Train the cognitive skills you'd rather not lose to AI dependency. MindForge is a brain training app built around four games. Each one is modeled on cognitive science research with a real evidence base for the skill it targets. WORKING MEMORY — Dual N-Back, the task from Jaeggi et al. 2008. SEQUENTIAL MEMORY — Pattern Memory, modeled on the Corsi block-tapping task. ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY — Memory Palace, a CANTAB Paired Associate Learning protocol. LONG-TERM RETENTION — Active Recall, the testing effect from Roediger and Karpicke 2006. Includes a 24-hour retention retest because the testing effect lives in the delay. A few minutes a day. Adaptive difficulty so the games get harder as you improve. Daily challenges keep you on a streak. 30+ achievements and hero metrics for each game. PRIVACY Anonymous product events only (named events like "session completed"). No personal identifiers, no autocapture, no session recording, no IP-linked profiles. Your game scores, streaks, and progress live only on your device. Free, no accounts required, no ads, no in-app purchases. Built by two friends who noticed their own working memory getting worse the more they used AI tools. The research backed up the feeling, so we built the app we wanted to use.

Seven languages — English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian and Chinese — each with a kids' course (words with pictures, sentences, dialogues, stories, alphabet) and an everyday course for teens and adults (greetings, money, travel, hotel, café, directions, work, doctor), all with recorded audio, grammar tips in Georgian, practice for sounds that are hard for Georgian speakers, daily review and exams. One points system with levels, medals and prize chests, a daily gift, a weekly family league and a parent prize. A family duel for 2-4 players on one device; an honest per-skill progress index with a weekly parent report; sticker albums; profile avatars; a 55+ theme and a large-text setting; and a parent panel with screen-time limits. Back up and restore your data any time. No ads. Profiles and progress stay on your device, and the games work offline. Goni+ (optional): the daily workout, 1 game a day, and the alphabet and first unit of every language are free.
