Six tests. One number each. Free, on iOS.

What it measures

Visual memory
How many positions you can hold at once, from a single flash.
Overdrive
The same task against the clock — ten levels, ranked by how fast you clear them.
Reaction time
Simple reaction speed. Median of five measurements, false starts caught.
Precision
How close your recall lands when there is no grid to snap to. Error is a distance.
Filter
Whether you can stop a hand that has already started moving.
Scan
Memory on top of deciding what is relevant in the first place.

Daily Challenge

One board a day, identical for every player. The first attempt is the one that counts; the rest are practice. The grid you share afterwards shows the path you took, not just the total.

How results are checked

Every run that enters a leaderboard is replayed on the server using the same code your phone ran. A result that cannot be reproduced does not get in. Themes change colour and never difficulty — a test enforces it.

Gridbench measures performance on visual and motor tasks. It is not a medical device and not a diagnostic tool. It does not train your brain, improve your memory, or tell you anything about your health.
