Every day at 00:00 UTC, for everyone at the same moment. The solved screen shows a countdown to the next Dayray. Everyone gets the same puzzle on a given day, and it is made on your iPhone, so it plays offline.

Yes, with Dayray Pro: the archive holds every past daily back to No. 1. Playing a past puzzle doesn't change your streak.

Sign in with the same Apple ID you bought it with, then tap Restore Purchases in either place:

• Settings (the gear on the Today tab) › Restore Purchases.
• The Dayray Pro sheet: Archive tab › See Dayray Pro, or Settings › Dayray Pro.

Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and Family Sharing is on.

• The archive: every past daily back to No. 1.
• Endless practice: a fresh generated puzzle every time.
• The Sunprint and Daybreak colour themes (Darkroom is the free default). Every theme has a light and a dark version.

Today's puzzle and the 20 practice puzzles stay free without it.

No. The tip jar in Settings has three optional tips that only say thanks. They unlock nothing; Dayray Pro is the one purchase that adds features.

Purchases are handled by Apple, so we can't issue refunds ourselves. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com, signed in with your Apple ID, and choose the Dayray purchase.

On your iPhone, with a copy in your own iCloud key-value storage when iCloud is on. That copy holds your Pro unlock, whether you finished the lesson, your solved days and results, archive days, best streak, practice progress, endless count, theme choice and which achievements were already reported. A reinstall or a new iPhone on the same Apple ID picks it up.

There is no sign-in and no account, and we never see your progress.

Then everything stays on this iPhone only. Your settings (haptics, sounds, reminder) and the moves of a puzzle you are in the middle of always stay on the device.

Game Center is optional and used for achievements only; there are no leaderboards. Dayray has five: First Light (first daily solved), Three Bright Days (3-day streak), A Week of Light (7-day), A Month of Light (30-day) and Practice Complete (all 20 practice puzzles).

Dayray uses the Game Center account signed in with the Apple ID on your iPhone. To sign in, open the iPhone's Settings › Game Center. Your achievements are under Achievements in Dayray's Settings, and they are sent only while you are signed in.

Open Settings in Dayray (the gear on the Today tab) and switch Daily reminder. It is off until you turn it on. The first time, iOS asks for permission to send notifications.

Pick the time you like; it starts at 09:00. You can also turn it off in the iPhone's Settings › Notifications › Dayray.

No. It is a local notification scheduled on your iPhone only (“Today's Dayray is ready”). Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.

Sounds start off; switch them on in Settings. They are short iOS system sounds and follow the silent switch. Haptics have their own switch. Dayray supports Dynamic Type up to the largest accessibility size, VoiceOver and Reduce Motion, and light and dark follow your iPhone.
