What this site is
Three short brain puzzles, free, in your browser. No account, no app, no streak-shaming emails. New puzzles every morning.
Why this exists
I'm a developer who has always enjoyed a short brain puzzle in the morning — word games, logic riddles, that sort of thing. At some point I got frustrated enough with the apps that exist to build my own instead.
The puzzle apps I used felt like they were trying to become something bigger than puzzles. Download the app, make an account, watch an ad before your first move, buy the premium tier to remove the timer. I wanted something that just loads and lets you play.
So DailyBrain is that. Three games right now, a couple more in development. Everything runs in the browser. Your scores are saved locally on your device. When you are done, you are done — no notification asking you to come back tomorrow.
What's here
Ads, plainly stated
The site runs display ads through Google AdSense. That is what pays for the hosting and the time it takes to write puzzles. You will see banner ads on the page.
There are no pop-ups, no autoplay video ads, no ads between puzzles, and no content locked behind a paywall. The puzzles are always free. If the ads bother you, an ad blocker is your call — I just wanted to be upfront about how this works.
Your data
Scores and streaks stay in your browser's localStorage. Nothing gets sent to a server. We do not sell or share personal data.
Your time
Every game is built to take under five minutes. There are no artificial timers, no extra lives to buy, and no dark patterns designed to keep you playing longer than you want to.
Any device
Everything works on a phone with a slow connection. No large downloads, no frameworks that need a minute to load, no layout that breaks on small screens.
