Features & Capabilities

Free. No ads. No tracking. No nonsense. Just calm puzzles and hints that teach real technique — now with full-screen landscape play, for left and right hands alike.

Sudoku the way it should feel: quiet. No disturbing ads you need to watch first.

Zen Sudoku is a completely ad-free sudoku on warm paper tones, with serif numerals and ink-brush illustrations. No accounts, no tracking, no internet connection at all, the app cannot interrupt you, because it has nothing to interrupt you with. Whether you are a beginner or expert, we got you!

THE APP THAT TEACHES The hint button never just hands you an answer. It names a real solving technique, shows you where to look, and only fills in a cell if you ask it to. It reads your pencil marks, warns when one is impossible, and nudges you to mark the right area when a pattern is hiding. Tap "what is this?" on any technique for a plain-language lesson, from naked singles all the way to X-wings and Y-wings.

EVERY PUZZLE IS FAIR Puzzles are generated on your device and verified by the same logic engine that powers the hints: every puzzle can be solved by pure reasoning. No guessing, ever. Four difficulties, Expert really means expert techniques, not trial and error.

THE DETAILS • Pencil notes with a dedicated notes row, no mode switching • Completed numbers fade on the pad • Auto-save: close the app mid-puzzle, resume exactly there • Statistics, best times, total play time • Light and warm-dark themes • Optional background music, gentle click sounds and haptics — all respectful of your mute switch and your own music

Free forever. If it brings you a little peace, there's a small tip jar, thank youuuuu nothing unlocks, the whole app is already yours.

Lets make this world a beter place.

Learning sudoku and this is the best app ever. No ads or permissions just to sell our data. Just a clean design and easy to use. I rarely write reviews but I truly love this app and when I’m able would love to donate to the developers to keep apps like this around. Truly a gem. Thank you.

I cannot express the complete calm focus I have playing on this app. The music is engaging but not distracting, and the sound design of the clicks is subtle while satisfying. And I love the color options! There’s warm beige, green, blue, and soft pink. Im going to love this on the train as something to do that’s not scrolling. Ty for this app!
