This tool gives general information based on the research summarised in Activity Trackers: What the Trials Say They Do. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose, and does not replace advice from your clinician.

Free vs Plus




Free (this page)
  • full if-then rule with floor and trigger
  • printable card
  • text export and print
  • all citations and cautions


Plus (optional, one-time)
  • calendar (.ics) review reminders
  • unlimited share images
  • share card without the 'Made with CortexLit' footer


Checkout isn't live yet, so Plus is unlocked here with a local code. The check runs in your browser and can be bypassed; it is a placeholder for a real payment link.






Free tier: 1 share image per result.






Commercial disclosure: optional paid Plus tier; all evidence, cautions and the main result are free. No affiliate links, no sponsors.







What this is based on


Every output names at least one verified PubMed source. Identifiers were verified on 2026-10-11 in an earlier batch and carried over into this build; they were not re-queried here, and no retraction database was checked. Verification was at abstract level.

Limits: This builds a rule; it does not verify your tracker data or predict whether you will follow it. The if-then evidence comes from lab studies of prospective memory in young adults.
