Haug & Datter
01 · Why

Quiet logic, every morning.

Tenkt exists because a pause for pure logic deserves to be pure. No flashing ads, no profile to build, no button asking for a subscription. Five to ten short puzzles each day, the same for everyone, refreshed at midnight.

I made Tenkt for myself first. It's still the first thing I open over morning coffee.

Available in Norwegian and English. The logic doesn't care which.

02 · How it feels

Five minutes with coffee and thought.

You sit down. Take the first sip. Open Tenkt. A small puzzle, maybe two. You feel awake, finished, and the day can start without having opened a single notification.

The typeface is calm (Cormorant Garamond italic), the sounds are muted (stone on wood when a piece falls into place, a temple bell at the end of the set). If anything sparkles, it sparkles quietly.

Today's set as a path, with the next puzzle ready at the top
Grid: numbers that must be unique per row, column and box
Placement: one diamond per row, column and colour zone
Marathon: one puzzle at a time, against the clock
The Traces store, with symbol packs and themes
The day finished, with time, streak and traces earned

Difficulty builds across the day's set. You wake up gradually with it.

03 · What it does

A new set every day.

Daily set, generated locally. Everyone who opens Tenkt on a given day gets exactly the same set. Between five and ten puzzles spread across the difficulty levels.

Six different puzzle types. Grid, Pathfinder, Placement, Balance, Connect and Area. Each has its own mechanic, all are solved with pure logic, no guessing.

Streaks and stats, locally. Days in a row and your own times, kept on the device. It is the time that counts, not points. If you want to measure yourself against others, there is an anonymous leaderboard, with no profile and no email.

Marathon. One attempt per day, one puzzle at a time, with a countdown running. The run lasts until the timer does. It has its own ranking alongside the daily one.

Traces are the in-game currency. They are earned by playing, and spent on extra hints, undo, a streak freeze or new themes and symbols. You can buy traces too if you want, but nothing in the app requires it.

04 · Price and privacy

Free to play, traces if you want them.

Tenkt is free. Traces are earned by playing and can be bought if you want more, but nothing in the app requires it. Purchases and unlocked items are mirrored to your own iCloud so they survive a change of device.

Puzzles are solved locally, and we run neither servers nor analytics. The leaderboard uses an anonymous iCloud identifier, never a name or an email.
