A little mental exercise every day. No rush.
BrainPlay is an Android app with short, calm exercises for attention, memory and logic. It is designed to keep the mind active, at your own pace.
Free to start. For Android phones. In six languages.
Why it exists
Not a way to kill time
BrainPlay is a short daily routine. A few minutes of attention, memory and logic exercises, and then you put the phone down.
It was made for people over 60, and for the son, daughter or friend who sets it up for them. Everything is calm, large and easy to read.
What you will not find
- No failure screen in Flow. If a game feels hard, its level quietly eases the next time you play it.
- Quick Look has no timer or deadline.
- No pushy notifications. A daily reminder is offered once, and stays off unless you turn it on.
- No account needed. You can play as a guest.
One big button. Nothing to figure out.
Simple mode replaces the home screen with a calmer one: a greeting, one big PLAY button and this week’s goal. The text is large, and this screen has no ads.
-
One big PLAY button
Tap it, and Flow chooses the games.
-
A weekly goal you choose
Pick how many days a week. Each day you play lights a small flame.
-
Large, clear text
Big letters and big touch areas, in light or dark.
Turn it on in Profile. You can switch back at any time.
One tap, three short games
Flow picks three short games for you, never the same one twice in a row, so each session asks for something a little different. There is nothing to choose and nothing to set up.
-
1. It finds a level that suits you
When a game is new, Flow says so and plays a few short rounds to find the right level. There is no right or wrong.
-
2. It adjusts quietly
After that, the level moves up or down on its own. No settings, no announcements.
-
3. It never ends on a failure
There is no failure screen. Every session ends calmly, however it went.
11 games, 150 levels each
Attention, memory, logic, numbers and shapes. Every game starts easy and gets harder slowly. Open any of them from the game list, or let Flow choose for you.
Levels 1 to 30 are free in every game.
-
Attention
Pick the ink colour, not the word.
-
Memory
Flip cards and match the pairs.

Find the pattern in the numbers.

N-Back
Is it the same as a few steps ago?

Tap the numbers in order, as fast as you can.

Mental Rotation
Which shape is the same one, turned around?
A progress report that never scolds
My progress shows the days you played this week, your records, and the games where you reached higher levels. Every sentence in it is true.
A decline is never shown. When there is nothing new to say, it simply says: “We are here whenever you are ready.”
The “Stronger” line is not a guess. It appears only when you passed higher levels in the last 14 days than in the 14 days before, and played that game at least three times in each period.
The report is worked out on the phone itself.
Easy on the eyes
Light or dark, always easy to read
Choose Light or Dark in Settings. Both use the same calm colours with strong contrast.
- Large text and large touch areas.
- Colour-blind mode adds a shape next to each colour in the Attention game.
- Works offline. Results are sent once the phone is back online.
- The app speaks Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese (Brazil).
Plainly said

We do not promise
- BrainPlay is not a medical device or a treatment. It does not treat, cure or prevent any illness.
