AMERICAN BEATBOX™ is a hub for beatboxers to connect with, learn from, and support one another. Beatboxing is an original American art form and music genre. It uses the mouth, lips, tongue and voice to create vocal percussion and mimic drum machines, turntables, and other music instruments. Birthed in 1980s New York as the “fifth element” of hip hop, legends like Doug E Fresh, Biz Markie, Rahzel and others paved the way for their art form to become known and respected. Today there are millions of beatboxers scattered across every continent, and there are even more fans. As modern music has evolved, so have the sounds and rhythms in the beatbox community. With new recording equipment, vocal effects, and loop technologies emerging, the possibilities for beatboxers are being redefined in terms of creating music. At AB we create and host high-quality content, sell original and collaborative merchandise, curate battles and community events, and engage through social media channels like YouTube and Instagram. We are connecting with beatbox communities across the Americas and beyond to help facilitate growth for this universal language. We appreciate your support!

Qubo is a speedcubing timer that stays out of the way. Long-press to ready it, release to start, then tap anywhere on the screen to stop — no aiming for a small button while the clock is running. COMPETITION SCRAMBLES Scrambles for 3×3, 2×2 and Pyraminx are drawn at random from every state the puzzle can reach — the same standard used at official competitions. 4×4 and Windmill get random-move scrambles with redundant turns filtered out. Tap the scramble to see it as a full sequence of moves. SESSION STATS See how a practice run actually went: your personal best, a trend line across the session, and Ao5 and Ao12 averages for each puzzle. Every solve is kept with the scramble it was given and any +2 or DNF, stored on your device. PERSONAL BESTS Each puzzle tracks its own record, and your bests follow you across devices through iCloud. New records get the celebration they deserve. PUZZLES 3×3 is free, always. 2×2, 4×4, Windmill and Pyraminx each unlock with a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, ever. Curious about a locked puzzle? Watch a short video to earn free solves and try it before you buy. Whether you're learning your first algorithm or chasing sub-10, Qubo gives you competition-grade timing without the clutter.
