Speedcuber Timer - A free, fully offline smartcube app for Android and iOS

[Joseph Hale]

Coming soon! On Christmas Day I will be publishing Speedcuber Timer, a smartcube app for Android/iOS that works without an internet connection.

It has all the standard features of a speedcubing timer app:

• Time your solves for any WCA Event, and tons of unofficial events too (with or without a smartcube)
• Scramble generation for all NxNxN cubes
• Averages of 3, 5, 12, 50, 100, 1000
• Charts of your averages over time.
• For smartcubes:
  • Automatic CFOP reconstructions (ZZ and Roux are supported, but not yet shown in the UI).
  • TPS over time graphs
  • Statistics per solution phase

The top unique features I don't think exist anywhere else:

• Solve multiple puzzles in a single solution attempt (e.g. Multi-BLD or Relays)
• Connect multiple smartcubes at once (e.g. for Multi-BLD or Relays)
• Completely offline. After a few assets are downloaded on the first boot, the app never needs internet access.
  • Every other smartcube app requires an active internet connection in order to access the full feature set.

Speedcuber Timer already supports multiple brands of smartcubes:

• Giiker 2x2x2
• Giiker 3x3x3
• GoCube Edge
• GoCube 2x2x2
• Rubik's Connected
• HeyKube
• (Don't see your puzzle? Check again soon. Support for new models is added regularly)

The app will be free to download and use. Here are the links to pre-register to automatically install app the instant it's released:

Apple App Store Pre-Order: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-speedcuber-timer/id6468855171
Google Play Pre-Registration: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.speedcuber.timer

The source code is already publicly available on GitHub. There are lots of options for the community to contribute, even if someone has never written code before:

• Adding translations to new languages.
• Suggest new unofficial events to support.
• Design new event/infraction icons.
• Recommend new features/report bugs.

You already have two downloads!

The second this drops I'll download it on both of my devices

Since you are using smartcube features, will you ever implement a smart timer (QiYi/GAN) function along with it?

Since you are using smartcube features, will you ever implement a smart timer (QiYi/GAN) function along with it?

Those are on the list. I own a GAN smart timer but haven't stopped to add support for it in the app yet. I'm putting a higher priority on adding support for the other smartcubes I own (MoYu, several GANs) and a few key features (ZZ/Roux reconstructions in the UI, scramblers for non NxNxN puzzles, etc.)

You can track progress on the smart timers here:

• Google has approved the app, but is still reviewing the pre-registration so the link might not work immediately.

Can you use the gan smart cubes? If you can this sounds really good and ill get this right away : D

Working on it. Each GAN cube is a little different so they'll come one by one.

Don’t mind being a tester for the qiyi Bluetooth stackmat

Perfect! On Android you should be able to "Join the beta" to get early access to new public builds.

You can also email me at [email protected] if you want to be on the list of alpha testers.
