## What is OffShelf?

OffShelf is a study timer and study tracker for anyone whose phone keeps winning. Start a focus session, block the apps that pull you away, and watch your study hours add up, alone or with friends.

Pick a topic. Press start. That is the whole ritual.

— A FOCUS TIMER THAT KEEPS COUNTING —
• Pomodoro (25/5), long deep-work blocks, or open-ended sessions
• Face-down mode: the timer only runs while your phone lies face down. Pick it up and it pauses.
• Runs on wall-clock time, so locking your phone or taking a call can't pause it or inflate it
• Live on your Lock Screen, in a Live Activity and on your Home Screen widget
• Timer styles you'll want to look at: a candle under the night sky, a train, a gravity timer that tilts with your phone, an hourglass and more
• Study to rain, white noise, a fireplace or the forest

— BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS (PREMIUM) —
Pick the apps that steal your time, like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat or Netflix, and OffShelf blocks them with Screen Time for as long as your session runs.

— A STUDY TRACKER THAT KEEPS THE RECEIPTS —
Every finished session is filed under a topic, so your progress stacks up into a record you can actually look at:
• Study hours per topic, with levels that climb as they add up
• A daily streak, with a weekly Streak Freeze so one bad day doesn't erase a month
• An activity heatmap and a daily study chart
• Milestones, achievements, coins and Focus XP
• Tap "Distracted" to log what pulled you away

— STUDY WITH FRIENDS —
• Pair with a study buddy: see when they're studying and what they finished today, and nudge them when they go quiet
• Start a live co-study session and share one clock
• Take on your friends in weekly focus competitions
• Climb Today's Focus League, a daily leaderboard of real focus minutes

— PLAN YOUR WEEK —
• One weekly planner for every topic: tap to add a study block, drag to move or resize, repeat it weekly or keep it to one day
• Daily focus goals for the things that can't wait
• Don't know where to start? "Pick for me" chooses your next topic based on what you've been neglecting

— A STUDY FRIEND THAT CHEERS YOU ON —
Your study mascot keeps you company while you focus and talks to you about your day.

— WORKS OFFLINE —
OffShelf starts fast and works without a connection. A weak signal never stands between you and a focus session.
