Zen Sort

Some puzzle games want your attention. Zen Sort just wants to keep you company. Pour little animals between glass jars until each one holds a single kind of friend. That's the whole game. There is no timer counting down, no lives to run out, and no way to lose — only a quiet, satisfying click as the last crab settles into place. A GAME THAT NEVER RUSHES YOU • No timers. No lives. No energy meter, ever. • Unlimited undo, always free — never watch an ad to fix a mistake • Par moves are a gentle target, not a punishment • Put it down mid-level and it waits exactly where you left it 3,000 LEVELS, EVERY ONE SOLVABLE Every single level is verified by a solver before it ships, so you will never hit an impossible board. They open gently — four colours at first — and grow to twelve as you find your rhythm. MEET THE SHORE FRIENDS Sort a crab, a sleepy fox, a chick, a frog, a little whale and more. Each one has its own soft voice, so you hear who is moving. Unlock a theme and the whole cast changes with it — nocturnal creatures for Tide Night, garden visitors for Zen Garden. ONE MINDFUL SORT A DAY The Daily Calm is the same puzzle for everyone, refreshed each morning. Keep a streak if you like streaks — and if life gets in the way, a free monthly freeze covers a missed day. No guilt built in. A SHORE THAT FILLS UP Stars wash treasures onto your beach: sea glass, a striped pebble, a message in a bottle, eventually a lighthouse. Twelve to find, all earned by playing. MADE TO BE KIND • Colourblind-friendly — every friend is a different shape, not just a colour • Full VoiceOver support • Reduced-motion setting for anyone who prefers things still • Plays completely offline No leaderboards. No rivals. No streak-shaming. Just you, a beach, and something gentle to tidy.
