Features: • Manual sticker entry with configurable center colors • Physical cube validation with actionable feedback • Verified, on-device 3×3×3 solving • Interactive move-by-move 3D instructions • Playback controls and adjustable speed • Autosaved drafts, solve history, and progress resume • Reduced Motion, Dynamic Type, and non-color labels CubeSight requires no account, contains no advertising, and never requests camera access. Drafts, solve history, and instruction progress stay on your device.
