Keeping your mind active should feel like a treat, not a chore.

Mindym is a small, independent app made by people who love puzzles and care about doing this honestly.

Why we built it

Brain-training apps tend to fall into two camps: dull drills that feel like homework, or slot-machine games that promise more than any game can deliver. We wanted something in between: a few minutes a day that you genuinely look forward to, with numbers you can trust.

So Mindym pairs a short daily workout of quick games with 7 fresh logic puzzles and a daily quiz, and wraps them in streaks and friendly challenges so the habit sticks.

What we believe

• Honesty over hype. We don’t claim Mindym prevents dementia, raises your IQ or reverses ageing. Your scorecard shows what the data says, including when there isn’t enough of it yet.
• Effort, not ranking. Friends see your streaks and puzzle times, never your scores. Playing is what counts.
• Calm by design. No endless feeds, no ads, and at most one reminder a day if you ask for it.
• Your data is yours. We collect what the app needs to work, never sell it, and let you delete everything from inside the app.

How the games work

Each of the 14 games is based on a well-studied task from cognitive science, covering memory, attention, speed, flexibility, reasoning, language and numeracy. Games adapt their difficulty to you, and scores account for both accuracy and speed. The daily puzzles are generated fresh each day and are the same for everyone, so you can compare times with friends.
