Daily Mandala is a calm iPhone colour puzzle with one mandala a day, the same for everyone in the world. The mandala is a set of coloured rings around a centre, scrambled out of line, and you drag each ring to spin it until every wedge runs a single colour from the middle to the edge.
About Daily Mandala
Each Daily Mandala is a disc of concentric rings split into wedges of colour. At the start the rings are turned out of line, so the colours in each wedge do not match. You drag a ring to spin it, and when every wedge runs one clean colour from the centre to the rim, the mandala opens and the day is done. There are no wrong moves and no penalties.
Everyone in the world gets the exact same mandala each day. Difficulty ramps across the week, from a Gentle Monday to a full Bloom on Sunday. Your solve is timed against a calibrated par, golf style, and earns up to five stars, named Bloomed, Settled, Aligned, Serene and Radiant. A spoiler-free result card lets you share stars and time.
A streak counts each mandala solved, freeze tokens cover a missed day, and Game Center has a leaderboard for each day's solve time, another for the longest streak, and achievements. Game Center is optional; there is no account.
The daily mandala is free with no ads and no tracking, and the app works offline. Mandala+, a one-time unlock, adds an unlimited practice mode. It is one of the single-puzzle daily apps from the maker of Daily Knot and Daily Circuit, and came out in June 2026.

Tips
- Fix the outer ring first and line up the inner rings to it.
- Count each ring's colours: a colour that appears once per ring belongs in one wedge only.
- Small turns are easier to judge than big spins, so nudge a ring wedge by wedge.
- Early-week mandalas have fewer rings; use them to learn the feel before Sunday's Bloom.
