Blind Cube vs Earshot

Blind Cube is designed from the ground up to support blind individuals on their journey with the Rubik’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: • Custom Cube Definitions: Tailor the app to your specific equipment. You can register your physical Rubik’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. • 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. • 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. • Cube Timer: A built-in basic timer to help you track your solving speed and maintain a history of your recent performances. Additional Capabilities: • Flexible Instructions: View scramble and solve directions via plain text instructions or standard Cube Notation. • Data Sharing: Easily copy scramble instructions, generated solutions, or your current cube state to your clipboard.

Earshot is an ear-training game that doesn't lecture you about ear training. You play a detective working thirteen cases across a city of musical conmen. Each case is a puzzle box: a chord, a melody, a fragment you have to identify by ear. Solve it and you close the file. Miss it and the suspect stays at large. Three puzzle modes: - Pitch Sort. Tap cells in pitch order, lowest to highest. Sounds simple. It isn't. - Tone Lock. Spin dials until each one matches the note you heard. The dials don't tell you when you're right. - Frequency Stack. Drag tokens between slots until the stack is in ascending order. Audition tokens by tapping. Decide what's higher. Districts ramp from triads in the cellar to dense voicings on the top floor. Skill focus shifts as you go: diatonic shapes, bass intervals, cluster discrimination, chromatic resolution. The difficulty curve is built around what you would actually struggle with, not what is easy to grade. What Earshot doesn't do: - No ads. - No in-app purchases. - No account, no login, no tracking. - No daily streak guilt trip. - No tutorial. The game teaches itself by being honest about what you got wrong. Single-player. Offline. Your progress lives on your device. Universal Purchase: works on iPhone and iPad with one buy. Best with headphones. Optional, but you will hear the difference.
