Anyone here who feels the same? Why?

Isn't that true for any category? There are plenty of apps that fall into similar categories.

For sure a saturated market.

Samuel Thomas Harris · Answer

Because people are always looking for the next big thing to boost their productivity! Plus there's that allure of the billion dollar exit... 🤑 Personally I use Motion for task management and Mem.ai for notes - both great tools built by solid teams. Anyone found a new productivity app they're loving recently?

Answer

I think people keep building them because there's always a new approach or feature that someone believes will make a big difference.

Answer

I get it, But for some,  it’s about finding the perfect tool to fit their specific needs. It’s almost like a quest for the ultimate productivity hack.

Answer

Because there's always something new to do to make our work processes better, I believe that developers of productivity apps continue to innovate. For me, it seems like there is always something fresh to streamline or optimize

Answer

Actually I enjoy trying  out new apps. Even if they don’t all stick, it’s interesting to see what unique solutions people come up with.

Answer

From my perspective, many productivity app creators are solving their own problems. They see a gap in the market based on their experiences and want to build something that works for them

@udaya_sri Could be. I am pretty sure. There's more than we need. Plus, I do get the notion of 8B businesses (a day in future). But I just hate apps being productive so the rant..
What category irks you the most?
