Read full descriptionHide full description
TidyShelf is a sorting puzzle about the quiet satisfaction of putting things where they belong. Every level is a shelf of jumbled objects โ mugs, jars, tools, ornaments. Group the matching ones together in as few moves as you can. That is the whole rule. What changes is what is on the shelf, and how much it wants to stay a mess. 26,000 LEVELS ACROSS 26 THEMES Start in a cozy home kitchen and work through the pantry, the garage, the craft room and the garden shed. Thirteen themes are free. Seasonal shelves โ Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, Easter, Fourth of July โ arrive as the year turns. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY ยท Campaign โ a thousand levels per theme, every one checked by playing it ยท Zen โ no timer, no score, no stars, no failing. Just a shelf and as long as you like ยท Daily Puzzle โ one new shelf every day ยท Catch & Sort โ objects drift past and you place them as they come PUT THE ROOMS BACK IN ORDER Spend the stars you earn on restoring six rooms, one small repair at a time. Sweep the pantry floor, fix the sagging shelf, hang the little lamp. None of it is required. All of it is yours. BUILT TO BE KIND ยท Plays completely offline. No account, no sign-in, no sign-up ยท Never loses your progress to a timer you did not notice ยท Try Again is always free, and always the first thing offered ยท Adverts are optional and rewarded โ you choose to watch one, or you never do 903 objects, drawn one at a time. A shelf that ends up straight.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tidy Tools at none against TidyShelf's 10. Tidy Tools also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). TidyShelf's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
