How it works

  1. 1

    Pick something familiar

    Pictures of teacups, gardens, pets and sailboats. No reading or rules to learn first.

  2. 2

    Sit side by side

    Let them tap. Talk about the pictures. A mismatch simply waits for the next tap.

  3. 3

    Stop while it feels good

    One game is a complete activity. “Done for now” is always on the screen.

Beyond the screen

Activity ideas for every stage

Music, everyday tasks, reminiscence and quiet sensory moments, adapted to what feels comfortable now.

101 activity ideas
  • Early stage

    Keep doing what they love, with small adjustments: hobbies, outings, word games and planning together.

  • Middle stage

    Simple, familiar tasks broken into steps: folding, sorting, music, picture games and short walks.

  • Later stage

    Comfort and connection through touch, sound and sight: hand care, favorite songs, photos and being together.

Our approach

A shared activity, not a memory test

Many “brain games” are built around speed, scores and streaks. For someone living with dementia that can feel like an exam. We built the opposite.

Why we design it this way
  • Nothing to fail

    No clock, score, lives or losing. A different picture is a pause, not a mistake.

  • Pictures stay showing

    Recognition over recall. Matching starts face up, so there is nothing to remember.

  • Adult and dignified

    Warm, plain words and real-world pictures. Never cartoons or baby talk.

  • Private by design

    No accounts or ads. Your photos never leave your device.

The free app works offline and can use family photos you choose, kept as copies on your device. Same calm design: four large tiles, no timer, no score.
