Blind Cube is designed from the ground up to support blind individuals on their journey with the Rubikโ€™s Cube. Most cubing software relies on visual cues, making the experience inaccessible for those using screen readers. Blind Cube changes this by implementing full VoiceOver support and providing clear, instructions for every action. The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and includes the following functionality: โ€ข Custom Cube Definitions: Tailor the app to your specific equipment. You can register your physical Rubikโ€™s Cube by defining the unique textures found on each center face. Once configured, the app uses your personalized "tactile map" for all scrambling and solving functions. โ€ข Cube Scrambler: Select your cube and generate a new scramble. You can receive step-by-step instructions to reach the intended state and verify the cube's orientation after each move. You can also use the most recent scramble to initiate a solve. โ€ข Cube Solver: Select your cube, input the texture for each block on every face, and tap "Solve." The app provides detailed instructions on how to solve the cube, allowing you to track the cube's state at every step. โ€ข Cube Timer: A built-in basic timer to help you track your solving speed and maintain a history of your recent performances. Additional Capabilities: โ€ข Flexible Instructions: View scramble and solve directions via plain text instructions or standard Cube Notation. โ€ข Data Sharing: Easily copy scramble instructions, generated solutions, or your current cube state to your clipboard.

Erwin is a sliding puzzle played on the six faces of a cube, a unique 3D experience with spatial audio and holographic depth effects. Swipe to slide and merge tiles, or swipe the background to rotate the cube and work the other sides. Tiles have a value that doubles when they merge, and each merge adds to your score. Play long enough and quantum effects begin to appear: some tiles are in superposition, alternating between two values, some entangled and move together, and some even teleport. Play together with friends via Game Center Multiplayer: take turns on a shared cube, watch each other's moves in real time, and climb the cooperative leaderboard. Universal purchase with Family sharing: pay once, and play Erwin on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with up to six family members. Erwin respects your privacy and your wallet. This is an app I wanted for myself without compromise or dark patterns: pay once and it's yours, on all your devices, with no ads, no nagging in-app purchases, no tracking, no profiling.
