AI COACHING FOR EVERY SOLVE • Record a 3×3 solve with your camera or import a video, and get phase-by-phase feedback for Cross, F2L, OLL and PLL. • Spot pauses, rotations, missed pairs and the habits that cost you time, with a clear grade for every solve. • See how long each F2L pair takes and where your lookahead breaks down. • Ask Cubey for advice based on your recent solves, your average and your goals. • Share your analysis and your best times with friends. A TIMER BUILT FOR SPEEDCUBERS • Time every WCA event: 2×2 to 7×7, One-Handed, 3BLD, 4BLD, 5BLD, Multi-Blind, FMC, Clock, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Skewb and Square-1. • Official WCA inspection with 8 and 12 second calls, automatic +2 and DNF, and times that round exactly like the WCA. • Random-state scrambles for 3×3, 2×2 and One-Handed. • Set your hold time for a stackmat feel, with haptics when the timer is ready. • Track Mo3, Ao5, Ao12, Ao50, Ao100, your best average and your personal bests. • Change a penalty or add a comment after a solve is saved. • Keep separate sessions that sync across your devices. • Explore your progress with a zoomable trend graph and a histogram of your times. • Export your solves, or bring your history over from csTimer and Twisty Timer. • Connect a GAN Halo Smart Timer, GAN Smart Timer or QiYi Smart Timer over Bluetooth.
