Find and tap numbers or letters in order, as fast as you can, while keeping your eyes on the center of the grid. That’s the Schulte Table — a well-established technique for training peripheral vision, focus, and reading speed.

How it works
The goal is simple: find and tap numbers (or letters) in their correct order as fast as possible. The key is to keep your eyes fixed on the center of the grid and use your peripheral vision to locate the target cells — a technique proven to improve reading speed.
Grid sizes and modes
- Numbers mode: Tap 1 through N in ascending order.
- Letters mode: Tap A through Z in alphabetical order.
- Grid sizes: 3×3, 4×4, and 5×5 — start easy and increase the challenge.
Challenge modes
- Shuffle: Cells reshuffle after every correct tap. No memorizing the layout — rely on peripheral vision.
- Inverse: Count down instead of up. Find N, then N-1, all the way to 1.
- Rotated cells: Cell values appear at random angles, making them harder to read at a glance.
- Spinning cells: Cells continuously rotate 360° while you play — the ultimate focus test under pressure.
- Center dot and crosshair: A red dot or crosshair at the grid center trains your gaze to stay fixed.
Features
- Target hint: Toggle “Find X” above the grid to show the next target — useful for beginners.
- Haptic and audio feedback: Feel a tap on correct, a distinct buzz on mistakes. Toggle either independently in Settings.
- Results breakdown: After each session, see your total time, correct taps, errors, and a tap-by-tap reaction timeline.
- Session history: Browse past sessions with grid type, duration, date, and whether you achieved a perfect run.
- Streak calendar: Visualize your training consistency with a monthly calendar showing current streak, longest streak, and sessions per day.
- Dark mode and light mode: Choose Light, Dark, or follow your system setting.
