Cognitive Compass

Educational wellness

Practice the thinking you actually use.

An eight-week routine for memory, focus, task speed, follow-through, and day-to-day clarity. You keep the answer key. The app records what you practiced.

What a session is for

  • Memory and recall

    Short retrieval, encoding, and an evening check. Spacing is a simple 1, 3, 7, and 30 day ladder.

    Better recall of practiced material is not evidence of a general change in memory.

  • Sustained focus

    A short contract, a few minutes of returning attention, and a distraction log.

    These are workflow practices. They are not a treatment for attention disorders, and they do not prove a general change in attention.

  • Processing speed

    Sort, extract, and decide on fresh examples. Time is secondary to accuracy.

    A faster practiced task is not faster thinking in general. Do not average different clocks into one speed score.

  • Executive function

    Capture, choose up to three priorities, and review what actually happened.

    This supports a workflow. It is not a neuropsychological executive-function test, and it does not label a condition.

  • Overall sharpness

    Optional context check, a gentle reset, and one small cognitive loop. Nothing here is a diagnosis.

    Energy, sleep, and a short practice stay separate. The app will not combine them into a single score.

What this app will not tell you

  • It does not diagnose a medical condition.
  • It does not rank intelligence or compare you with other people.
  • It does not treat a score on a repeated exercise as proof of a broader change in thinking.
  • Gains on material you practiced are not the same thing as a change in everyday life. Those are tracked separately, and they stay observational.

Private by default

  • You type your own notes. The app does not read your calendar, mail, or meeting transcripts.
  • Answer keys and journal entries are encrypted in the database.
  • Optional notes about sleep or energy are off unless you turn them on.
  • You can export your entries or erase the account.
