INSIDE THE APP

Practice, not lectures.

Reading a list of fallacies won’t change how you think. Catching them under time pressure will.

01

Open and go

No account, no setup. Five minutes a day, starting with a warm-up round the moment you land.

02

Judge real exchanges

Group chats, reels, op-eds, campaign speeches. The arguments you actually meet, not textbook syllogisms.

03

See the trick, named

Every answer is unpacked: the original claim, the twisted version, and the label for what happened in between.

04

Aimed at your blind spots

The app tracks which fallacies slip past you and quietly sends more of them your way.
