today, we bring ASMR to everyone. describe a situation, tag anyone to cameo, pick a use case, then Parafield creates a personalized 3D sound experience for you. imagine you’re meditating with Steve Jobs in the rainforest, or a 1920s barbershop ASMR where @garrytan is your barber. whatever you can imagine, a new form of entertainment has been born. create your personal soundtrack now:

Update: the prize pool is now at $13k 🤯 This might be the first fitness app on earth where people panic harder missing their steps than missing the gym entirely lmao
Someone built a fitness app using the same psychological mechanics as gambling This might work better than every normal fitness app 😭😭 You bet money on whether you’ll hit 10,000 steps today If you fail, you lose your money If you succeed, you split the money from everyone who didn’t So disciplined people literally profit off lazy people Most fitness apps try motivating you with streaks and notifications This one motivates you with financial fear Imagine realizing at 11:52pm you still need 1,700 more steps or you lose $30 Entire friend groups would be outside walking laps around their neighborhood before midnight trying not to lose their steppa challenge It sounds stupid but this would probably motivate people better than any other fitness product Would you use this yourself?

1M ARR. 160K monthly revenue. 2M downloads in 9 months. Nearly a billion views. 50 UGC creators. 0 paid ads. All bootstrapped. I'm 21, uni dropout. The consumer app game has changed. You can now outperform a VC-backed company from your bedroom with a laptop, but only if you understand the new playbook. Most founders who DM me for advice are completely out of date and always leaving money on the table. So I'm offering consulting for consumer app founders on acquisition, conversion, activation & retention. Book a call → link in bio.
