Keep your mind active, day by day.
A gentle daily habit for a mind that stays engaged: remembering names, following a conversation, staying focused on what you enjoy. mindima turns memory and attention into short, friendly reps, and charts your in-app progress on your device, at your own pace.
Free to start. No account needed to play.
A few minutes for an active mind.
Each set of games gives one everyday mental skill a gentle, enjoyable workout. No pressure, no clock you can’t set, just a daily habit.
Everyday memory
Recall games give a friendly workout to remembering names, lists, and where you put things, the memory you use every day.
Staying focused
Attention games practise holding your concentration on a task, the focus behind following a story or a conversation.
Quick thinking
Light reaction games keep the mind nimble, exercising the speed of noticing and responding in a low-stakes, playful way.
Where it shows up day to day.
The skills you practise for a few gentle minutes are the ones everyday life leans on.
Names and faces
Memory practice gives a friendly workout to recalling the people, plans, and details of the day.
Following along
Attention reps support the focus behind enjoying a book, a film, or a long conversation.
Staying nimble
Light, playful games keep the mind quick and engaged, a small daily habit you can look forward to.
What the research actually says.
Honest about what practice does and doesn’t do. mindima is not a medical device and makes no claims about preventing, slowing, or treating any condition.
Some training effects last
In a large trial of older adults, reasoning and speed-of-processing practice still showed measurable benefits on those trained skills ten years later; memory training did not hold the same way.
We lean toward the kind of speed and attention practice the evidence treats kindly, and we don’t overpromise.
Rebok et al., J. American Geriatrics Society, 2014Recalling beats re-reading
Bringing something back from memory strengthens it more than simply looking at it again.
The recall games turn everyday remembering into a gentle, repeatable rep.
Roediger & Karpicke, Psychological Science, 2006Little and often
Short sessions spaced across days are more effective for memory than one long push.

A gentle set of games, tools, and surveys.
A few of the parts that suit an easy daily habit, and what each one gives a workout.
- Game
Everyday recall games
Remember a short list or where things were, then bring them back. Friendly practice for the memory you use day to day.
- Game
Light reaction games
Spot a cue and respond. Speed-of-processing practice kept low-stakes and playful, the kind the evidence is most encouraging about.
- Survey
Daily mood check-in
A thirty-second note on how you’re feeling. Putting feelings into words is linked to a calmer mind (Lieberman et al., 2007), and it personalises your day.
Easy to keep up. Built to feel good.
Every mechanic has a quiet job: a daily rhythm keeps the habit warm, gentle milestones mark what you have practised, and a simple chart shows your steady progress. No pressure, no clock you cannot set.
A daily rhythm
Show up when it suits you and watch the ring fill. A little and often is what keeps the mind active.
Gentle milestones
Friendly markers celebrate what you have practised. Earned by showing up, never bought, and never a test.
See your steady progress
A simple chart shows how your practice adds up over the weeks, on your device, yours alone.
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.
Will this prevent memory loss or dementia?
No, and we won’t suggest otherwise. mindima is not a medical device and makes no claims about preventing, slowing, or treating any condition. It’s a friendly daily habit that gives everyday memory and attention a gentle workout, with your own progress charted in the app.
I’m not very comfortable with technology. Will I manage?
It’s built to be simple. You can start playing in a couple of taps, no account needed, and the single daily reminder is optional and easy to turn off.
Is it gentle, or is it a race against the clock?
Gentle. You set your own pace, there’s no clock you can’t adjust, and the games are designed to be low-pressure and enjoyable rather than stressful.
What if I miss a day or have an off day?
That’s completely fine. There’s no streak guilt and nothing to lose; the progress chart is there to encourage you, not to judge. Play when you enjoy it.
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.
A gentle daily habit for an active mind.
