Exercise your mind the way you exercise your body
A collection of exercises across ten cognitive domains — memory, attention, processing speed, reasoning and more. Every game is modeled on a task type studied in peer-reviewed clinical research, and adapts to keep each session challenging but fair.
✨ Free to use until November 1, 2026
Mind Sage is a cognitive exercise program for adults 50 and older, designed by a neurologist who has spent more than 20 years caring for people with memory disorders.
Every Mind Sage exercise is modeled on a cognitive paradigm from the peer-reviewed literature. We start from the task types researchers use to study memory, attention, and processing speed — and turn each one into an exercise that's calm, clear, and genuinely engaging.
What each game trains, at a glance.
15 games across 10 cognitive domains — each grounded in peer-reviewed research, each chosen by a neurologist who works with this population.

| Game | Domain | What it trains | Cognitive skills |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🧠 Memory | |||
| Memory Match Find the pairs | Memory (recognition) | Flip cards two at a time and find every matching pair. Remembering where you saw a card is the part that gets easier with practice. | Visual memory Location tracking |
| Remember & Collect Remember and find | Memory (episodic / recognition) | Study items while doing another task — then recall whether each is exactly the same, only similar, or completely new. | Episodic memory Memory discrimination |
| Where Was It? Where things are | Memory (visuospatial binding) | Objects appear in different rooms. Remember exactly where each was placed — the everyday skill behind finding keys, glasses, and phones. | Spatial memory Object-location |
| Who's Who? Faces and names | Memory (associative) | Learn a name and a fact about each face. Then a short filled pause — you do something else before the names come back, so you have to retrieve them rather than hold them. At the first two levels, a memory tip points out a feature that fits the name. | Associative memory Face recognition |
| ⚡ Attention, Working Memory & Reasoning | |||
| Harvest Time Focus and sort | Attention (selective) | Tap items belonging to the target category as they float past. Four modes — pictures through words — with increasing distractor difficulty. | Selective attention Semantic categorization |
| Quick Catch Stop and go | Attention / executive (inhibition) | Tap your target every time it appears and hold back when it doesn’t. | Inhibitory control Sustained attention |
| In Order In the right order | Working memory | Watch a sequence of tiles light up, then tap them back in the same order — or in reverse at the hardest level. | Working memory Spatial sequence |
| Pattern Path Find the pattern | Reasoning / executive function | Find the rule connecting a row of shapes and choose what comes next. | Inductive reasoning Executive function |
| True or False True or false | Visuospatial | A statement appears about two pictured objects — decide whether it matches what you see. | Spatial relations Visuospatial reasoning |
| 👁️ Processing Speed & Visuospatial | |||
| Speed Bloom Quick spotting | Processing speed / attention | A quick flash shows something in the center — identify it before it disappears. From the second level on, a flower also flashes to one side. | Processing speed Divided attention |
| Mind's Eye Picture it turning | Visuospatial | A shape appears — then four rotated versions. Tap the one that matches — the same shape turned, never its mirror image. | 2D mental rotation Visuospatial reasoning |
| Spot the Difference Spot the change | Perceptual / recognition memory | Decide whether each item is the exact same one you saw, only similar, or completely new. | Visual recognition Perceptual discrimination |
| 🎧 Auditory Training | |||
| Sound Sweeps Rising and falling sounds | Auditory processing | A brief sound sweeps up or down in pitch — decide which direction. | Auditory processing Temporal acuity |
| Tune Trail Play it back | Auditory working memory | Each tile has its own tone — listen to the sequence, then tap the tiles back in order. Expert level adds reverse recall. | Auditory memory Sequence recall |
| Listen & Pick Listen and choose | Auditory / language (practice) | Hear a word in background noise and tap which one you heard from four choices. Noise rises as you improve. | Word recognition Listening practice |
Grounded in the research literature — honestly.
Every exercise has a published source
Every Mind Sage exercise is modeled on a cognitive paradigm from the peer-reviewed literature. Primary-source citations for each are documented in the in-app reference guide.
Careful about what we claim
Mind Sage describes the pedigree of each task, never a promised result for you. It's a wellness product built around published paradigms — it has not itself been tested in a clinical trial, and it does not diagnose, treat, or measure cognition. We think saying so plainly is a feature, not fine print.
Adaptive by design
An adaptive-difficulty engine tunes each exercise trial-by-trial to your personal limit — challenging but fair, never a dead end. Every wrong answer shows the correct one.
Calm & accessible
Large touch targets, readable type, no flashing, and no fail states. Designed with older adults in mind, including those with mild cognitive concerns.
Part of a brain-healthy routine
Alongside diet, exercise, sleep, and social connection.
A calm routine, all in one place.
Mind Sage is built around a daily habit. Alongside the games you get gentle ways to stay engaged, keep on track, and bring the people who care about you along.
See your progress
A calm garden view of your activity — the days you played, your current streak, your personal bests, and how your routine grows over the months. It reflects your engagement and consistency, never a cognitive score.
A playlist made for you
Answer a few questions about your goals and Mind Sage builds a personalized routine — steering you toward the exercises with the most room to grow, and refreshing as your habit develops.
