Big, clear tiles. No timers. And never, ever an ad in the middle of your game. Made for unhurried minds, and for anyone tired of games that shout.

No clock, no countdown, no penalties for thinking. Undo is free. Games are never lost, only finished.
Ads appear only between games, and rarely. One purchase of $6.99 removes them forever. No subscription.
Large tiles, a high-contrast theme and a shapes-on-blocks mode for colour-blind players, right on the settings screen.
Each day brings one gentle puzzle, identical for every player in the world. Scores are comparable, so a grandparent and a grandchild can trade share cards in the family chat. Streaks grow a small garden. Nothing is ever taken away.




If you run activities, a tech class, a memory café or a newsletter for older adults, Gentle Blocks is safe to recommend. It was designed around the complaints people make about other puzzle apps.
"I built this for my grandmother, who kept tapping ads by mistake in other games and losing her place. Gentle Blocks does not do that. It waits."
Himanshu Garg, maker of Gentle Blocks
