Your focus drifts
You start one task, then another thought pulls your attention away.
A free Dual N-Back app for iPhone
RecallBloom is a free iPhone brain training app built around Dual N-Back. Track visual positions and sounds, compare them with earlier rounds, and build a short daily memory-and-focus practice.

Does this sound familiar?
Small moments of forgetfulness or lost focus can happen in a busy day. These familiar situations often require you to hold information in mind while using it.
You start one task, then another thought pulls your attention away.
Something you just saw or heard is suddenly hard to recall.
Keeping multiple pieces of information organized becomes difficult.
One cognitive system involved in moments like these is working memory.
Start with the plain-language definitionWorking memory, explained
Working memory is the limited mental workspace that temporarily holds and updates information so you can use it to think, decide, and act. You use it during conversation, mental math, reading, and multi-step tasks.
Take in the information you need
Keep it active for a short time
Replace old details and check what changed
Choose a response and continue
So how can you practice holding, updating, and comparing information in one focused task?
From function to practice
A working-memory task asks you to do more than memorize. You briefly hold information, update it as new input arrives, and compare the current input with what came before.
Hold a visual position and a sound for a moment
Replace the active information as each new round appears
Decide whether each input matches an earlier round
Dual N-Back
Dual N-Back is a task in which you decide whether the current visual position and sound match the ones presented N rounds earlier. As N increases, you must keep more earlier information active and up to date.
Track where a tile appears on the 3×3 grid
Track the tone played in the same round
Check position and sound separately
Respond to each stream before time runs out

How RecallBloom works
Check today's goal, start a standard 20-round set, then review the result and your ongoing record. The play portion takes about one minute.
See your current level and mission
Focus on position and sound
See the result and your next small goal
Why RecallBloom
RecallBloom is not a collection of unrelated mini-games. It centers on Dual N-Back and connects practice, daily goals, and progress records in one clear flow.
Practice visual and audio N-back without sorting through a catalog of games.
A standard set is 20 rounds, with about one minute of active play.
The home screen and daily mission show exactly what to do next.
Brain Score, graphs, statistics, and a calendar keep your training history visible.
Progress, not a diagnosis
Brain Score is RecallBloom's 0–999 in-app indicator of your recent, stable performance in standard Dual N-Back sets. It updates gradually so one unusually good or bad result does not create a large swing.
Complete all 20 rounds
Reduce the impact of a single result
Reflect performance on a 0–999 scale
See how your record changes over time
Your progress
Review your Brain Score over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or all time. The graph keeps the longer pattern visible without treating a single day as a verdict.

A small daily goal
Today's mission is not designed to push long sessions. It gives you a small, concrete target when you open the app, so starting takes less thought.
The goal is to make one focused set feel like enough for today.
Look back anytime
Use the graph for trends, statistics for the big picture, and the calendar for session history. These records are tools for reflection, not a judgment of everyday ability.

Designed for focused practice
Turn recent, stable in-app performance into a trend you can revisit.
Track visual position and sound, then compare each with N rounds earlier.
See a small goal for the day instead of deciding what to do each time.
Use graphs, statistics, and a calendar to review earlier sessions.
The training screen keeps attention on the information needed for the task.
Brain Score is never presented as IQ, brain age, or a medical result.
Questions & Answers
Clear answers about RecallBloom, Dual N-Back, working memory, pricing, privacy, and supported devices.
RecallBloom is a free iPhone brain training app centered on Dual N-Back. It combines standard 20-round sets, Brain Score, daily missions, graphs, statistics, and a calendar so you can practice with visual positions and sounds and review your in-app progress over time.
RecallBloom is designed for adults looking for a short memory-and-focus exercise, people who want to try Dual N-Back for the first time, and users who prefer to keep a record of their practice. It is not intended for medical diagnosis or treatment.
Dual N-Back is a working-memory task in which you track two streams—typically a visual position and a sound—and decide whether each current stimulus matches the one shown N rounds earlier.
Each round shows a position on a 3×3 grid and plays a sound. You answer Yes or No for position and sound separately, based on whether each one matches the stimulus from N rounds earlier. At N1, you compare with the immediately preceding round.
Working memory is the limited mental workspace used to actively hold and update information for a short time while you think, decide, or complete a task. Conversation, mental math, reading, and multi-step instructions all use working memory.
RecallBloom uses Dual N-Back because it provides one consistent task for holding, updating, and comparing visual and audio information. The app offers this as memory-and-focus practice and does not promise a specific medical or cognitive outcome.
RecallBloom focuses on standard Dual N-Back instead of offering a large catalog of unrelated mini-games. Its key differences are short 20-round sets, a clear daily mission, Brain Score, and progress records organized as graphs, statistics, and a calendar.
Brain Score is RecallBloom's 0–999 in-app indicator of recent, stable performance in standard Dual N-Back sets. It updates gradually and is intended to help you review your own in-app trend over time.
No. Brain Score is not IQ, brain age, a medical test, a diagnosis, or a measure of everyday ability. It is based only on results from standard Dual N-Back sets completed inside RecallBloom.
Yes. RecallBloom is free to download and use on iPhone. You can start the app's Dual N-Back training at no cost.
A standard set contains 20 rounds, and the active play portion takes about one minute. Setup and result review add a little extra time, but the experience is designed for a short break.
No. The daily mission is a prompt that makes it easier to start, not a requirement. You can use RecallBloom at a frequency that fits your schedule and comfort level.
Yes. The standard experience begins at N1, where you compare each position and sound with the immediately preceding round. You answer using clear Yes and No controls, and there is no need to start at a higher N level.
The current RecallBloom experience is designed for adults. If a child uses the app, a parent or guardian should review the task and make sure the pace and difficulty are appropriate.
The official site currently describes the iPhone version. An Android release date has not been announced. Check future official updates for platform availability.
The current design stores training history and Brain Score primarily on the device and does not provide direct cloud synchronization between multiple devices.
Yes for the standard Dual N-Back mode, because the task uses visual position and sound at the same time. Headphones can be helpful in shared or noisy spaces.
The N level tells you how many rounds back to compare. N1 means one round earlier, N2 means two rounds earlier, and so on. A higher N requires you to keep and update more previous position and sound information.
The graph shows Brain Score trends, statistics summarize items such as total sets and N level, and the calendar lets you review sessions by date. Together they provide several ways to revisit your training history.
Research has examined Dual N-Back and working-memory training, but RecallBloom does not guarantee improvements in working memory, focus, IQ, school or work performance, or everyday functioning. The app provides the task and records your in-app performance.
Standard training does not require you to enter your name, health information, or an estimated IQ. Refer to the app's published privacy policy for the final details about data handling.
Evidence-aware language
Our working-memory definition follows the National Institute of Mental Health framing of active maintenance and flexible updating. Peer-reviewed studies have reported task-specific and some near-transfer effects from Dual N-Back training, while broader transfer to fluid intelligence or everyday performance has not been consistently established. RecallBloom therefore describes the task and your in-app performance without promising cognitive, medical, or IQ outcomes.
