Read full descriptionHide full description
DotTracks is a calm, minimalist train track puzzle โ draw the rails, mix the colors, and route every train home. Free, no ads, no signup. Each level gives you a grid, a few colored trains, and matching stations. Your job: draw tracks so every train reaches the right station. Start with simple straight paths. Soon you'll be merging trains at crossings, splitting them at junctions, repainting them at paint stations, and routing three colors through the same shared corner โ one wrong tile and a blue train ends up at the red dock. A logic puzzle that's easy to learn and tricky to master. โข hand-crafted levels across four packs (more on the way) โข Merge, split and mix train colors at crossings and junctions โข Repaint trains at paint stations โ white trains are neutral until colored โข Rate the difficulty of every level you solve โข Free and ad-free: no account, no email, no interruptions โข Works offline โ built for short breaks, train rides, and the quiet 5 minutes before sleep โข Available in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish Your progress is backed up automatically under a random ID โ no personal account needed.

Arrow Loop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sharpen your logic in quiet focus. One loop. A few shaded cells. That's the whole rule โ and the longer you look at the board, the clearer your mind becomes. Use the arrow-and-number clues to shade exactly as many cells as each arrow points to, then draw a single closed loop through every remaining cell. Shaded cells never touch side by side, and clue cells are never shaded or crossed by the loop. WHAT YOU GET - A pencil logic puzzle in the Yajilin style: draw the loop, shade the cells - Every board has exactly one answer - Hand-picked boards you can solve by reasoning alone. No guessing required - Four levels from Easy (6x6) to Expert (12x12), graded by the depth of reasoning - Today's puzzle: one board for everyone, set by the date - Drag to draw the loop, tap to shade a cell - Leave a puzzle and continue right where you stopped - Ranks and titles that grow as you solve - Gentle help when you're stuck: mistake highlighting and hints - Six board themes: Indigo, Ink, Vermilion, Pine, Sakura and Night - Fully offline. No sign-up - English and Japanese, in a calm paper-and-ink style MADE FOR YOU IF - You want to turn a few spare minutes into quiet, focused thinking - You enjoy Slitherlink, Nurikabe, Sudoku or nonograms - You're tired of ambiguous puzzles and ad-heavy apps - You love the satisfying click of a single, certain answer - You'd like a small bedtime ritual with nothing chasing you PRIVACY & PEACE OF MIND - No account needed - Puzzles ship inside the app, and your records stay on your device - No third-party ads or tracking - The app shows a small card introducing other apps by the developer (TORANKIRITE). To build it, the app reads public App Store information; nothing about you is sent
