Most brain training doesn't work. This does. Get the complete SMART protocol—proven in randomized controlled trials to increase IQ—completely free.
The complete SMART protocol—mastery-based relational reasoning proven to increase IQ in controlled trials. All 55 stages, free forever.
Spatial, sequential, numerical, associative, and multi-object tracking memory across 23 specialized exercises.
Rapid vocabulary retrieval, semantic access, and word processing speed—the verbal engine behind complex thought.
Processing speed training inspired by research shown to reduce dementia risk and at-fault car accidents.
You've tried
other apps.
They promised results. You got bored. Nothing transferred to real life.
They trained you to get better at their specific games—not at thinking.
Your brain took the easy path: task-specific tricks instead of strengthening the foundational processes underneath.
Like a pianist who only practices one difficult piece at lightning speed—they'll master it, but they won't be able to improvise, compose, or accompany. They trained a feat, not musicality.
We train the foundational processes your brain uses for everything.
Your brain reuses the same core processes—relational reasoning, memory, processing speed—across everything you do. Strengthen those, and the benefits show up everywhere.

The SMART
Protocol
Proven in randomized controlled trials to increase IQ, reading comprehension, and math ability.
- ✓Validated in multiple randomized controlled trials
- ✓Mastery-based: 32 consecutive correct answers before progression (Bloom’s 2 Sigma)
- ✓Abstract stimuli force pure relational reasoning—no content to memorize, no shortcuts
The only platform offering the complete SMART protocol
for free.
No trial period. No credit card. Just unlimited access to research-validated training.
Start SMART trainingWho is this for?
Students
Better reasoning makes learning easier and more rewarding. The earlier you start, the more decades of compounding benefit you gain.
Professionals
Maintain peak fluid intelligence while accumulating expertise. Stronger foundational processes mean faster learning across every new domain.
Older Adults
Cognitive decline starts earlier than most people realize. Our processing speed training is inspired by research shown to reduce dementia risk. It’s never too late.
What the research shows
Randomized controlled trials, not marketing claims.
Reason (SMART Protocol)
- Increased IQ in randomized controlled trials
- Improved reading comprehension and mathematical ability
- Better school performance in real classrooms
Fluent (Reading & Retrieval)
- Improved reading fluency and speed (Breznitz et al., 2013)
- Transfer to working memory updating and task switching (Zhang et al., 2024)
- Measurable neural changes in semantic processing via ERP
Remember (Working Memory)
- Based on adaptive working memory training paradigms
- Shown to improve verbal, spatial, and auditory memory capacity in controlled studies
Process (Speed Training)
- Inspired by research that significantly reduced dementia risk over 10 years
- Based on paradigms linked to lower at-fault car accident rates

Common questions
Why is SMART free?
Foundational reasoning training should be accessible to everyone. The complete SMART protocol—all 55 stages—is free with no time limits. Optional premium unlocks memory, fluency, processing speed, and advanced reasoning modes.
What is included in the Pro tier?
While the foundational SMART protocol is free, Pro unlocks the complete cognitive training practice. This includes 23+ specialized exercises for working memory, visual processing speed training based on dementia and car crash risk reduction research, verbal fluency exercises, and advanced reasoning modes. Pro also includes advanced analytics, unlimited daily usage, manual difficulty control, and priority support. Learn more about the science.
How is this different from other brain training?
Most apps train narrow tasks that don’t transfer—you get better at their games, not at thinking. We train the foundational cognitive processes (relational reasoning, working memory, verbal fluency, processing speed) that your brain reuses across everything. Strengthen those, and the benefits transfer to every task that shares them.
How long until I see results?
The research studies that validated SMART showed results after several weeks of consistent training. SMART demands mastery before progression—32 consecutive correct answers per stage—so consistent practice is key.
Better reasoning makes learning easier and more rewarding.
The Investment Theory of Intelligence shows that people with stronger reasoning find learning easier, engage in it more, and accumulate more knowledge over a lifetime. The earlier you start, the more decades of compounding you gain. But it's never too late.
