Sumi

A quiet sudoku practice.

Ink on paper. Nothing in the way. Sumi is a daily Sudoku app designed around stillness. No leaderboards, no nagging notifications, no celebration confetti. Just the grid, warm paper underneath, and the quiet satisfaction of placing the last number.


Empty space is not empty. It is waiting.
House, Sumi quote book

Daily

One puzzle a day, the same for everyone — generated deterministically from the date so the difficulty curve is shared.

Stillness

No leaderboards, no nagging notifications, no "you broke your record!" overlays. Skip a day, skip a week — the puzzle waits.

Record

Quiet stats. Personal bests by difficulty, an improvement curve, a calendar of the days you played. Nothing more.

Aesthetic

Warm washi paper, soft ink tones, an editorial serif typeface, and Japanese typographic accents. Sudoku as it should look.


A puzzle in progress. Given numbers in ink; your numbers in fountain-pen teal.


Sumi tints itself to the calendar. Sakura, leaf, maple, and snow — the petals know what month it is.

Spring Haru / Sakura
Summer Natsu / Leaf
Autumn Aki / Maple
Winter Fuyu / Indigo
