Braintide: Brain Training
82 games. No account. Offline.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
82 short games across ten skills, one daily workout that targets what you have neglected, and a fixed checkpoint — the one score you can honestly compare with last time.
82 short games across ten mental skills, one daily workout, and a score that means something.
TRAINS TEN SKILLS
Memory, attention, processing speed, problem solving, language, flexibility, numeracy, spatial reasoning, coordination and listening. Every one of them has at least one game that is free forever, so you can train your whole brain without paying anything.
EIGHT WAYS TO ANSWER
Most brain trainers are a tap and a swipe. Braintide asks you to tap, flick, drag, draw, turn a dial, spell a word from letter tiles, type a number — and, in five games, to make a sound. Nothing else in the category listens.
Some games have no options at all. Set It Straight and Wind Back are scored on how many degrees off you were; On the Mark on how many milliseconds. There is nothing to guess between and nothing to eliminate.
A DAILY WORKOUT THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU HAVE NEGLECTED
Three games a day, chosen by what you have left longest. The difficulty follows you: every skill has its own level, and the engine holds you near the edge of what you can do rather than where you started.
A STREAK THAT FORGIVES ONE MISSED DAY
Losing a sixty-day run to one bad night is where people stop opening a training app. Braintide forgives one missed day and ends the run on two — and it tells you that rule on the home screen, because a forgiving streak is only honest if you know what you are being held to.
THE CHECKPOINT — THE ONE NUMBER YOU CAN COMPARE
Here is the problem every brain trainer has and none of them mentions: an adaptive engine moves the difficulty to keep you at about 78% success. That is right for training and useless for measuring. Your score hovers while the difficulty climbs underneath it.
So Braintide has a checkpoint: the same ten short games, at the same fixed difficulty, every couple of weeks, never fed back into your levels. It is the only figure in the app that can honestly be compared with last time, and it says so.
WHAT BRAINTIDE WILL NOT DO
No percentile. No brain age. No ranking against other players. Braintide has no data about other people and will not invent any — and the app says exactly that, on the screen where every other app would show you a number.
YOURS, AND ACTUALLY YOURS
• Works completely offline. No account, ever.
• No ads, on any plan.
• Export every round you have played to a JSON file, in one tap, written on your device and handed straight to your share sheet.
• Nothing is sold on.
THE FIVE GAMES THAT LISTEN
Say When, Hold the Note, Fade Out, Clap Back and Clap the Count use the microphone. What they read is how loud the room is — one number, sixty times a second. Nothing is recorded, kept, or recognised, there is no speech recognition anywhere in the app, and no audio leaves your phone. The daily workout leaves them out unless you ask for them.
BUILT TO BE READ
Twelve languages, translated all the way down — every game's name and rules, the achievement names, even the notification. A colour-safe palette for red-green and blue-yellow colour vision, checked by simulation rather than by eye. Reduce Motion honoured everywhere. Zen mode eases the clocks right off.
Braintide trains focus and memory for fun. It is not a medical device and makes no claim to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fairer, smoother games, and a sturdier Pro screen.
• Drag games now take a drop in any direction, including downwards.
• Path Trace no longer gives away the next step.
• Missing Letter and Spell Check no longer offer a "wrong" answer that is really a real word.
• Quick-fire games now show a short blank between items, so two identical items in a row are easy to tell apart.
• Fairer scoring and timing across many games, including Paper Fold, Block Count, Mental Rotation, Word Rush and Go / No-Go.
• Games that use the microphone start and stop more reliably.
• A finished workout now offers "Train again" for free play and "Today's results" to look back.
Also in this release:
• If you open Braintide without a connection, the Pro screen now recovers on its own and offers a retry.
• Clearer messages when the store can't be reached, or when purchases aren't allowed on your device.
• The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy now open inside the app.
