A little care for your mind.

A brain training app with meditation built in. Three minutes of brain games for focus and memory, then guided breathing, binaural beats and a short meditation to bring you back down — both halves of the day in one app.

A little focus. A little calm.

Cognitia is a brain games and breathing app in one. A 3-minute brain training session builds focus, memory and thinking speed; guided breathing, binaural beats and meditations handle the other half of the day. Choose what your mind needs today.

Train your mind

Brain training games for memory, attention and logical thinking. Each one names the cognitive skill it trains — divided attention, reaction time, precision — and gets harder as you improve, so a three-minute session stays useful months in.

Find your calm

Guided breathing exercises, sleep meditations and binaural soundscapes for a quieter moment. Set a timer, follow the shape on screen, and stop when you are ready — no streak to protect, no session you have to finish.

Most apps do one half.

Brain-game apps sharpen you up and stop there. Calm and sleep apps wind you down but train nothing. You end up with two apps, two subscriptions and two habits to keep. Cognitia is built around the fact that you need both, on the same day, a few hours apart.

A few things you might wonder.

What can I try for free?
A selection of brain games, three breathing exercises, seven meditations, three binaural soundscapes and basic insights. The free tier is permanent, not a trial.
How much time do I need?
About three minutes for the daily session. Breathing exercises start at one minute, and you set the timer yourself.
What are the cognitive exercises?
Short, science-based games for concentration, memory and thinking speed. Each one names the skill it trains — divided attention, reaction time, precision — and adapts its difficulty to your results.
What are binaural beats and how do I use them?
Audio tracks that play slightly different frequencies in each ear, grouped by purpose — focus, relaxation, sleep. Use headphones and set a timer so nothing plays all night. Nature sounds work without headphones.
What is included in Premium?
Every brain game, the full sound and meditation library, complete progress analytics and new content as it is added. Available monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
How do I cancel?
In your App Store or Google Play account settings, under Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next renewal; you keep Premium until the paid period runs out.
Can I get brain games and breathing exercises in one app?
That is what Cognitia is for. Brain-game apps rarely include breathing or meditation, and calm apps rarely train anything cognitive, so people usually run two subscriptions. Cognitia keeps a 3-minute brain training session and the breathing, meditation and soundscape library behind one daily screen.
Which binaural beats are best for focus?
In Cognitia the sound library is grouped by what you want from it rather than by frequency, so you pick Focus, Unwind or Sleep instead of guessing at Hz. Use headphones — binaural beats need a different frequency in each ear to work at all — and set the timer so a focus track ends with your work block.
Is Cognitia a brain training app or a meditation app?
Both, and that is the point. Most people end up needing one in the morning and the other at night, and keeping them in two apps means two subscriptions and two habits. Cognitia puts the cognitive games and the breathing, meditation and soundscape library behind one daily screen.
Does brain training actually work?
The honest answer is that research shows reliable improvement on the trained tasks themselves, and a much weaker, still-debated transfer to everyday thinking. Treat Cognitia as structured practice and a daily habit, not as a treatment. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
Can I use Cognitia for sleep?
Yes. The Zen Zone has sleep-oriented soundscapes, binaural tracks and longer meditations, plus breathing patterns with a long exhale that suit the hour before bed. Set the timer so nothing plays through the night.
Does Cognitia work offline?
Brain games run without a connection once the app is installed. Audio content streams, so download the sounds and meditations you want while you are on Wi-Fi if you plan to use them on a flight or in a dead zone.
Which devices does Cognitia support?
iPhone and iPad through the App Store, and Android phones and tablets through Google Play. Your progress is tied to your account, so you can move between devices.
