Browser-based Bluetooth timing

Turn a GAN smart cube into a hands-free Bluetooth timer

SupaKewber connects to supported GAN Bluetooth Low Energy cubes through the browser. Your first turn starts the solve, the solved state stops it and the live move stream powers CFOP analysis.

Direct answer

Can a Bluetooth cube work as an online timer?

Yes. In a compatible browser, SupaKewber can request access to a supported GAN smart cube, read its Bluetooth move stream and use the physical cube itself as the timing control. No keyboard stop, browser extension or CubeStation session is required.

Complete guide

Understand it, use it and measure it

01

Why time from the cube instead of the keyboard?

A keyboard or touchscreen adds a human stop action after the cube is already solved. A Bluetooth cube reports the move that reaches the solved state, so timing and cube state share the same event.

That does not make every Bluetooth solve an official result, but it creates consistent browser practice and unlocks data that a conventional stopwatch cannot see.

02

Direct connection without a companion app

Wake the cube, press Connect Cube and approve the browser device chooser. SupaKewber requests the GAN Bluetooth services needed for the selected model and retries common GATT handshake failures.

CubeStation and other smart-cube tabs should be closed first. Bluetooth Low Energy cubes commonly accept one active client, so a background app can prevent the browser from discovering services or receiving moves.

03

What the move stream enables

The on-screen cube follows the physical cube, the scramble can be checked against the tracked state and the solve begins on the first post-scramble move. Cross, F2L and OLL completion are detected before the final solved state.

The result becomes a small telemetry record: total time, stage splits, move count where available, scramble, penalties and session position.

04

Browser compatibility is part of the setup

Current Chrome or Edge on a supported desktop system and Chrome on Android are the safest choices. Safari and a standard Firefox installation do not expose the Web Bluetooth API required for direct pairing.

If Web Bluetooth is unavailable, SupaKewber keeps Manual mode available. The smart-cube browser compatibility guide explains platform-specific limitations before you troubleshoot the cube itself.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

Which Bluetooth cubes work?

SupaKewber focuses on GAN protocols used by the iCarry family, GAN 356i generations, GAN 12 ui, GAN Mini ui and several related models.

Do I pair in Windows settings first?

Normally you should start from the Connect Cube button and use the browser chooser. Saved operating-system pairings may be removed when troubleshooting.

Why does another cube app need to be closed?

The cube may only maintain one active Bluetooth client, so another app can hold the connection.

Does the timer work without an account?

Yes for practice. An account adds persistent history and competitive features.
