No hocus-pocus. No “ten years younger”. Just your mind, honestly measured, trained five minutes a day and measured again every 14 days.

A whole day with SynapseGym, rebuilt from the real app. You scroll, the phone does the rest.

  1. 01Today

    Your day in three parts.

    Arrive, train, wind down. The ring shows how far you are today. Below it, your Mind Check is waiting.

  2. 02Mind Check

    First, take an honest look.

    25 short statements about slips over the last two weeks: never, rarely, sometimes, often? Three minutes. Not a diagnosis, but an honest starting point.

    25 questions≈ 3 minutes
  3. 03Profile

    Six skills. One baseline.

    Your answers build your profile, from attention to planning. Plus the exercises that help most right now.

  4. 04Arrive

    First, breathe for a minute.

    Before you train, you arrive: 5.5 seconds in, 5.5 seconds out. Then a moment to notice how you feel.

  5. 05The 5-minute set

    Warm-up. Main set. Finisher.

    Three exercises picked from your profile. Each one tells you up front what it trains and how long it takes.

    3 exercises≈ 5 minutes
  6. 06Train

    Tap the colour. Ignore the word.

    The Stroop test in the main set: the frame drains, hits count, streaks light flames. In the final sprint everything counts double.

    Impulse controlFinal sprint ×2
  7. 07Result

    Honest, not gold stars.

    No grades, just your training zone: 40 to 80 % correct is challenging but doable. Plus what the colour conflict costs you in milliseconds.

  8. 08Wind down

    One sentence, and the day is complete.

    In the evening, one sentence of gratitude. The ring closes, the streak grows by a day.

  9. 09Progress

    Your mind, measured.

    Reaction time, memory span, clarity. Compared only with yourself, with a noise band so a good day doesn’t pass as progress.

03Research

Scientifically Proven

Our training methods are based on peer-reviewed neuroscience research

01

Neuroplasticity

Your brain can form new neural connections throughout your life. Regular cognitive training strengthens these pathways and improves mental performance.

Kolb & Gibb, 2011 - Brain Plasticity and Behaviour

02

ACTIVE Study

In the ACTIVE trial, 2,802 older adults trained memory, reasoning or processing speed. Ten years on, the benefits held up in the ability that had been trained. Only the speed-training group also had a 29% lower dementia risk.

Rebok et al., J Am Geriatr Soc 2014; Edwards et al., Alzheimer's & Dementia: TRCI 2017

03

Mindfulness Research

Studies show that 8 weeks of mindfulness practice can measurably reduce stress and anxiety and improve concentration.

Hölzel et al., 2011 - Harvard Medical School

Finally a great brain training app

I especially like the memory training exercises. I get the impression that I remember things better with them - even in everyday life.
