About this app

Klondike Solitaire, the way it should be: no advertisements, no purchases, no accounts, and nothing to sign up for. Deal a hand and play. Every card is drawn as vector art rather than a picture, so the deck stays sharp at any size — full screen on a Mac, or a phone held sideways on a train. HOW IT PLAYS • Deal three, with unlimited passes through the deck • Tap a card and it goes where it belongs — to its foundation if it fits there, otherwise to the best column • Drag a card, or a whole run, to place it yourself • Undo as far back as you like, right to the opening deal • Score carries from hand to hand, so a good run is worth something WHEN YOU WIN Every card face up and the deck done means the game can no longer be lost. A door opens at the foot of the table and four gnomes troop out, hold up a banner, and troop back in — with a tune to match. Both can be switched off if you would rather they did not. NO PURCHASE It's free and runs on Mac, iPad and iPhone. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Nothing is collected, nothing is tracked and the game never asks for the network. Your score and your game in progress are kept on your own device.

What's new

Version 2.2 · Aug 21, 2026

Faster, and smoother to deal. Cards are now drawn once and kept, rather than redrawn on every frame. Dealing a hand no longer stutters, and the board responds immediately — most noticeable on older iPads. Dealing a new game no longer gives it away. The cards used to fly from where they lay in the finished hand straight to their new places, so a card you had been looking at all game could be followed to the face-down slot it landed in. The deck is now gathered up first and the new hand dealt out of it. Long columns fit the table. The bottom card of a long column could be cut off by the edge of the board — the one card nothing overlaps, and the one you most need to read. Columns now always fit, and the topmost face-up card keeps enough room to show its value however tight the column gets. Moving a run looks right. A run dropped on a new column used to jump back to where it came from before setting off — most obvious with a King crossing to an empty space. It now travels once, from where you let go to where it lands. New is now held rather than tapped. The button sits close to the cards, and a stray tap dealt a fresh hand with no way back.
