Nothing about you is collected. No analytics, and no third-party code in it at all. Minesweeper, nonograms and bridges never come down to a lucky guess. Sudoku difficulty labels mean something: each puzzle is graded by the techniques a person needs to solve it. Five in Six gives everyone the same word each day and works with no signal. Paddle, Star Guard and Noodle play short sounds. They stay quiet when your phone is on Silent, and one switch in Settings turns them off. ON YOUR DEVICES Your stats and half-finished games follow you to your iPad through your own iCloud. They don't pass through a Plain and Simple server, because there isn't one. Four Up, Dots and Boxes, Low Twelve and Chess can also be played on two devices in the same room. Play Cover Your Bacon or Crazy Eights together on up to four nearby iPhones or iPads: open the game and tap Host or Join (also in Settings › How games play). The devices talk directly to each other; no account, no server, nothing goes to the internet. Both need iOS 26 or later. Sign in with Apple is optional, and asks Apple for no name and no email. Small apps that don't ask for anything. help@plainandsimple.app
