News & Updates

A new game from POLPROG is taking shape. PhotoToPuzzle is currently in active development and internal testing for iOS, with an Android version coming soon - a photo puzzle game that turns any image into a playable challenge. Pick a photo from your gallery or take one with your camera, choose a grid size, and solve. No accounts, no tracking, no internet required.

PhotoToPuzzle is also the first POLPROG app to fully support tablets - iPad and Android tablets - with adaptive layouts that make the most of larger screens. It is built entirely on @polprog/native-ui, the company's own React Native design system.

What is PhotoToPuzzle

PhotoToPuzzle is a focused puzzle game with a single premise: your photos become your puzzles. No stock images, no unlock walls, no consumable hints. You supply the image, the app generates the board, and you solve it at your own pace.

The experience is designed to feel calm and personal. Every puzzle you complete goes into a gallery history with timestamps and stats, so you can revisit your best solves or challenge yourself again with a harder grid.

First app with full tablet support

PhotoToPuzzle introduces adaptive layouts to the POLPROG mobile lineup. A useIsTablet hook with a 600dp breakpoint detects whether the device is a phone or tablet, and the entire UI responds accordingly:

1. On tablets (iPad and Android tablets). Content is capped at 520dp width and the puzzle board scales up to 560px, giving you larger pieces and a more comfortable solving experience.
2. On phones. Content fills the full width and the board caps at 440px, optimized for one-handed interaction.

This is not a simple zoom. Navigation, spacing, typography and interactive targets all adapt to the screen class. The goal is to feel native on every device, not just tolerable.

Built on Native-UI

PhotoToPuzzle is built entirely on @polprog/native-ui - POLPROG's own React Native design system. The library provides 32 components and 9 primitives, all MIT-licensed, and ships with built-in theme support, accessibility defaults and consistent spacing.

For PhotoToPuzzle this means every button, card, modal and input field comes from the same source as the rest of the POLPROG mobile lineup. Visual consistency is not aspirational - it is structural.

What is in the box

1. Daily challenges. A new puzzle every day, generated from curated images, with a global completion badge.
2. Weekly challenges. Harder grids, longer time windows, designed for weekend sessions.
3. Achievements. Milestone-based rewards for puzzles solved, streaks maintained and time records broken.
4. Camera and gallery input. Take a photo or pick one from your library - any image becomes a puzzle.
5. Photo cropping. Frame your shot before generating the puzzle, so you control what ends up on the board.
6. Multiple grid sizes. From 3x3 for a quick solve to larger grids for a real challenge.
7. Gallery history. Every completed puzzle is stored with its image, grid size, time and date.
8. Stats tracking. Total puzzles solved, average time, best times per grid size, streaks and trends.

Privacy by default

The same principles that guide every POLPROG mobile app apply here without exception:

1. No analytics. No third-party SDKs, no event tracking, no telemetry.
2. No accounts. No sign-up, no login, no password.
3. Local-only data. Every puzzle, photo, achievement and stat stays on your device.
4. No cloud sync. Nothing leaves the device. Ever.
5. No ads. No banners, no interstitials, no rewarded video.
6. Atomic backup. Export and import your data as a single, crash-safe file.

Your photos, your puzzles, your device. Nothing else involved.
