Study sharper, not just longer.
Recall under exam pressure, focus that survives a long session, and reading that keeps up with the syllabus all rest on trainable mechanics. mindima gives memory, attention, and reading speed short, deliberate reps, and charts your in-app progress on your device.
Free to start. No account needed to play.
The mechanics behind studying well.
Each set of games targets one mechanic studying leans on. Five-minute reps that warm up the mind before a session.
Recall
Span and recall games exercise holding and retrieving information, the working memory behind learning that sticks past the exam.
Study focus
Interference and vigilance games train staying on the page when a phone, a tab, or a daydream competes for attention.
Reading speed
Pacing games practise reading faster with fewer backtracks, so you cover more of the reading list with comprehension intact.
Where it shows up while you study.
The mechanics you warm up in five minutes are the ones every study session and exam keep asking for.
The exam
Recall practice makes retrieving what you studied feel steadier when the pressure is on.
The study session
Focus reps help you settle into the material and stay there instead of drifting to your phone.
The reading list
Reading-speed work helps you get through more pages while keeping the meaning with you.
Why this works for studying.
A few findings from learning science, scoped to what each study shows, and how mindima turns them into practice.
Retrieval beats review
Recalling material from memory cements it far more durably than reading it over again, the “testing effect”.
Every memory game is a retrieval rep, not passive review.
Roediger & Karpicke, Psychological Science, 2006Spacing beats cramming
The same study time spread across several days produces better long-term retention than one long session.
mindima is built around short daily reps, not all-nighters.
Cepeda et al., Psychological Bulletin, 2006Skilled readers’ eyes move differently
Practised readers fixate for less time and make fewer backward jumps (regressions) across a line.
The reading games train pacing and fewer backtracks, with a comprehension check each round.
Rayner, Psychological Bulletin, 1998
The games, tools, and surveys for studying.
A few of the parts students reach for most, and the mechanic each one trains.
- Game
Recall & span games
Hold a growing sequence in mind and reproduce it, a clean workout for the working memory you lean on when retrieving what you revised.
- Tool
Paced reading (RSVP)
Words flashed one at a time, then a quick comprehension question, so you push reading speed without dropping the meaning.
- Survey
Focus & mood check-in
A thirty-second read before a session. Naming your state is linked to calmer attention (Lieberman et al., 2007), and it tunes what mindima suggests next.
Built like a game. Backed like a study plan.
Every mechanic has a job: streaks build the study habit, mastery marks a longer memory span, and your personal bests keep the payoff visible.
Streaks build the study habit
Show up daily and watch the ring close. Short, spaced reps in a steady context are how revision sticks.
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.

- Goal setting: Locke & Latham, American Psychologist, 2002.

Still curious? Fair questions.
Will this improve my grades?
We won’t promise grades. mindima trains the mechanics studying leans on, recall, sustained focus, and reading pace, and charts your in-app progress. The science section explains why recall practice and short, spaced sessions help learning stick; how that shows up in your results is down to your studying.
When should I use it around studying?
As a short warm-up before a session: five minutes to settle your focus and get recall going, rather than instead of working through the material itself.
Does it actually help me read faster?
The reading-speed games practise reading with fewer backtracks and end with a quick comprehension check, so you train pace and understanding together, not just skimming. You’ll see your own numbers move in the app.
Is it free for students?
It’s free for everyone to start, with no account needed and no ads. Premium is optional; the exact prices are in the pricing section above.
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.
Warm up before you hit the books.
Five minutes before a study session. Your own progress, honestly measured.
