Ever wonder whether your mind is as sharp as usual — or if fatigue is quietly slowing you down? CogniTrack gives you an objective answer. Using a scientifically validated reaction time test, you can measure your mental alertness in under a minute and track how it changes throughout the day. HOW IT WORKS When a visual cue appears on screen, tap as fast as you can. Your reaction times reveal how alert and focused you are in the moment — no guesswork, no subjective ratings. The test is powered by the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT), the same method used by NASA, the US military, and sleep researchers worldwide to assess sustained attention and fatigue. SET YOUR PERSONAL BASELINE Start by taking a 10-trial baseline test when you're fully rested — ideally first thing in the morning. This establishes your personal "best" reaction time as a reference point. Then use quick 6-trial checks throughout the day to see how you compare. Are you still sharp after lunch? How about late in the evening? After that extra cup of coffee? Now you'll know for sure. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER • How sleep quality affects your next-day performance • The real cognitive cost of staying up late • Whether caffeine, naps, or breaks actually help • Your personal alertness patterns over days and weeks FEATURES • Quick Check — A fast 6-trial test you can do in under 30 seconds • Personal Baseline — Establish and update your rested reference point • Trend Charts — Visualize your alertness patterns over 7, 30, 90 days, or all time • Performance Ratings — Instantly see if you're performing at Superb, Good, Sluggish, or Impaired levels relative to your baseline • Full History — Browse, search, and review every test you've taken • Guest Mode — Let friends or family take a test on your device without affecting your data • Data Export & Import — Back up your records as JSON whenever you want • Privacy First — All data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. BUILT FOR SELF-AWARENESS CogniTrack is not a game — it's a personal wellness tool designed to help you build self-awareness about your cognitive performance. By making mental alertness measurable, you can make better decisions about rest, work, and daily routines. Note: CogniTrack is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition.

The app dynamically adapts to your behavior: If you move into the shade or partial shade, your remaining sun exposure time is recalculated with a single tap. The same applies to activities like swimming, sweating, or spending time on reflective surfaces such as snow or sand. This ensures your estimate remains realistic and up-to-date at all times. You’ll be notified in time before your skin is damaged. The app also reminds you when to reapply sunscreen—for optimal protection all day long. Transparency is key: In the Info section, all calculations are clearly explained, and you’ll find in-depth information about UV radiation, skin types, and effective sun protection. The free version already offers all the essential features to reliably protect you from the sun. With the Pro version, you get even more out of the app: • Create multiple profiles and conveniently manage your whole family • Start tracking your sun exposure retroactively if you forgot to open the app in the morning • One-time purchase for €9.99 – ad-free for life Whether in everyday life, on vacation, or while exercising—this app adapts to you and helps you enjoy your time in the sun safely and mindfully. Not medical advice or a medical device!
