Beginner to CFOP, OLL & PLL
Cubist is a beautifully designed cubing app where you learn, time, and compete — built to WCA standards, for the phone.
Most cube timers just count. Cubist takes you from your very first solve to a spot on the global leaderboard, in one app you'll actually enjoy opening.
LEARN TO SOLVE — FREE
New to the cube? Our step-by-step Layer-by-Layer tutorials walk you through solving a 3x3 from scratch. The cube renders right in the app, highlights the next move, and shows the exact turns — so you learn by doing, not by pausing a blurry video and squinting at someone else's hands. Each stage is broken into small, repeatable steps you can practice until it clicks. Every beginner lesson is free, forever.
A WCA-GRADE TIMER — FREE
This is the timer serious cubers expect. Real 15-second inspection with +2 and DNF applied at the official boundaries. Centisecond precision down to 0.01. ao5, ao12, ao50, and mo3 calculated the WCA way, with best and worst solves trimmed exactly as they should be. Official-spec scramble generation for every single solve. A clean, distraction-free solve screen with a big, readable timer and a generous touch area, so a fumbled start never costs you a personal best.
COMPETE — GLOBAL, REGIONAL, FRIENDS — FREE
Cubist is a competition platform, not just a stopwatch. Climb per-event leaderboards filtered by the whole world, your country, your continent, or just your friends. Every ranked solve is server-verified, so a place on the board actually means something — no fake times, no padded averages. Add friends by username or QR code, follow their progress, and put your averages head to head in a friendly rivalry that keeps you coming back.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS — FREE
A clean personal best for every average, your full solve history, and basic session stats — all synced to the cloud for free so they follow you to any device. Lost your phone? Your records are safe. Cloud sync is never paywalled, because it's what puts you on the leaderboard in the first place.
