By combining brain challenges with real physical movement, SwitchedOn helps athletes, coaches, therapists, and active individuals develop faster information processing and more efficient physical reactions. With SO Vision AI motion detection, SwitchedOn can automatically measure reaction time and movement speed using your device’s camera, turning your smartphone into a powerful reaction time test and training tool.

Quit the habit you've already tried to quit a hundred times. Not by resisting it every day. By building a life it doesn't fit into. Picture six months from now. Your head is quiet. You've got energy for the gym, for your work, for the person you're with. Nothing feels like a fight. You just don't go there. ONE THING A DAY Every morning, one action. Not ten. One. You pick it, you lock it in, you do it, you get credit for it. WHEN THE URGE HITS, TAP SHIFT One two-minute thing to do right now. Cold water. Twenty pushups. Step outside. Text someone. Free, unlimited, always. The worst moment of your day is not the moment to hit a paywall. YOU GET CREDIT FOR WHAT YOU DID Most apps count days clean. Miss one, you're back to zero, and you feel like garbage. Vertane counts actions. XP for what you actually did today. Eight ranks to climb, Seeker to Master. A SLIP TAKES NOTHING FROM YOU Log it. Your XP stays. Your level stays. Your badges stay. Your calendar keeps every day you showed up. The streak resets. That's all. No red anywhere in this app, and no lecture waiting for you. FREE FOREVER - SHIFT, unlimited - Today's action - Your streak - The no-shame reset PREMIUM - Your full calendar and history - XP, levels, 8 ranks, 18 badges - Patterns: when your urges actually cluster - An accountability partner - Breathing and sleep tools No feed of strangers. No fake stats about your brain. No score telling you how broken you are. Nobody has to know you're using this. The name doesn't say what it's for. Neither does the icon. Lock it behind Face ID, and never make an account at all. I built this because I've been there for years, and I got tired of apps that made me feel worse every time I slipped. A setback is the recipe for a comeback. — R. Vertane is free to download. Premium is an annual subscription with a 7-day free trial, or monthly or weekly with no trial.
