BYOPuzzles — Mindful Creation
Kaleidoscope Brain Training
$29.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Create and solve your own kaleidoscope puzzles. Strengthens concentration, memory, and creative thinking — built on 40 years of clinical neuroscience.
A meditative, creative brain training app that lets you build and solve your own kaleidoscope puzzles. Strengthens concentration, working memory, and the kind of focused creative thinking that's increasingly rare in a world full of distraction.
Designed by Dr. Donalee Markus, a Northwestern-trained neuroscientist with 40 years of clinical practice.
WHAT IT TRAINS
• Sustained concentration and focused attention
• Working memory across complex visual patterns
• Creative thinking and aesthetic decision-making
• The cognitive pleasure of deliberate, slow practice
• A meditative quality of mind that translates beyond the app
WHO IT'S FOR
• Adults wanting a calm, restorative form of brain training
• People seeking an alternative to fast-paced puzzle apps
• Concussion patients sensitive to overstimulation
• Older adults building a daily cognitive habit
• Creative thinkers who want exercise that feels like art
THE SCIENCE
BYOPuzzles is built on the same three-pillar model — Attention, Intention, Rehearsal — that anchors all of Dr. Markus's work. The kaleidoscope format provides natural hierarchical difficulty: you set the complexity by your own creative choices, and the brain trains across exactly the variables you find engaging.
