SynapseGym
Project Description
SynapseGym makes science-based brain training accessible to everyone. With 40+ exercises (20+ free) based on validated cognitive psychology – from Dual N-Back and Stroop tests to working memory training – the app demonstrably improves focus, memory, and cognitive flexibility. Includes gratitude journal for mental well-being. Available in 28 languages. Premium only €3.99/month – because mental fitness shouldn't be a luxury.
Data Visualization
Study with 106 participants over 18 days shows significant improvements (MDPI 2025)
Working Memory Improvement through Adaptive N-Back Training
The study shows that regular training (18 sessions in one month) measurably improves working memory. The improvement is particularly strong with adaptive training (adjusts to performance). SynapseGym uses exactly this adaptive method.

Meta-analysis of 70 studies with 26,000+ participants (PMC 2023)
Scientifically Proven Effects of Gratitude Journaling
A comprehensive analysis of 70 scientific studies consistently shows positive effects on well-being and mental health. The improvements are moderate but statistically significant and lasting with regular practice (15 min/day, 5 days/week).

Improvement of Well-being and Quality of Life
Studies measure "subjective well-being" and "cognitive quality of life" – how satisfied people are with their mental fitness. The improvements are moderate but consistent. Important: These are not healing promises, but measures of quality of life.

Science-First – No Pseudoscience
Every exercise is based on validated cognitive psychology: Dual N-Back for working memory, Stroop tests for cognitive flexibility, attention training, and processing speed exercises. Studies prove: Adaptive N-Back training improves working memory by up to 204.6% (MDPI 2025, Cohen's d=1.85). No gimmicks – only proven methods based on neuroplasticity.
Accessibility is Core – Not Profit
20+ core exercises are completely free. Premium with 40+ exercises, gratitude journal, and personalized plans costs maximum €3.99/month – a fraction of other apps (which often charge €15-30/month). Why? Brain training should be like jogging: free, simple, part of daily life. Students, professionals, and retirees can afford SynapseGym – without compromising quality.
Gratitude Journal – For a Happy Brain
A healthy brain is also a happy brain. The integrated gratitude journal (Premium) uses scientifically proven effects: 15 minutes daily, 5 days per week increases life satisfaction by 6.86%, improves mental health by 5.8%, and reduces anxiety by 7.76% (meta-analysis, 70 studies, 26,000+ participants). Write down 2 things daily – small habit, big impact.
28 Languages & The Vision: Accessible to Everyone
SynapseGym is available in 28 languages – from German and English to Arabic and Hebrew (with right-to-left support) to Chinese. Currently iOS-only, but the vision is clear: Android version in planning, so everyone with a smartphone can train their brain. The goal? A world where brain training is as normal as brushing teeth – preventive mental health care for millions, not just those who can afford it.
