Put the kettle on. Somewhere under the scattered papers and stray teacups is a lovely little home, and it's waiting for you. Cozy Sort Studio is a calm puzzle game about bringing tired rooms back to life. Tap or drag each mug, book, jam jar and pin cushion to the spot where it belongs, and watch the room brighten as you go. Sunlight comes back to the windows, shelves fill up, and a dusty corner turns into somewhere you'd actually want to sit. No timers. No lives. No rush. Just you, a cup of something warm, and the quiet joy of putting things where they go. FIVE ROOMS TO RESTORE Start in a sunlit breakfast nook, then move on to a reading corner, a maker's studio, a laundry sunroom and a garden porch. Every room is hand-painted, has its own music and ambience, and looks completely different once you've cared for it. EVERY LITTLE THING HAS A PLACE Objects settle onto shelves and rails with a soft sound and a gentle tap in your hand. Clear a room and it opens up in front of you, before and after. Not sure where something goes? Ask for a gentle hint, or undo your last move. MAKE IT HOME Each tidy room earns warmth. Spend it on home details like a folded throw, a lamp's evening glow, a plant shelf or a framed photo wall, and watch your whole home fill in. Keepsakes from every room remember the spaces you've restored. A LITTLE CARE EACH DAY A fresh daily ritual gives you a small, gentle reason to come back to a room you love, and each one leaves a ritual stamp to keep. DAY OR EVENING Play in warm daylight, or let the game follow your iPhone into Dark Mode for a softer evening palette, with matching dark and tinted app icons. CALM FOR EVERYONE Cozy Sort Studio was built to be played by everyone, not only the lucky few: • Full VoiceOver support • Voice Control support • Larger Targets for easier tapping • Reduced Motion support • Text that follows your Dynamic Type size, all the way up to the largest sizes • Increase Contrast and Bold Text support • Tap-only play, no dragging required Perfect for anyone who loves tidying, decorating, cozy games, or a quiet moment at the end of the day.

KELORIC is a thermal-physics puzzle game. You don't draw paths. You don't push blocks. You place heat and cold sources on a grid of materials — metal, glass, wood, ice, wax, walls — and let the heat actually flow. Every cell is simulated tick by tick. A metal corridor spreads heat fast. Wood throttles it. A wall stops it dead. An ice pack absorbs heat, holds the path closed, and then — once enough energy has melted it — turns into water and lets the heat through. Wax does the same trick at 50°C, then floods heat through faster than metal. Place your sources, watch the temperature spread, and hold every target inside its band long enough to win. — REAL PHYSICS — A cellular-automaton solver drives every cell on the board. Heat moves between neighbors based on conductivity. Materials with high heat capacity warm slowly. Phase-change cells stall the system, absorbing latent heat before transforming. There are no hidden rules: what you see in the colors is what the simulation is doing. — SIX PACKS · 178 PUZZLES — • Fundamentals (free) — 28 levels including a phase-change introduction. Learn the mechanics step by step. • Advanced — 25 levels of tighter routes and narrower target bands. • Extremes — 25 levels with ±10°C bands and unforgiving budgets. • Impossible — 25 levels for players who beat the rest and want more. • Crucible — 25 levels built around melting ice. Heat dams, buffer races, slow burns, cascading melts. • Forge — 20 levels built around wax. Solid wax blocks heat like wood. Heat it to 50°C and it melts into molten wax — which conducts heat faster than metal. Burn through gates, time your melts, mix wax with ice for compound puzzles. — DAILY + ENDLESS — A new puzzle every day, generated from the date. Build a streak. One missed day per month is forgiven. Endless mode generates infinite puzzles with rising difficulty. How far can you push your streak before a level breaks you? — GAME CENTER — Fourteen achievements. Two leaderboards. Compete on Endless best streak and Daily current streak. — BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD — Universal layout. Portrait on iPhone, all-orientation on iPad. Drag to paint, double-tap to erase. CloudKit syncs your progress across devices. — NO ADS. NO ENERGY METER. NO TARGETED TRACKING. — Buy a pack once, own it forever. Free packs are genuinely free — no premium currency, no daily limits. Optional anonymous gameplay analytics help us tune level difficulty (opt-out in Settings → Privacy). No personal data is collected. — SHARE YOUR FAVORITES — Export any level you've played as a `.keloric` file or paste-code. Import others' levels straight into the app from a URL or AirDrop. If you liked Hexcells, Opus Magnum, SpaceChem, or Zachtronics games, Keloric is built in that lineage — but with a physics core that gives every puzzle a fingerprint-unique solution path.
