About
⏺ Train working memory in 5 minutes a day. Make brain maintenance a habit, like brushing your teeth.
Dual N-Back is a science-based working memory trainer based on Susanne Jaeggi's 2008 paper "Improving fluid intelligence with training on working memory" — optimized for stress-free daily use on iPhone.
■ Built for you if
- You feel your focus has been slipping
- You want to maintain memory as you age
- You've quit other brain trainers (too hard / too gimmicky / didn't stick)
- You want a 70-second session that fits in any pocket of time
- You prefer quiet consistency over flashy gamification
■ Key Features
【Science-Based Training】
The Dual N-Back task — comparing visual position and audio cues simultaneously to N positions ago — is one of the most-studied paradigms in cognitive training (100+ peer-reviewed papers). This app implements the original task faithfully.
【Around 70 Seconds Per Session】
20 trials × 3.5 seconds, finishable on the train, at lunch, or before bed. We don't recommend long sessions — once daily is enough for measurable effect.
【Auto-Adjusting N Level】
The N level (2-9) auto-tunes based on your last 3 sessions' scores. The AI keeps you at "just above your limit" — sustainable challenge for the long haul.
【3 Game Modes】
- Focus: Standard 20-trial session
- Challenge: Maximize consecutive correct answers
- Endless: No time limit, full immersion
【19 Achievement Badges】
"First Play", "7-Day Streak", "Reach N=5", "90% Accuracy" and more. Badges naturally surface progress without nagging push notifications.
【Privacy First】
All scores and history stay on your device. No server transmission, no tracking. Fully Apple Tracking Transparency compliant.
