Short description

The free smart cube app for Android: full reconstruction, case stats and drills on your real cube.

Long description

Cubench is a free speedcubing timer for Android that reads GAN, MoYu and QiYi smart cubes. Every solve is reconstructed: each step timed, recognition apart from execution, every OLL, PLL and F2L case named with the algorithm you used. It reads CFOP, Roux and beginner (LBL) solves, and blind solves with their buffers and targets.

From your real solves it measures every case and tells you which ones you know, which need review and which to learn. Drills set up a case on screen and check it on your cube, catching the wrong angle, a rotation or another algorithm, and a cross drill compares your cross with the shortest one. Without a smart cube it is still the timer it has been for 12 years as Nano Timer: every WCA puzzle, random-state scrambles, multi-step timing, stats and graphs. No account, no ads, open source, and your solves stay on your phone.
