Sharper at work, five minutes at a time.
Meetings, decisions, and deep work all draw on the same mental tools: focus that holds, memory you can trust, and stamina that lasts past lunch. mindima gives each one a short, deliberate rep, and charts your in-app progress on your device.
Free to start. No account needed to play.
The mechanics behind a sharp workday.
Each set of games targets one mental mechanic you lean on at work. Reps before the day, not instead of it.
Focus that holds
Interference and vigilance games train tuning out the noise, the filter you use every time a notification or a stray thought competes with the task.
Working memory
Span games practise holding the thread, the numbers, the names, the half-finished argument, while you act on it.
Mental stamina
Sustained-attention games build the staying power behind a long afternoon of real work, not just the first hour.
Where it shows up at work.
The mechanics you warm up in five minutes are the ones a demanding day keeps asking for.
The deep-work block
Focus reps make it easier to drop into the task and stay there when the inbox is loud.
The meeting
Working-memory practice helps you hold the thread of a discussion and recall the detail that matters.
The long afternoon
Stamina work keeps your judgement steady when the day runs long and the decisions keep coming.
The mechanics of a sharp workday.
A few well-established findings from cognitive science, each scoped to what the study actually shows, and how mindima puts the mechanic to work.
Task-switching leaves residue
Switching between tasks leaves “attention residue” from the previous one that measurably slows the next, an effect that is strongest when the first task was left unfinished.
Focus games rehearse dropping into one task and staying there.
Leroy, Org. Behavior & Human Decision Processes, 2009Naming a feeling steadies it
Putting an emotion into words reduces activity in the brain’s threat response, a small reset before a hard conversation.
The thirty-second check-ins make that labelling a habit.
Lieberman et al., Psychological Science, 2007Short and spaced beats long and rare
Brief sessions spread across days produce more durable gains than occasional marathons.
mindima is designed around five-minute days, not long sittings.

The games, tools, and surveys for work.
A few of the parts professionals reach for most, and the mechanic each one trains.
- Game
Interference & focus games
Tune out the word fighting the colour, or the notification fighting the task. Selective-attention reps for staying on what matters.
- Game
Working-memory span games
Hold the numbers, the names, the half-finished argument in mind while you act on them, then stretch how much you can carry.
- Survey
Values & stress surveys
Map what matters to you and where the pressure sits, then get games and tools matched to it, all kept on your device.
Built like a game. Backed like a study plan.
Every mechanic has a job: streaks build the daily focus habit, mastery marks real skill, and your charts keep the payoff visible, all measured in-app, on your device.
Streaks build the habit
A five-minute rep before the workday, held daily. Repetition in a steady context is how the habit sets.
Mastery marks real skill
Badges like Memory Master are weekly titles earned with accuracy, never bought. Clear goals pull performance.
Progress stays visible
Your charts show which sessions lift your focus and mood, so every win counts twice.
Why it works: feeling competent and seeing progress toward clear goals are two of the most replicated motivators in psychology. mindima uses them to keep you training, never to keep you scrolling.

Still curious? Fair questions.
Can five minutes before work really do anything?
As a warm-up, yes. A short session gets the focus and working-memory mechanics a demanding day leans on into gear; it’s a rep before the work, not a replacement for it. The app charts your in-app progress so the practice is visible.
Will this make me better at my job?
We won’t promise that. mindima makes you measurably better at the games and the mental mechanics they train, like sustained focus and holding a thread in working memory, and shows you that progress honestly. How it carries into your work is yours to judge.
I’m slammed all day. Can I fit it around meetings?
That’s the design. Sessions are short, and there’s one optional daily reminder at a time you pick, with no streak guilt if a meeting runs over.
Can my employer or team see my activity?
No. Your progress is built from your own activity on your device. There’s no team dashboard and nothing is shared; see the Privacy page for detail.
Does this actually work?
It makes you measurably better at the games and the mechanics they train, and shows you your own progress honestly. We don’t claim more than that; see The Science above.
What do the surveys actually tell me?
Your values, stress patterns, personality traits, and in-the-moment focus and mood. mindima turns those answers into specific game and tool recommendations, on your device. Self-insight, not a clinical assessment.
How much time per day?
Five minutes is a real session. The app is built around short, daily reps, not marathons.
What’s my data doing?
Your insight report is built from your activity on your device. See our Privacy page for the full detail.
What does it cost?
Free forever, with no ads: dozens of games, the daily puzzles, the core tools, and a starter set of surveys. Premium unlocks your complete stats history, the flagship games and the hard puzzle tiers, the full tools and audio library, every premium survey, and the premium reminder tones, with a 7-day free trial. The exact prices are in the pricing section above.
Will it spam me with notifications?
One optional daily reminder at a time you pick, and nothing else. No streak guilt, no win-back campaigns. Turn it off in two taps and the app never mentions it again.
Do I need an account?
Not to start playing.
iOS and Android?
Both.
Start the workday sharper.
Five minutes before the first meeting. Your own focus, honestly measured.
