You're not alone. Today, AI generates code—and many people copy and paste without knowing how to read, debug, or evaluate what they're manipulating. AI often ends up correcting itself when you insist… but in the end, you're entirely dependent on it, without ever knowing if what it produces is actually good.

Trace teaches you to take back control. Not to memorize syntax like in other apps—to understand and evaluate code, including the code AI writes for you.

What you'll learn:
• Understand how AI really "codes" (and why it makes mistakes with such confidence)
• Spot a bug, a hallucination, or code that "works" but is actually bad
• Judge whether the code the AI ​​returns is reliable, readable, and safe
• Formulate your requests clearly to get good code

How it works:
• 3 short challenges each day, about 2 minutes total
• A daily check-in to keep you on track and with your series
• Learning paths that help you develop your skills, not just recite code
• Each correct answer unlocks a developer skill that you'll retain

The examples are in JavaScript—the most common language when coding with AI—but the skills you acquire apply to all languages.

Trace isn't about "learning to code." It's about stopping being a victim of the code AI writes for you. ## Rankings - #3,087,636 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.romainmaes.trace.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [RoboTrail Coding Brain Trainer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.smartsikhye.robotrail) — 6 users - [AI Training - Lessons and Tips](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.aitraining.learn) — 159 users - [CodeBuddy AI: Coding Tutor](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.codebuddy.ai.tutor) — 63 users - [Apex Path: Learn to Code App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.apexpath.app) — 1,429 users - [Ten by Ninety: Learn AI Daily](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.latitude44.claudelearn) — 3,880 users - [EasyCoder AI: Learn Java](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.amensah.easycoder) — 384,012 users, 4.25 / 5 - [Know Your Code](https://chrome-stats.com/d/jp.ac.jec.cm0138.understandme) - [CodeTutorAI: Learn How To Code](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mokaio.codetutor) — 48 users - [MindForge AI: Learn AI & Code](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.helionix.mindforgeai) — 9 users - [CodeTuto: Learn Coding & AI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mobtechi.codetuto) — 2,810 users - [CodeLingo: AI Python & Coding](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.akinstudio.codelingo) — 187 users - [Learn Java With AI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.learnlanguages.java) — 3,777 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.romainmaes.trace)
