## What is MonoStudy?

Study timer, Pomodoro, flashcards, to-dos, and statistics. Everything you need for exams and university — in one place.

MonoStudy is the all-in-one study app for students.
A beautifully minimal design with every distraction and every ad stripped away. From the moment you open the app, you're ready to study.


■ 7 reasons students choose MonoStudy

1. A study timer that starts in one tap
- Open the app and start right away — zero time wasted deciding what to do.
- Track laps per subject to see exactly where your time goes.
- Today's total and your last session are always in view, quietly nudging you to focus once more.

2. Pomodoro timer that builds a rhythm of focus
- Study in cycles of 25 minutes of focus + 5 minutes of rest. Focus, break, and long-break lengths — and sets per cycle — are fully customizable.
- Focused time is recorded automatically, just like the regular timer, and flows straight into your statistics.
- Notifications mark the end of each block, so there's no need to watch the clock.

3. Widgets & Live Activities — useful even when the app is closed
- Start and stop the timer right from a Home Screen widget, without opening the app.
- Keep today's study time and your to-dos visible on your Home Screen.
- While tracking, the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show your elapsed and remaining time — your studying self always in the corner of your eye.

4. Flashcards × spaced repetition, built on memory science
- Just add the words and terms you want to learn. The spaced-repetition algorithm quizzes you at the optimal moment — right before you forget.
- Work through "today's reviews" and vocabulary moves into long-term memory. A scientific memorization habit, no willpower required.
- Organize freely by subject with tags and colors.

5. A to-do list that removes hesitation
- Jot down today's tasks and check them off as you go, with due dates and reminders when you need them.
- No more "what should I do next?" — just full focus on the task in front of you.

6. Graphs & statistics that make effort visible
- Look back on your daily, weekly, and monthly study trends in beautiful charts.
- Watching today's time, this month's total, and your lifetime hours stack up makes it fun to keep going.
- Forgot to track a session? Add or edit records manually anytime.

7. Radically simple. Nothing gets between you and studying
- No distracting extras, no noisy ads.
- A glass tab bar that floats above the bottom edge and controls that let the background show through — a quiet design that never hides your content, so tracking and reviewing stay effortless.
- Supports Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Increase Contrast, so you can tune legibility to your needs.


■ Recommended for

- Exam takers: manage and optimize study time per subject for entrance exams and finals
- University students: balance lectures, papers, certifications, and language study (TOEIC, IELTS, and more)
- Anyone struggling to memorize: learn vocabulary and technical terms with a scientific approach
- Habit builders: graduate from giving up in three days and build a study habit that sticks

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-02

■ A new design
- The tab bar now floats above the bottom edge as a capsule of glass, with a lens of light that glides to whichever tab you choose.
- The timer, study session, and top-bar controls now share one style: round glass buttons that let the background show through. They float quietly over your content without hiding what you're reading.
- Icons are unified into a single line-art family, so the same symbol means the same thing on every screen.

■ Easier to see and use
- With Increase Contrast turned on, glass surfaces become opaque so text and buttons stay crisp.
- Floating buttons can now be reached and pressed with an external keyboard, and VoiceOver labels have been refined.

■ Bug fixes
- Fixed an issue where study records could fail to appear when "All time" was selected in Statistics.
- Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
