Arnoby turns studying into a game you actually want to play. Complete focus sessions to earn carrots, hit streaks for rare diamonds, and spend them to unlock a growing roster of collectible study buddy characters. Built solo, brand, characters, code, and the Play Store launch, all by one person
Hey everyone, I'm Karim. I built Arnoby for my sister, who's in university and, like a lot of Gen Z, has basically zero patience for sitting down and reading a textbook. She gets bored fast, and honestly, so do I, I get hooked on things pretty easily myself.
So I figured, why not point that same psychology at something actually useful instead of something that just eats time. Arnoby runs on the same reward loops that make games and social apps hard to put down, aimed at studying instead.
The MVP is intentionally simple, one core feature: a study timer. Study, earn coins, spend them in the shop, unlock something new. That small hit of reward is what pulls you back to do it again, the same loop behind most habit-forming apps, just pointed somewhere that actually helps.
This is early, and I've got a lot more of these addictive mechanics designed and ready to test on real users. Would love your honest feedback, especially on how the loop feels after a few sessions
Also, separate from Arnoby, I wanted to say hi to any designers, developers, or entrepreneurs reading this. I'm always looking to connect with people building interesting things, and I'm open to joining teams or collaborating on fun projects, whether that's full-time, freelance, or just something fun on the side.

Always happy to meet new people in this space
