automatic saving — leave a puzzle half-finished and pick it up days later. One optional daily reminder tells you a new Today's Puzzle is ready — silent unless you allow notifications, and local to your device. Fourteen color themes recolor the whole app — tap any locked theme to preview it live.

SHARE THE EXACT SAME PUZZLE
Any library or generated puzzle can be shared as a tap-to-play link or a short code. A friend taps the link (or enters the code) and plays the identical puzzle — same picture, same cut. The code is a recipe, not an upload. Photo puzzles are the one exception: your photo never leaves your device, so it can't be shared.

PENTIRE PLUS (OPTIONAL)
Everything above is free, including the whole library at Starter, Easy, and Medium difficulty and the Flat color look. Pentire Plus — a one-time lifetime purchase or monthly subscription — unlocks unlimited photo puzzles, Hard & Expert difficulties, the Polygon & Puzzle piece shapes, the Cartoon & Pastel looks, all 14 themes, and unlimited saved puzzles. Everything you create is yours to keep, always.

Pentire runs on iPhone and iPad, iOS/iPadOS 17 or later.
