Description
Sharpen your chess with one tactic a day. Tacticat gives you a fresh chess puzzle every morning, an adaptive rating that always serves puzzles at your level, and a built-in Coach that explains the idea behind every move — so you stop guessing and start seeing the board like a stronger player.
Every position is a real, hand-verified tactic from the open Lichess puzzle database, bundled right in the app. No account, no sign-up and no Wi-Fi needed — just you, the board and the next winning move, wherever you are.
LEARN WITH COACH
After every puzzle, the Coach names the tactical motif — fork, pin, skewer, discovered attack, back-rank mate and more — so you learn the pattern, not just the answer.
Each puzzle comes with a plain-language explanation of why the move works, plus the full solution in standard chess notation.
Recognise the same ideas again and again in your own games and convert them into real points.
PROGRESS AT YOUR OWN LEVEL
Your personal tactics rating rises and falls as you solve, so puzzles are never too easy or too hard.
Start gently and climb: five difficulty bands from beginner to expert, powered by thousands of rated positions.
A clean stats screen shows your rating over time, accuracy, best streak and solves by level.
A PUZZLE EVERY DAY
The Daily Puzzle sets one fresh tactic for everyone each day — solve it to keep your streak alive.
Build a day streak, chase your best run and make chess training a habit that sticks.
Miss a day and pick right back up — your rating, streak and history are always saved on the device.
TRAIN THE WAY YOU WANT
Adaptive Training serves an endless stream of puzzles tuned to your rating.
Or pick a level and drill a specific difficulty — beginner mates, middlegame tactics or expert combinations.
Tap a piece to see its legal moves highlighted; a hint or the full solution is always one tap away.
MAKE THE BOARD YOURS
Earn coins for every solve and unlock 10 elegant board styles — classic wood, emerald, ocean, marble, midnight, sakura and more.
Chase dozens of achievements across solves, streaks, fast finishes and expert puzzles.
