All games

A fake feed scrolls past. Tap the good posts. Leave the bait alone. The bait gets more ridiculous as you improve.

Scroll ResistV1
▲ 20 lvl◷ 90s

Quick sums, four answer buttons, no calculator. A sarcastic calculator roasts wrong answers and grudgingly respects right ones.

Math RoastV1
▲ 20 lvl◷ 60s

See what's on the fridge. The door closes. Pick what the raccoon stole. The raccoon leaves notes.

Fridge MemoryV1
▲ 20 lvl◷ 75s

Tap the ink colour, not the word. Classic Stroop, with a cat. The cat yells the wrong colour at you.

Stroop CatV1
▲ 20 lvl◷ 60s

Pick the item that does not belong. The categories get absurd. "Things that have been to space."

Odd Chicken OutV1
▲ 20 lvl◷ 75s

Thought bubbles drift by. Tap the useful ones before they pop. Ignore the intrusive ones. The intrusive thoughts are painfully relatable. "Did I lock the door?"

Catch the ThoughtV1
▲ 20 lvl◷ 60s

Rotate a shape until it fits the gap. The gaps are parking spots in impossible places.

Reverse ParkingV1
▲ 20 lvl◷ 90s

Digits get sliced one by one. Recall the sequence. The ninja is terrible at counting.

Number NinjaV1
▲ 20 lvl◷ 60s
All twelve games

Five minutes.
Then the rest of your day.

Three games picked by the planner, a result card with one joke, a streak that survives a missed day. Every character has something to say about it.

  • Focus: notice the bait and leave it. Scroll Resist, Stroop Cat.
  • Logic: the odd one, the pattern, the fit. Odd Chicken Out, Reverse Parking.
  • Speed: decide faster without getting sloppy. Math Roast, Catch the Thought.

The loop

Open, play, laugh, close. Come back tomorrow.

01

Today's Snack

The planner picks three games. Never the same game two days running, always one from the skill you did worst in last week.

02

A result card

A score out of 1,000 per game, one joke, and your streak. Share it if you want to. Most cards are worth sharing.

03

The Sunday report

Once a week, your numbers plus commentary from the characters. Premium. Nobody gets a lecture.

The honest part

Does this actually work?

Short answer: you get better at what you practise, and some of that carries over to similar tasks. We say what training does and does not do, in the app and here.

What we promise

Sharper on the things you practise.

  • Five minutes you'll actually want to do.
  • Levels that adapt so you keep improving at the games.
  • Numbers you can watch move week to week.

What we never say

No IQ claims. No medical claims.

  • We don't say SharpBrain raises your IQ.
  • We don't say it prevents or treats any condition.
  • We don't say it is “scientifically proven” to make you smarter.

Questions

Things people ask before they download.

We don't claim that. Practising a skill makes you better at that skill, and some of that carries into similar tasks. Nobody has shown that brain games raise IQ or prevent dementia, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we promise is five minutes a day that you actually want to do.

About five minutes: three games of 60 to 90 seconds each, picked for you by the planner. One Snack a day is free, forever.

No. You can play anonymously from the first open. Sign in with Apple only if you want your progress to survive a new phone.

Unlimited Snacks, every game in free play, the weekly Brain Report, share cards without a watermark, IQ test retakes with the full breakdown, and the detailed Brain Type page. The health screeners stay free for everyone.

They use published, public-domain questionnaires (ASRS v1.1 and GAD-7) with the original wording and scoring. They are screeners, not diagnoses. If your answers suggest a professional check, we say so plainly and point you to help. They are never paywalled and never used in ads.

No. SharpBrain is written for adults between roughly 18 and 35 who feel their attention got fried by scrolling. The content is clean, but the jokes are not for children.
