About Pensum — Brain Training
Pensum is a training game for adults. Five tasks a day, about ten minutes, mixed from six disciplines: math, logic, memory, patterns, language and speed. The tasks get harder as you do — each game on its own, across ten levels. THE GAMES Math Mental arithmetic — four operations, two to three digits Quick maths — is the sum right? One after another, against the clock Target number — combine tiles to hit a target Logic Number series — spot and continue sequences Matrix build — assemble the missing cell of a 3×3 pattern yourself Hatch picture — a mini nonogram that resolves into an image Memory Remember numbers — sequences of four to twelve digits, later also backwards Remember cells — tap back a sequence of lit cells Picture pairs — memory with sixteen pictures of its own Patterns Patterns & shapes — the figure that breaks the set Rotate — only rotated, or mirrored? Quick count — how many dots, at a glance Language Word flash — do the two words belong together? Word jumble — the word behind the scrambled letters Remember words — a list, then pick out the right ones Speed Reaction — tap only when the field is filled Colour & Word — what colour is the word, not what it says Number hunt — tap the numbers in order, against the clock HOW IT WORKS A short placement test to begin, then one round a day, with a weekly theme. Want more? Sprint (five fast games, about three minutes), Puzzling (four long puzzles with no clock in sight) or the Check (one minute — how are you doing today?). Practice lists every game on its own. The index shows where you stand. It starts at 100 and shows how hard the tasks are that you solve reliably — and which discipline is pulling you up right now. Wrong answers are explained, with the method rather than a consolation prize. One reminder a day, at the time you set. A missed day does not break the streak — two do. No leaderboards, no confetti: ranks from Bronze to Master compare you only with yourself. YOUR DATA Pensum has no server, no account and no analytics. Results, levels and settings stay on the device. There are no ads, no trackers and no crash reporting. The app is entirely free. No feature sits behind a wall. If you like it you can leave a coffee tip — it unlocks nothing. NOTE Pensum is a training game, not a medical device. It makes no diagnosis and does not replace medical assessment. The index is a game value, not a finding.
What’s new
Version 1.5 · Updated October 16, 2026
Eleven task types become eighteen games in six disciplines. New: Quick maths, Remember cells, Picture pairs, Rotate, Quick count, Word flash, Word jumble, Remember words, Reaction, Colour & Word and Number hunt. Speed games run as series; every tap gets an instant. Sprint, Puzzling and the daily Check as rounds of their own. Every game has its own picture; the menus are redesigned. After the round, "Today" says in words what you solved, missed or skipped. The index now measures how hard the tasks are that you solve — with an explanation. Ranks from Bronze to Master, and personal bests. iPad: better use of the screen, portrait and landscape. iPhone Duo: unfolded like a notebook, the game splits at the hinge; half folded, the number pad becomes a calculator. Home screen quick actions. Bug fixes, including a round that stayed open after a crash.
