CuberPal is the AI-powered speedcubing coach, cube timer and 3×3 solver for cubers who want measurable progress. Record or upload a solve for detailed CFOP feedback, learn algorithms with focused drills, and time every WCA event with a timer built for speedcubers. Cubey, your cubing coach, is with you at every step. 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. LEARN ALGORITHMS THAT STICK • Master OLL, PLL, COLL, ZBLL and F2L algorithms with spaced-repetition practice. • Drill recognition and execution with a full-screen practice timer: hold anywhere to start, tap anywhere to stop, with an optional 3-2-1 countdown. • Grade each case and CuberPal schedules the ones you need to see again. • Browse full algorithm catalogs with clear diagrams and finger-friendly notation. LESSONS FOR EVERY PUZZLE • Learn to solve the 3×3 from scratch with step-by-step guided lessons. • Go further with courses for Pyraminx, Skewb, Square-1 and Megaminx. • Scan any scrambled 3×3 with your camera and follow a step-by-step solution. A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU • Tell CuberPal your current average and your goal, and follow a personalized training plan. • Use Focus Sprints to practice one cue across a short set of solves. • See your path to your next personal best and a forecast of where your average is heading. • Get a weekly recap of your solves, your progress and what to work on next. COMPETE AND STAY MOTIVATED • Take on the Daily Cube Challenge and compare your time on the global leaderboard. • Join the Arena for weekly competitions against cubers at your level. • Build streaks, earn awards and set goals that keep you practicing. • Prepare for your next WCA competition and turn on practice reminders. BUILT FOR EVERY LEVEL • New to cubing? Follow a clear path from your first solve to a full CFOP solve. • Stuck at the same average? Find the pauses and slow F2L pairs that hold you back. • Chasing sub-10? Sharpen last-layer recognition, learn full ZBLL sets and build consistency for competition. SMART CUBES Connect a GoCube or GAN 356 i to track your turns live while you solve.
