Squoku helps people finish and keep printed Sudoku puzzles without typing every clue by hand. It runs on iPhone, iPad and native Apple-silicon Mac. Scan a puzzle or import a photo, review the recognized grid, then ask for a free scanner Hint or a verified complete solution. Mac also supports opening, pasting and dragging in images. A scanner Hint shows a verified digit without spending a complete-solution allowance. Two unique confirmed solutions are included. Optional single-puzzle purchases unlock a complete solution; a one-time Pro purchase unlocks unlimited solutions and in-app play on the captured photograph or a clean grid, with local progress and notes. Recognition, solving and History stay on the device. No account, puzzle upload or subscription is required.

Lifetime Pro is an optional one-time purchase for detailed effect and Fisheye Room settings, every animation adjustment and watermark removal. There is no subscription. Source photos are processed on the device. No account or photo upload is required. Input is a photo; source video and audio import are not supported.
