01One timer, two honest data sources
Manual timing is available on almost any modern browser and works with a keyboard or touchscreen. Smart-cube timing uses the cube’s first turn and solved state, removing the reaction time involved in pressing a key or mat.
SupaKewber keeps Manual and Smart Cube results separate. That prevents automatically detected solves from being mixed into manually stopped averages and makes comparisons between sessions easier to interpret.
02A solve loop designed to stay out of the way
Choose a mode, follow the generated scramble, ready the timer and solve. The result panel records the time and prepares the next scramble so practice does not stall between attempts.
Recent singles, Ao5, Ao12 and longer averages show short-term form and repeatability. A clickable solve history adds penalties, scramble context and progression instead of leaving you with an isolated number.
03Smart-cube data adds the missing explanation
When a compatible GAN cube is connected, SupaKewber follows every turn and detects Cross, F2L, OLL and PLL milestones. Individual stage durations can then be compared across the session.
A slower total can still contain a strong Cross or cleaner F2L. Looking at several stage splits helps separate a real improvement from a lucky scramble or a single fast algorithm execution.
04Choose the timer mode for the training goal
Use Manual mode for hardware-neutral practice, stackmat-style routines or devices without Web Bluetooth. Use Smart Cube mode for automatic starts, move-aware review, live cube mirroring and verified online play.
The best mode is the one you can use consistently. Switching is easy, but comparisons should stay within the same timing source when you are judging progress.
