Follow the steps for your phone below; the option sits in the browser menu.
Android (Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet)
- Open 6ecubes.com in the browser.
- Tap the three-dot menu (top right) and choose Install app or Add to Home screen. Chrome sometimes shows an install banner at the bottom of the page; tapping it does the same.
- Confirm. The 6E cube icon appears on your home screen and in the app drawer.
iPhone and iPad (Safari)
- Open 6ecubes.com in Safari. Other iOS browsers cannot add home-screen apps.
- Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow), scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Tap Add. The icon lands on your home screen; opening it gives you the full-screen app.
Windows and Mac (Chrome, Edge)
Look for the install icon at the right end of the address bar, or open the browser menu and choose Install 6E Cube Game. It then opens in its own window and sits in your Start menu or Dock. Keyboard turning is at its best here: U R F D L B to turn, Shift for anticlockwise, Space to scramble.
What you get
| Feature | In the app |
|---|---|
| 3D cube with swipe turns, scramble and timer | Yes, full screen, portrait or landscape |
| Cube solver with step-by-step playback | Yes, runs on the device, works offline |
| Notation trainer and algorithm demos | Yes |
| Your times, Ao5 and Ao12 | Saved on the device, shared with the browser you installed from |
| Home-screen shortcuts | Long-press the icon for “Solve my cube” and “Timer” |
| Guides | Cached after you open them once |
Why a browser app
A home-screen install is smaller than a store download, updates itself, needs no account and asks for no permissions. It also means one codebase: the solver you use on a laptop is exactly the one on your phone. A native Android build of 6E Cube Game is on the roadmap for people who prefer a store; it will be the same app with the same features.
