Nowadays, I’ve noticed that every other post is about “I studied for *N* hours” along with some flashy analytical screenshot. And what happens next? Everyone rushes to comment, *“Which ap-p?”* — and boom, their goal is accomplished. You just fell for their so-called “vibe-coded” multi-billion-dollar idea.

Why is this bad for serious folks who are actually trying to study? Because you’ll get trapped in this illusion of *tracking hours* instead of actually studying.

If you know me, I’m the same person who created a **free, tightly-coupled study challenge** for this sub. My main goal was to help serious people build consistency. Almost **800 people registered**, and only **20 completed it** by day 30. What does this tell you? People are happy to consume every new shiny thing, but they don’t have the attention span to stick to the simple, raw plan they made for themselves in the first place.

And let’s be real — these founders don’t care whether you study or not. All they want is for you to register on their platforms so they can sell you more FOMO. I’ve looked into many of these apps (not naming them here), and I’ve even checked the profiles of some of the people posting their “progress.” Guess what? Most of them are the founders themselves, fooling you openly.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t use these apps. If they help you, fine. But don’t mistake them for *the process* of studying. You won’t build consistency, you won’t hit your goals, if you keep switching tools every week.

Honestly, I don’t know what the moderators are doing about this. I literally have a list of users who are openly fooling everyone with fake analytics, acting like the next Steve Jobs (my foot), while selling you vibe-coded nonsense and thinking they’ve captured “potential users.” Moderators please look into this matter and i request everyone to slow down a lil and stick the tool which you are already using or use some stopwatch or something to track down your hours but dont fall for this trap. You mental wellbeing will get screwed as there will be yet another more cool looking tool in this subreddit. Remember scholars never use these funky tools. They dont waste their energy in tracking down their hours , they just jump in. Even i use these kind of apps , but honestly they have reduced my produtivity only. Thats it, This is your precious time, dont be casual. Save your Energy!!

[Attention] This sub is getting polluted with vibe coding apps and you are getting scammed.
