Five puzzles. About six minutes. Your next personal best.

Frequently asked questions

What is Cognilo?

Cognilo is a daily puzzle game for iPhone and iPad. Each day the Daily 5 serves five short puzzles, about six minutes in total, across memory, focus, logic, numbers, spatial and language. Difficulty adapts to how you actually play, and every result is explained in plain language.

Is Cognilo free?

Yes. The free app is complete: the full Daily 5 every day, all six categories, all three play modes, ratings, the Benchmark, the Neural Core, Rhythm and achievements. Cognilo Pro is an optional subscription that adds Performance Lab tests, weekly and monthly reports and up to 12 months of rating history.

Why five puzzles when there are six categories?

Each Daily 5 plays five of the six categories. The planner tracks which categories you have played recently, and any category that has not come up in six days takes a slot, so all six come round every week.

Do I need an account, and does it work offline?

No account is needed. Every puzzle, rating and record works offline and is stored on your device. A connection is only needed for App Store purchases and restores, and for optional Game Center leaderboards.

Does Cognilo measure intelligence?

No. Ratings describe how you performed on Cognilo's own puzzles at a given difficulty. They move with practice and familiarity, and they are not a measure of intelligence, health or everyday cognitive ability. Cognilo makes no medical claims.

Can I play without a timer?

Yes. Precision mode is untimed and is the default. Sprint adds a clock when you want one, and Sprint scores are kept out of your Training Rating so faster play never outranks careful play.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later. Cognilo supports Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion and VoiceOver, and every sound cue is also shown visually.
