Train the mind you compete with.
Chess, esports, poker, anything won in the head and under a clock: the same mechanics decide the late game (processing speed, pattern memory, attention that doesn’t fade). mindima gives each one a measurable rep, and charts your in-app progress on your device.
Free to start. No account needed to play.
The mechanics behind clutch play.
Each set of games isolates one mechanic competitive play leans on. Warm up with them before a session; watch your in-app numbers move with practice.
Processing speed
Reaction and rapid-decision games train the see-it-act-on-it loop, the milliseconds between reading the board and making the move.
Pattern memory
Span and recall games exercise holding positions, lines, and sequences in mind, the working memory behind calculation and map awareness.
Attention that lasts
Sustained-attention games practise staying locked in through the long middle, so move forty gets the same mind as move one.
Don't take our word for it. Take a turn.
One demo per pillar. This is exactly how a session feels. Nothing to download or sign up for.
Hold the pattern
Four cells light up, then hide. Tap them back. A clean test of working memory.
Memorise the pattern, then tap it back.
Surveys, games, and tools. One loop.
The surveys match you to what works, and each tool’s daily practice keeps you coming back. That loop is what makes the training stick, and what you won’t find anywhere else.
Check in
Thirty-second surveys map your values, stress, traits, and in-the-moment focus and mood.
Train what counts
You get the exact games and tools for your goal, never a generic drill. And every tool comes with its own daily practice, a five-minute rep that makes the habit stick.
See what works
Charts connect sessions to check-ins, and streaks and mastery make showing up feel like winning.
Built like a game. Backed like a study plan.
Every mechanic has a job: streaks build the practice habit, mastery marks real skill, and your charts and personal bests keep the payoff visible.
Streaks build the habit
Show up daily and watch the ring close. Repetition in a steady context is how habits form.
Mastery marks real skill
Badges like Memory Master are weekly titles earned with accuracy, never bought. A clear bar to clear, set after set.
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.

Training that works, by design.
Tested beats re-read.
Recalling something cements it far better than re-reading it.
Every memory game is a recall rep.

Learning is fastest just above your current level.
Games adapt every rep to keep you there.

Short, spaced sessions beat marathons.
mindima is built around five-minute days.
Cepeda et al., Psychological Bulletin, 2006Play keeps you coming back.
Gamified learning measurably lifts motivation and engagement.
Streaks, mastery tiers, and visible progress do that job here.

Honestly measured.
Your progress is charted from your own sessions, on your device. Where the evidence is unsettled, we say so plainly.
Still curious? Fair questions.
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. By default nothing leaves your device; encrypted sync and the web dashboard are optional and off until you turn them on. See our Privacy page for the full detail.
What does it cost?
Free forever, with no ads on any tier: 21 of 55 brain games, 45 of 125 mental tools, 8 of 23 surveys, and the daily puzzle every day. Premium adds the complete catalogue, the hard practice tier on every daily puzzle, your record synced across every device, and your full year of history with the web dashboard. There is a 7-day free trial, and the plans and prices are on the pricing page. See the plans and prices.
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.
