Set a study target from available time
Begin with your existing commitments rather than an arbitrary daily-hour challenge. A target of eight hours across five days is about 96 minutes per study day before breaks. The calculator rounds up to full blocks so the result reaches your target; the schedule maker instead rounds down to fit a fixed budget.
Pair an hours goal with an outcome
Time targets make a workload concrete, but they do not measure understanding. Pair “six hours of Biology this week” with an outcome such as explaining a process without notes or completing a practice set and reviewing mistakes. Reduce the target if it crowds out sleep or essential commitments.
How connected study goals work
A free account supports one weekly goal, while Premium supports unlimited weekly goals. Account goals use your recorded study sessions to show progress. The public calculator above does not read or update your account and does not claim you have completed any work.
What if I fall behind?
Reassess remaining tasks and available days. Carry forward the most important work, reduce low-priority tasks and reserve some buffer. An achievable revised plan is more useful than increasing every following day to compensate.
Take your study timer to iPhone and iPad
StudiesTimer is now available on the App Store. Use Pomodoro, countdown or stopwatch sessions on your phone, then sign in with the same account to keep saved study time, streaks and groups together with the website.
Home Screen widgets show today's study total, and a Live Activity keeps the running timer on your Lock Screen. The app requires iOS 17 or later. Android is coming soon; the web timer works in your browser today.
Build your study workflow
Plan what to study, focus on one block, then use your recorded time to adjust the next week.
