## What is StudyReel?

The study tracker that films your effort.
Set your phone on the desk and start — your study session becomes a timelapse video.
Keep the proof of every hour you put in.

WHO IT'S FOR

FEATURES
■ Timelapse recording with the time on screen, made on your device. Faces can be pixelated automatically
■ Focus timer and stopwatch with focus sounds
■ Goals and countdown to exam day, with past-paper score charts
■ Books: scan the barcode to add a book and track time per book
■ Stats and calendar: daily time, time by subject, trend charts
■ Study Buddies: make a group with friends by QR code and see who's studying now and everyone's time today and this week. Cheer each other on with stamps (owners approve who joins; no chat)
■ Weekly vlog: your week becomes one video
■ Share cards for your study account
■ iCloud backup to your own iCloud Drive
