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.

The Simple home screen: a greeting, one big PLAY button and this week’s goal, with a small flame for each day played.

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.

  1. One big PLAY button

    Tap it, and Flow chooses the games.

  2. A weekly goal you choose

    Pick how many days a week. Each day you play lights a small flame.

  3. 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. 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. 2. It adjusts quietly

    After that, the level moves up or down on its own. No settings, no announcements.

  3. 3. It never ends on a failure

    There is no failure screen. Every session ends calmly, however it went.

Flow’s notice before a new game: a few short rounds will find a suitable level, and there is no right or wrong.
Flow’s notice before a new game

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.

The game list: each game has a small picture and its name.
  • Attention

    Pick the ink colour, not the word.

  • Memory

    Flip cards and match the pairs.

  • Logic

    Find the pattern in the numbers.

  • N-Back

    Is it the same as a few steps ago?

  • Schulte Grid

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

  • Quick Math

    Solve sums before time runs out.

  • Pattern Recall

    Watch the cells light up, then repeat the order.

  • Slide Puzzle

    Slide the tiles into order in as few moves as you can.

  • Go / No-Go

    Tap the right shapes, hold back on the others.

  • Quick Look

    Spot where the small star appeared.

  • 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.

Plainly said

What we promise, and what we don’t

We do not promise
