Read full description

Solve My Cube is a local solver for physical 3x3 and 2x2 cubes. Scan the faces with the camera, import photos, or enter stickers manually, then review the detected colors before solving. The app validates the cube state before generating a solution. 3x3 validation includes color counts, centers, pieces, orientation, and parity; 2x2 uses corner-state checks. Solutions run locally on device and are shown as standard move notation with step-by-step playback. Designed for a stuck cube, not speed training: local processing, no ads, no subscription, and no account. Try one solve for free, then unlock unlimited solves forever with a single one-time purchase.
