If you need to beat brain fog and are finding some clean energy sources, these neurogums are good, I have bought them multiple times and they really work nice. 40 mg caffeine per gum.
Btw, i know many such products which actually work, if anybody is curious just ask.
Curious what ai study tools have moved the needle for people in this sub, beyond surface level ""use chatgpt for summaries"" takes.
I'm two months into trying to build a study workflow that uses ai for the parts where it helps, summarizing, generating practice questions, transcribing lectures, while keeping the parts where I do better manually, active recall, deep reading, working through proofs.
The tools I've tried so far either feel like marketing wrappers around chatgpt or solve a tiny piece of the workflow but force me to bounce between five apps. Looking for the one ai study tool that's been worth keeping in your stack longer than a month, ideally something you'd recommend to a friend without caveats. Bonus points if it handles both note taking and review.
hey, I was just wondering how on earth I’ve got 5 days to memorise both of these my maps but also another two of the same length so I’ve got four collections of mindmaps (topics 1 to 4) how on earth memorise them in 5 days? it is for history any tips? And is it possible?
On the bus to class, or in line for coffee, I'd unlock my phone, scroll, lose 90 seconds, lock it, repeat. Neither window is long enough for a real study session, but together they add up to maybe 30 to 45 minutes a day.
I put flashcards on my home screen as a widget so I literally see a card every time I pull out my phone.
I've been using Glimpse for this. The widget puts a flashcard in front of me at the moment I'd otherwise tap into social media, and I usually choose the card. Because I can drop my class notes or a PDF to generate a deck, I always have something ready to practice when the dead time shows up.
Check out the Glimpse app!

This is a side project that I did for fun and it doesn't cost me anything to run, so I thought I'll just let you guys try it out and let me know if you guys have any suggestions
The biggest problem of the timer applications is that they do not increase personal motivation and create a temporary enthusiasm, to prevent this, I made an application where you can form a clan with your friends and follow your situation and the application mascot constantly reacts. I think it will work for those concerned. https://apps.apple.com/app/modoo-focus-pomodoro-timer/id6758787725
feel like i'm the only one confused during class while everyone else is nodding along.
i just write everything down hoping it'll make sense when i review later. half the time the professor is going too fast or using terms i don't know yet.
is everyone actually understanding in real time or are we all just pretending and learning it at home?
genuinely want to know if i'm behind or if this is normal.
how do you handle lectures?
I built Ultra Learn but, I think I need more crazey experience . honestly i just want to build design and think like you do. so im doing a speedrun joining 8 startups at once to see how things actually get made.
i can redesign your entire brand i can ship functional code i can make people care about your product and maybe Ideate with you.
I will belive in your vision and question it just so that we both get something out.. also yeah im great at building sass stuff so yeah, product designing, UI UX. AI model architecture decision https://ultralearn.life https://novify.life
dm me if you're building something real and let me join in .Paying me and not paying me is upto you. linkedin.com/in/karthikyaddanapudi/
Hi everyone 👋
While working with PDFs for reports and research documents, I realized many people upload sensitive files to random online PDF websites without really knowing where their data goes.
That’s one of the reasons I built VyMerge — a simple app to merge PDFs and images directly on your phone, without uploading anything to the internet.
I especially made it for students, researchers, teachers, and professionals handling important documents daily.
✅ Free
✅ No login
✅ 100% private
✅ Works offline
Would genuinely appreciate your feedback and suggestions 🙏

Do you actually use your screenshots when studying?
I keep saving screenshots… but I literally never go back to them 😭
Like I’ll screenshot notes, formulas, ideas — but when I need them, I can’t find anything or it’s just a mess.
And when I actually need something, I just end up scrolling forever.
Does anyone else do this? Or am I just bad at organizing?
I just launched studybuddy.vc and I need students to actually use it and tell me what’s good, what sucks, and what’s missing. In exchange you get full premium access for free.
Here’s what you get:
You upload any study material (digital notes, textbook chapters, slides, whatever you have for any class, any major, any subject, any language) and it builds practice questions and flashcards from your own content in under a minute. Not generic questions from the internet. Questions from what YOUR professor taught, and they range in difficulty.
The adaptive mode figures out which topics you keep getting wrong and keeps bringing those back. The better you get, the harder the questions. The worse you do on a specific topic, the more it shows up until you actually get it. It mixes topics so you’re not just stuck on one thing, and when you pick a wrong answer it doesn’t just say “wrong.” It shows you exactly what you confused and why the correct answer is correct.
The wrong answers aren’t random by the way. Each one is built from the mistakes a real student would actually make on that concept. So you wouldnt be able to just guess or eliminate the obvious ones. They all look right if you kind of understand the topic, which is exactly the point.
Say you study Monday and you’re solid on 4 out of 5 topics. You close the app, life happens, you come back Thursday. The app already knows that those 4 strong topics are still fresh in your head, so it doesn’t waste your time on those. But that 1 topic you were shaky on? It knows it has been sitting in your brain for 3 days being forgotten. So the first thing it does when you open the app is hit you with that one before you forget about it. You don’t have to remember what you were bad at. It remembers for you. It will also keep reinforcing the topics you’re strong on every once in a while, just to make sure you do still remember.
It also tracks if you’re actually ready for your exam or not based on how you’ve been performing across all topics. You wont have to wonder if you studied enough for your test.
Doesn’t matter if you’re pre-med, engineering, business, nursing, law, psych, whatever. If you have study material, it works.
First 50 people who make an account and actually try it get premium free. Just DM me your email after you sign up and I’ll upgrade you same day. All I want is honest feedback.
so I have an exam in few months, very important and high competitive national level exam. I want a perfect and most suitable ai agent for me even all in one for following tasks:
earlier, I was thinking to do pyq analysis from grok, deepseek and microsoft copilot (free versions) then put the result into claude opus 4.6 model to do pyq analysis and make notes accordingly. but if there is anything better and more suitable ai agent for above mentioned tasks then kindly do let me know. want honest suggestions .
i'm a third year and i feel like i wasted a lot of my first year doing things the hard way for no reason. not because i was lazy, but because nobody told me the basics. so here's what i actually use now.
write everything down, don't trust your memory - your brain is not a calendar. i used to keep deadlines "in my head" and constantly missed things or panicked last minute. the moment i started dumping everything into a simple list, even just notes on my phone - my stress levels dropped. it doesn't matter what system you use, just get it out of your head and somewhere visible.
go to the first class of every course - sounds obvious, but a lot of people skip the intro lecture thinking it's just admin stuff. it's actually the most important one, professors usually hint at exactly what they care about, how they grade, and what the course is actually about. that information is worth more than any lecture in week 8.
batch similar tasks together - reading for three courses in one sitting is brutal. but doing all your "easy admin" tasks together - emails, submitting assignments, checking grades, takes 20 minutes instead of spreading them across the whole day and breaking your focus constantly. grouping similar tasks by type instead of by subject saves real time.
eat something before anything that requires thinking - this sounds stupidly simple but i cannot tell you how many exams and study sessions i tanked because i hadn't eaten properly. your brain runs on glucose. a bad meal before an exam is genuinely worse than slightly less preparation. this is not optional.
ask for help earlier than feels comfortable - whether it's a professor, a classmate, or a tutor, most people wait until they're completely lost to ask for help, which means they've already lost a week. asking a "dumb question" in week 3 is infinitely better than asking it in week 9 when you're behind on everything.
protect your mornings if you can - i know not everyone has control over their schedule, but if you do - guard your morning hours. that's when most people have the highest focus and lowest distraction. checking social media first thing in the morning is basically trading your best brain time for nothing.
pick one thing from this list and try it for a week - that's more useful than reading ten productivity threads and changing nothing.
