Big readable text, no ads, completely free. Play today's Daily Circuit, see your Mind Score, keep your streak alive — and you're done. No endless feeds, no pressure. Want more? Open the library and play any of the ten games as much as you like. The games Ten games, each based on a paradigm from peer-reviewed cognitive-science research: • Twin Spot — spot two things at once across a widening field of view • Memory Grid — watch a pattern light up, then tap it back • Name Game — match faces to names, the classic everyday memory challenge • Word Forge — grow your vocabulary, one word at a time • Color Clash — say the color, not the word (harder than it sounds!) • Number Sprint — quick mental math against the clock • Flip Switch — follow the rule, then follow the rule that changes it • Shape Shift — rotate shapes in your mind's eye • Trail Blazer — connect the dots in the right order, fast • Sudoku Rush — bite-sized number logic Made to be genuinely good for grown-ups MindMove is designed for people who want to stay sharp — and built so it's a pleasure to use at any age.

An honest note This is a daily mental workout built on exercises from cognitive-science research, designed to keep your mind active and to be genuinely fun. It's not a medical product — it doesn't diagnose, treat, or prevent anything, and we won't claim it makes you smarter or prevents memory loss. What the research actually supports: you get better at what you practice. We'll always be straight with you about that. (Tap "The science" inside the app for the citations behind every game.) Free The whole app is free. No ads. No pop-ups. No tricks. Just a good daily habit for your mind. Move your mind. Every day.
