Sortcery
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pour, sort, and cast a little magic. Sortcery is a relaxing water sort puzzle with a magical twist. Pour colored water between bottles until every bottle holds a single color. It takes one finger to play and a moment to learn โ but the further you go, the more your planning matters. THE GRAVITY SPELL Sortcery's signature move. On special spell levels, you can flip the liquid in every bottle upside down โ once per level. Colors buried at the bottom rise to the top, and choosing WHEN to cast becomes part of the puzzle itself. FEATURES โข Endless levels that grow steadily more challenging โ every single one is generated to be solvable โข The Gravity Spell: a one-time, board-wide flip that rewards clever timing โข Undo your last pour, restart anytime, or use a hint when you're truly stuck โข Unlock new bottle shapes as you progress: slim vials, flasks, jars, boots and bathtubs โข Calm pacing with soothing sounds and satisfying pours โ no timers, no move limits, no pressure โข Play in English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Simplified Chinese โข Designed with VoiceOver and accessibility in mind HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap a bottle to pick it up 2. Tap another bottle to pour โ matching colors on top can be poured together 3. Sort every color into its own bottle to clear the level Whether you have thirty seconds or thirty minutes, Sortcery is an easy place to unwind. Pick a bottle, pour, and let the colors fall into place.
Odds & Ends

Six small things to keep your hands busy. Odds & Ends is a box of sensory toys. No score, no timer, no streak, no way to lose. Open it in a waiting room, in a meeting, or at the end of a long day, and put it down whenever you like. WHAT'S INSIDE Bubbles โ a sheet of bubbles that pop and quietly come back. Sliders โ sliders that click through their detents. Sand โ draw a groove with one finger. What you draw stays until you smooth it flat. Latches โ twenty catches, bolts, hooks and switches that open and shut. Spinner โ flick it and let it run down. A hard flick runs for the better part of a minute. Beads โ one long rod of beads to send through the straights and the bends. Bubbles and Sliders are free, and stay free. The other four come as a single purchase โ one payment, no subscription, on every device you own, and shareable with your family. MADE FOR RESTLESS HANDS Built for people who fidget: ADHD, autistic, anxious, or simply unable to sit still. Light, dark and system appearance. Three colour themes, every one measured for contrast. Colour-blind support โ shapes and markers, never colour alone. Reduce Motion respected, or turned on just for this app. Haptics and sound you can soften or switch off. Sound never interrupts your music or your podcast. Bolder text. Full VoiceOver labels and actions on every toy. Settings reachable from inside every toy, because the moment you want the sound down is the moment it is too loud. QUIET BY DESIGN No ads. No accounts. No sign-in. No notifications. No tracking of any kind โ the app collects nothing about you, and never asks who you are. Nothing counts how many days in a row you have come back. Works on iPhone and iPad, sized properly for both.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sortcery at none against Odds & Ends's 1. Odds & Ends's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
