MindFrame
Start A Session

Choose the right session for the time and thinking edge you want today.

Every MindFrame mode trains a different part of metacognition. Pick the session that fits your current goal, see the estimated time before you start, and launch straight into setup.

Compose today's session

Start from your constraint, not the mode list.

How much time do you have?
What thinking job matters now?

One recommended next session

Uncertainty Engine

Time fit
Uncertainty Engine has a ~5 min standard loop.
Goal fit
Uncertainty Engine turns certainty into a score you can compare with accuracy.
Evidence fit
Personal evidence unavailable: Personal evidence is still being checked. This choice uses only your time and goal.

Expected signal

Your stated confidence lands closer to the evidence grade on the next attempt.

One choice now; the full library remains below.

Session Library

Start from a mode, not a vague promise

These cards are built to answer the real pre-session questions: what this mode trains, how long it will take, and whether it fits the kind of thinking work you want right now.
