About

Cube Assistant

Features
Read full description

Cube Assistant scans your 3Γ—3 Rubik's cube with the camera, recognizes all six faces, computes the solution, and walks you through it on an interactive 3D model β€” one move at a time. Whether it's your first solve or you're chasing faster times, there's a mode for you. FEATURES Β· Six-face scanning: scan each face in the frame; the app recognizes the six standard colors and validates color counts, center mapping, and physical solvability before solving. Β· Three solving methods to choose from: - Smart Two-Phase β€” the fastest solution with the fewest moves. - Beginner Layer-by-Layer β€” a real teaching mode: bottom cross β†’ corners β†’ middle β†’ last layer, with each stage's goal and technique explained. - ZZ (edge orientation) β€” orient all edges first, then finish without ever re-flipping them; a distinctive advanced method. Β· Interactive 3D guidance: every step is shown on a full 26-piece cube model with a cyan arrow on the exact layer to turn. Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom. Β· Optional camera assist: turn on the camera during a solve to confirm each move. Β· Tutorial library: learn the four mainstream methods β€” Layer-by-Layer, CFOP, Roux, and ZZ. Β· History & stats: solve count, personal best, time trends, and a leaderboard. PRIVACY Camera frames are processed on-device by default and never uploaded or stored. Recognition and geometric tracking run entirely on your device. Scan, follow the arrows, and solving is no longer a mystery.

Scan your scrambled 3x3 cube and solve it step by step, with every move shown on a 3D cube you can turn and zoom. SCAN ONE FACE AT A TIME A 3D guide shows which color to face the camera and which color goes on top, then turns to the next face as soon as one is captured. Check the result on a 3D preview and fix any square with a tap, or enter the colors by hand. SOLVE WITH CLEAR DEMOS β€’ Short solutions, worked out in about a second on your device β€’ Each move is played slowly on the 3D cube, from the start position, as often as you like β€’ When the next move is on a face you can't see, the cube turns first and waits for you β€’ Standard notation (U, R, F…) with arrows on the layer to turn β€’ Pick up where you left off at any time PRACTICE AND LEARN β€’ Turn any face with a tap; swipe for counterclockwise or half turns β€’ Scramble, undo, type a formula, or let the app solve it for you β€’ Turn your phone sideways to see where every sticker travels, with three short lessons on why moves repeat PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing is sent over the network.
