How it works
Every game saves your high score and gets harder as you improve. Each one is explained in a sentence or two and sized for a short break or a commute, so there is no tutorial to sit through before you play.
Scores, settings and streaks are stored on your device. There is no account to make and nothing to sync, which also means clearing the app data or uninstalling removes them.
What it costs
Nothing. Mindful Arcade is free, with no subscription and no in-app purchases. It is supported by ads, and it needs a connection to load them.

FAQ
Is Mindful Arcade free?
Yes. All 31 games are unlocked from the start, with no subscription, no paywall and no daily play limit. The app is supported by ads and has no in-app purchases.
Does Mindful Arcade work offline?
The games themselves play offline. The app needs an internet connection to load ads, so it asks for one when you open it.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Scores, streaks and settings are saved on your device and are removed if you uninstall the app.
How is it different from the games on this website?
Several games overlap — Mental Math, Memory Grid, Number Memory, Color Match, Two Cars, Thread Trace, Calm Sort and Find the Way all exist in both. The app adds sudoku, solitaire, block puzzles, 2048 and a set of arcade games, plus daily challenges and a Pomodoro timer.
Privacy
Mindful Arcade keeps your scores, settings and progress on your device. What leaves the phone — advertising, analytics, crash reports and anything optional — is written out in plain language, app by app, in the privacy policy. Questions go to the contact page.
