Calm logic puzzles.
No ads mid-puzzle. No lives. No tricks.

Quiltwork is a small collection of daily logic puzzles. It starts with Buttonwork: sew one button on every row, column and patch. Hints that teach, streaks you don't lose, and one $4.99 unlock for everything.

  • Every puzzle has one solution you can reach by logic alone
  • Works offline
  • Colorblind-friendly: patterns + letters

Buttonwork #1

One button in each row, column & patch. Buttons never touch, not even corner to corner.

0:00

Tap once for a cross-stitch (a note: "no button here"), twice for a button, three times to clear.

What we don't do

Most puzzle apps make money by interrupting you. We charge once and leave you alone.

Typical ad-supported puzzle appQuiltwork
An ad after every level, sometimes longer than the levelNo ads during a puzzle, ever. The free version launches with no ads at all.

Miss one day and your streak resets to zeroFreeze days you earn, plus 48 hours to make up a missed daily.
Leaderboards full of bots and impossible timesFriends-only boards, with every result checked by the server.
Pay to "remove ads" and still see adsOne $4.99 unlock removes everything. No subscription, no VIP tier.
Needs a connection, asks for trackingFully offline. No ad SDKs, no tracking prompt.
Region colors you can't tell apartEvery patch has its own pattern and letter, tested for color blindness.

A daily puzzle, three ways

Easy, medium and hard every day, free forever. Everyone gets the same puzzle, even offline.

Streaks you keep

Earn a freeze day for every 7 days solved and bank up to 3. Your best streak is never erased.

Hints that teach

"Patch C only fits in row 4, so the rest of row 4 is out." You learn the move instead of paying for it.

Honest friends board

Add friends with a code. Times and hints are shown honestly, and results are checked.

Made for every eye

Patterns and letters on every patch, dark mode, large text, screen-reader labels.

More games, same price

Nonograms as cross-stitch, Sudoku and Killer Sudoku as quilt blocks, binary puzzles in two-tone thread. All included.

One price. Once.

Questions

What are the rules?

Place one button in each row, each column and each patch of fabric. Two buttons can never touch, not even diagonally. These are the classic one-star "Star Battle" rules. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and you can always reach it by logic, with no guessing.

Why one-time instead of a subscription?

A puzzle app doesn't cost us much to keep running, so we don't think you should pay every month. One purchase covers every game we add.

Is it really free to play daily?

Yes. Every daily puzzle stays free, with no ads during play and no lives. The unlock adds more puzzles and the archive.

What happens if the app shuts down?

Everything is on your phone. The app keeps working offline with all the puzzles you have.

When does it launch?

We're testing interest right now. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when the beta opens.
