What this is not
This app is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it does not measure intelligence.
Practising a task reliably improves that task. Evidence that training on tasks like these transfers to everyday thinking is mixed and far from settled. Train because focused practice is useful and measurable, not because an app promised you a sharper brain.
Questions people ask
- What is Brain Gym Daily?
- Free brain training app for iPhone and Android: five-minute workouts built on the Stroop, n-back, Go/No-Go and Corsi tests, scored against your own history. No account and no subscription.
- Does brain training work?
- Regular practice on a task reliably makes you better at that task. Whether that carries over into everyday thinking is mixed and far from settled, so treat each session as useful, measurable practice rather than a promise of a sharper brain.
- How long per day?
- Five minutes of brain training a day, scored against yourself. Each set runs five, ten or fifteen minutes, and the first calibration run through all six exercises takes about five minutes.
- Is it free?
- Yes. The iPhone and Android apps are free: today's workout at any length with all six exercises, calibration, your streak and the last seven days, achievements and settings. Pro is a one-time purchase in the app that adds full history, a chart per exercise and a daily insight, no subscription.
- Does it work offline?
- The iPhone and Android apps carry the same six exercises and work without a signal. Your training data still stays on the device.
- Is my data private?
- Your training data stays on this device. No account, no server, no tracking. The phone apps make one network call, to check a Pro purchase with the store.
- Is there a brain training app without a subscription?
- Yes. Brain Gym Daily is free, and Pro is one purchase that never renews. Lumosity and Elevate, the best known brain training apps, are sold as subscriptions.
- Which exercises are in it?
- Six: Colour Conflict (a Stroop test), Memory Match (n-back), Reaction Control (Go/No-Go), Spatial Sequence (Corsi blocks), Rule Switch (task switching) and Number Sprint (mental arithmetic).
