Cube Brain Trainer

Think faster, not just turn faster. Cube Brain Trainer teaches you to solve the cube step by step โ and trains the part of solving that happens in your head: recognizing cases, recalling algorithms, and deciding your next move. Your first goal: break the one-minute barrier. A guided path from zero to full CFOP - Start with the cross and first layer โ no experience needed - Learn F2L, then OLL and PLL, one bite-sized case at a time - Choose your route: beginner-friendly 2-look, or the full 1-look sets - Full OLL (57) and PLL (21) case libraries, verified move by move Learn by doing, on a 3D cube - Every case comes with a memorable, verified solution - Watch the demo from any angle, pause it, turn the cube yourself - Recognition cues tell you what to look for โ shape and position Practice and see yourself improve - Time attack mode with phase-by-phase stats (cross, F2L, OLL, PLL) - Spot which step slows you down, then jump straight to the lesson for it - Replay any solving move by move, and re-solve a single phase to drill it - Cases fade as your memory does โ review them right before you forget - Streaks and progress tracking keep you coming back Honest about what it trains Your times in this app measure how fast you think โ recognition and recall โ not finger speed. That's the point: build the mental side here, then make your real cube faster with hands-on practice.

CubeSensei

Learn something from every solve. CubeSensei turns your Bluetooth smart cube into a coach. Every turn is read straight from the cube, so each solve is broken down move by move โ cross, F2L, OLL and PLL โ with recognition and execution timed separately. CONNECT YOUR CUBE Works with GAN, MoYu and X-Man smart cubes over Bluetooth. The app remembers the cube you used last and reconnects to it on its own, so you can pick it up and start turning. SEE WHERE THE TIME GOES โข Stage splits for every solve, with recognition vs. execution timing โข Automatic case and algorithm detection โข Replay any solve, move by move, in 3D โข Cross analysis showing the solution you could have used โข Visual aids for every stage, plus "take me there" to set your cube to any position FIND YOUR WEAK CASES โข Per-case charts for time, frequency and turns per second โข Sortable tables that rank your slowest and least consistent cases โข Spot the cases that are slow, frequent, or wildly inconsistent TRAIN THE RIGHT THINGS โข Training Planner โ a plan built around the cases costing you time โข Algorithm Trainer โ drill F2L, OLL and PLL with spaced repetition โข Cross Trainer โ practice efficient crosses and compare with the optimal one โข Algorithm Library โ the complete F2L, OLL and PLL lists, plus notation โข Solve Helper โ step-by-step guidance from any scramble KEEP TURNING Daily and weekly challenges, personal records and statistics that show progress over months, not just today. WORKS OFFLINE Once you are signed in, solving runs on the device. Connect a cube, time a solve and see it broken down with no connection at all. Solves are stored on the device and sync when you are back online; browsing your history needs a connection. A Bluetooth smart cube is required. Every turn CubeSensei times and analyzes is read from the cube, so the timer, the training modes and the analysis need one. Without a cube you can still browse the algorithm library and replay solves you have already recorded. Case charts and statistics are on iPad. Archive, statistics and history-based suggestions need a connection.
