Memory is not a single skill
The number you hold while dialing, the face you match to a name, the route you retrace to a parked car — these run on different processes, and they don’t weaken or tire at the same rate. Averaging them into one score hides exactly the information you’d want.
This trainer starts differently: a short starting map finds where each of five kinds of memory currently stands, and every daily session is built around whatever is running lower. It will also suggest stopping before it lets you grind.
A profile you can trust
What the starting map measures Five memory domains · 25 short probes
Twenty-five short probes, five per kind of memory. Number span holds digits in mind — and from level eight, returns them in reverse, a different demand on working memory. Spatial recall lights several cells at once. Word recognition hides targets among related words from the same categories, so recognizing rather than guessing is the only way through. Pair binding links symbols the way you link a name to a face. Sequence replays an order you reproduce exactly.
Difficulty climbs quickly until it finds you — a few misses are expected, and they are how the map locates your level.
How a session adapts More practice where it is most useful
Before each session the trainer shows its plan — Verbal ×4 · Sequence ×3 · the rest ×1–2. Lower areas get more trials; nothing to configure. After a miss you see the correct answer: the actual pattern, the exact order, the pair you dropped. A bare ✕ teaches nothing.
If answers become less consistent, the session offers a pause — judged only against your own earlier trials on the same task, never across different ones.
Verbal memory, mapped per language 12 languages Separate word banks and separate profiles
The verbal task treats languages the way memory research does: separately. Word banks were built for each language from scratch, down to the categories that make the lures confusable. Your verbal map belongs to the language it was built in, and scores are never compared across languages. Switch to a language you haven’t mapped yet, and the trainer says so plainly and offers a one-minute verbal map — instead of showing a false low score.
What the profile is — and is not A training guide, not a diagnostic score
The radar shows an adaptive training level: personal, relative to each task, useful for steering practice. It is not a diagnostic test — no population norms, no percentile, no brain age. What reliably improves with practice is performance on the trained tasks, and that is all it reports.
Your data stays with you Local storage · export or erase anytime
No account, nothing uploaded. The profile lives in your browser’s local storage — export it as a file or erase it entirely, each one click on the home screen.
Five short minutes a day do more than an occasional long session — and the trainer will keep reminding you of that by ending on time.
