Follows your curriculum
Questions are organised by subject and topic for your school year, and new questions arrive by themselves, with no app update needed.

How it works
-
Choose your school year
Pick your country, curriculum and year, named the way your school names it: Grade, Standard, Form, Basic, Primary and JSS, P and S.
-
Study topic by topic
Subjects and topics follow the order your teacher teaches them. Short quizzes fit into a break, a bus ride or the evening before a test.
-
Learn from every mistake
Every answer is explained. Get one wrong and BrainFable explains the idea, then checks you have really understood it with a different question.
Built to help learners understand, not just memorise
Every answer explained
Every question has an explanation, free for everyone. Didn't get it? Tap "Explain differently" for another way of seeing it, and follow the worked solution step by step.
Teach Me
After a wrong answer, BrainFable explains the idea and then asks a different question on it, so understanding is checked, not assumed.
Diagrams that teach
Maths comes with graphs, number lines and shapes; science and geography with labelled drawings you can tap.
Practice that adapts
Questions aim at the level where each learner improves fastest. Flashcards for quick revision, and mixed "boss battles" that feel like a real exam paper.
Works without data
After a one-time download of your school year, a few megabytes at most, BrainFable works completely offline. Study anywhere, with or without signal.

Built for children, run by parents
BrainFable is made for school learners, many of them children, so it is built to be safe first.
- No ads, ever. We do not sell personal information or use it to profile children.
- No account needed to start. Accounts belong to parents, never to children.
- No chat and no search. Learners cannot message anyone or look anyone up. In groups they can only send a few fixed, friendly reactions.
- A parent area behind a PIN, with fingerprint or face unlock if you choose. Purchases and social features sit behind it.
- Social features are optional and switched on by a parent. Groups are joined only with a code shared in person.
- The parent report shows mastery by subject, where to focus next and how ready a learner is for exams.
Free to start. Premium when you want everything.

Questions parents ask
Is BrainFable really free?
Yes. The free plan covers the first half of every subject in your school year, with 50 questions a day for each learner and every explanation. Premium opens every topic and removes the daily limit.
Does it need the internet?
Only once, to download your school year (a few megabytes at most). After that, BrainFable works completely offline. It connects now and then to fetch new questions and, with an account, to sync progress.
Which countries and curricula are covered?
South Africa (CAPS and IEB), Namibia (NSSC), Botswana (BGCSE), Zimbabwe (ZIMSEC), Zambia (ECZ), Kenya (CBC and KCSE), Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria and Ghana (WASSCE). See the school years in each.
Is it safe for my child?
BrainFable has no ads, no chat and no way to search for other people. Social features are off until a parent turns them on, and purchases need the parent PIN. Read the privacy policy for exactly what is collected and why.
Do I need to create an account?
No. A learner can start straight away, and nothing about them leaves the device. A parent account adds a small synced summary for the parent and, with Premium, a full backup of the household's progress, so a new phone picks up where the old one stopped.
Is BrainFable linked to the department of education?
No. BrainFable is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any department of education or examination body.
How do I delete an account?
From the app's parent area, or by following the steps on the account deletion page.
