We don't promise IQ points. We promise skills you can prove.

How it works

Short daily sessions. A starting test on day 1, called the Mind Trial, and a fair retest on day 30 with brand-new items.

A glowing room with a rubber duck, a melting clock, a pineapple in sunglasses, a flaming guitar, pancakes and a giant key placed at numbered spots

1. Build a memory palace

Place silly, vivid pictures along a path through a room you know. Walk the path, and the list comes back in order.

A 3 by 3 grid puzzle of circles, triangles and squares with one cell missing and four answer choices

2. Learn the puzzle rules

Grid puzzles, number series, odd-one-out. Most use a few simple rules. Learn them and stop freezing up.

3. Rank up from E to S

Earn XP every day. Weekly boss challenges: 10 items, then 15, then 20. Missing a day doesn't wipe your progress.

Six ranks. One mind, leveled up.

Every rank is earned in the app's own fair tests, never bought.

Heroes are made, not born.

Our founder can remember 75 digits in a row, using a memory palace with 75 spots. That wasn't a gift. It was learned, with the same method this app teaches.

Most people can hold about 7 digits. The trick isn't a special brain. It's a skill, and skills can be trained.

What we promise, and what we don't

Brain apps have overpromised for years. We'd rather be straight with you.

What Smart trains

  • The memory palace, the method memory champions use
  • The rules behind common IQ-style puzzles
  • A clear goal: 20 items, in order, in 30 days
  • Fair tests: your retest uses brand-new items

What it doesn't

  • We don't promise your IQ will go up
  • Retaking any test raises scores a little by itself, so we keep ours fair
  • Vocabulary and general knowledge come from reading and school, not from us
  • It isn't medical help. For memory problems from illness, see a doctor
