Neuri - Brain Training App to Beat Doomscrolling & Build Focus

by•
Neuri takes the addictive UX of social feeds and weaponizes it — to train cognition instead of destroy it. Inside a familiar scrollable feed: N-Back tasks for working memory, Stroop conflicts for inhibitory control, Schulte tables for sustained attention, spaced recall in narrative episodes. Built around the 19+ cognitive functions, anchored in peer-reviewed PubMed research. iOS + Android, available right now. Built for knowledge workers who know doomscrolling is hurting their performance.

Hey PH 👋 I'm Alexander, founder of Neuri.

Short version: We built a cognitive training app that uses the exact same addictive UX as TikTok and Instagram — the infinite scroll, the short bursts, the dopamine loops — but instead of passive doomscrolling, it feeds you actual cognitive exercises. Think memory challenges, focus drills, and mental puzzles, all disguised as a feed.

The why: A few years ago, I noticed my own brain fog getting worse. Between constant context-switching, notifications, and that low-attention scrolling habit (I’ll admit, I couldn't completely quit short videos myself), my focus was tanking.

Existing brain-training apps didn't match how I actually live or work — they felt too clinical, too much like forced homework, and detached from real cognitive load. So, we decided to build an antidote.

A few honest notes: — This isn't a magic cure for screen addiction. If scrolling is truly destroying your life, the best step is to quit scrolling entirely. — We are proudly self-funded. No VC clock ticking in the background. — We didn't just guess: we ran a 500-participant performance study before this launch to make sure it actually works. — There’s a free trial, and we don't force you to put in a credit card to try it.

I'll be hanging out here in the comments all day and I'm happy to answer anything. I’m especially curious: for those who have tried brain-training apps in the past and bounced — what made you give up?

Neuri is live on the App Store and Google Play right now. Would love to hear your thoughts!
