Your streak, in your pocket.

A study timer app for iPhone and Android

StudiesTimer brings a study timer, subject tracking and study groups into one workflow. Check the store panels above for current mobile availability. While a store is pending, the free web timer works in your phone or desktop browser.

Plan a task, time the work, review what you learned

1. Choose a concrete task, such as solving six algebra questions without notes. Use the study schedule maker to allocate blocks before an exam.
2. Start a Pomodoro session, a custom focus block or an open-ended stopwatch. Start with a manageable duration and take a real break.
3. For connected tracking, sign in and select a subject label. After studying, check your saved session. Keep a separate note of your practice result; elapsed time alone does not measure learning.
4. Review subjects each week. If Chemistry has the lowest practice accuracy, move a future block there instead of simply increasing your total hours.

Study tracking and statistics

Subject labels make recorded time easier to interpret. Compare study days and subjects, then use practice questions to decide what needs attention. Account history depends on your plan. The public study tracker is a separate local log stored in the browser; it does not sync with your signed-in timer sessions.

Study groups and study buddies

Study groups offer chat, live presence and a shared leaderboard. Free accounts can join up to three groups; creating a group requires Premium. Agree on one outcome before the session and compare what you completed afterward.

A study buddy is a way to build accountability with one friend. Use a shared routine that fits both schedules, and treat streaks as encouragement rather than a reason to skip rest.

Choosing between StudiesTimer, Forest and other focus apps

Different tools solve different problems. Forest combines growing virtual trees with app blocking, focus statistics and group focus. It also offers tagged analytics. StudiesTimer is an option to try when you want a browser timer, subject tracking and study groups. Compare the actual workflow on your device instead of assuming either app lacks the other's features.

Pomofocus pairs a browser Pomodoro timer with tasks. Focusmate provides scheduled video accountability sessions. Choose a timer for flexible solo work, or a scheduled partner when an appointment is the part you need. Store prices, platform support and limits can change; check each provider before choosing.

Free features and Premium

You can run the web timer without an account. A free account includes saved sessions, up to three labels, a weekly goal and 14 days of session history. Premium adds longer history, more labels, group creation and saved habits. See current plans for the full details; mobile store offers may differ.
