Sharpen your concentration in five minutes a day. Schulte Table is a calm brain game for focus, attention and visual speed. Find the numbers in order while keeping your eyes on the center of the grid — one simple rule that trains your peripheral vision, concentration and reading speed. This isn't a gimmick. The Schulte table was created by psychiatrist Walter Schulte to study attention, and it has been used for decades to build focus and faster reading. HOW IT WORKS • Keep your gaze in the center • Find the next number or letter with your peripheral vision • Tap the targets in order • Beat your time and make fewer mistakes MAKE IT YOUR OWN • Numbers or letters • 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5 grids • Count up or count down • Shuffle and rotated-cell modifiers when you want a real challenge • Clear results after every round and a training log with your streak Start easy and climb. Kids build recognition and attention; adults get a fast mental warm-up that beats another scroll through the feed. CALM BY DESIGN • No ads, no noise • With Premium, train fully offline • Light and dark themes • iCloud sync for your history and settings across your Apple devices • Available in 12 languages FREE AND PREMIUM • Play one free session every day • Premium unlocks unlimited sessions THE HONEST PART The Schulte table is real attention training, not a magic pill. We don't promise IQ points or medical outcomes. The results come from showing up and doing the rounds. Missing a feature? Write to me from Settings in the app. Build sharper focus and quicker eyes, one grid at a time. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
