SOUND FAMILIAR?

You're not the only one who knows these moments.

Tap the ones that sound like you. Nothing is saved.

WHY IT'S HARD

Reading didn't get harder. Everything else got easier.

A page asks you to hold a thought for a minute without a reward. A feed never asks that. After enough years of one and not the other, the page loses, and it feels like something broke. Nothing broke. One skill got a lot of practice and the other got none.

The games in SharpBrain are 60 to 90 seconds each and they all ask for the same thing a page does: stay on this, ignore that, keep the thread. Then they tell a joke and let you go. Over a month the levels climb. The book is still your job, but you show up with the right muscle.

WHAT CHANGES WITH SHARPBRAIN

Every weak spot gets a game.

01

You lose the thread mid-paragraph.

Number Ninja and Fridge Memory: hold more in your head for longer, one slice at a time.

02

The phone wins the moment you pause.

Scroll Resist: practise the pause where you don't tap.

03

You don't know if it's working.

The Sunday Brain Report: levels per skill, week over week.

YOUR FIRST WEEK

Five minutes a day. One Snack each.

Here's how the first seven days look. The planner adapts to your answers.

  1. Day 1Snack one: three games find your level. Streak 1.
  2. Day 2Different games, same five minutes. The planner is learning you.
  3. Day 3Your weakest skill shows up. It will keep showing up.
  4. Day 4First level-up. The character has something to say about it.
  5. Day 5Scroll Resist gets harder. The bait gets more ridiculous.
  6. Day 6A share card worth posting, if you want to.
  7. Day 7Your first Sunday Brain Report: where you started, honestly.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you
start.

That's up to you and the book. SharpBrain trains the attention and memory skills reading leans on, and shows you the levels moving. It doesn't read for you.

We don't claim that. You get better at the games you practise, and some of that carries into similar tasks. Nobody has shown brain games raise IQ. What we promise is five minutes a day you'll want to do, and numbers you can watch move.

No. SharpBrain is a game. It doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent anything, and it doesn't claim to raise your IQ.

NOT A NEW YOU. JUST SNACK ONE.
