Do you get distracted easily? Do you find yourself procrastinating on your phone when you should be looking at your books? Studybreak helps you overcome both these problems! Studybreak exists to help you improve your studying by cutting out distractions. Now, with even more powerful features to supercharge your learning! It's simple: you choose the Studybreak ratio you want, start the timer and put your phone down. If you pick up your phone before your study period is over, you get an alert telling you to get back to work. When you've studied the set amount of time, you get an alert letting you know it's time to take a break. That means it's also great for those who study too long and forget to take breaks at regular intervals. Studybreak automatically tracks your study-break intervals so you don't have to. Maybe you want to work for longer than the set time? Or cut one of your breaks short? Just hit the timer button and Studybreak will tally the extra break time so you can take a longer break later. Study smarter, and harder – with Studybreak. Beyond traditional study tracking, Studybreak now offers two revolutionary features to transform your study experience: Personalized Study Plans: Upload your course syllabus, and watch Studybreak automatically generate a customized study schedule tailored to your specific classes and academic commitments. No more guesswork or generic study plans – get a strategy that's uniquely yours. Instant Deep Dive Podcasts: Transform your PDF textbooks, lecture notes, and study materials into engaging audio podcasts in seconds. Just upload your PDF, and the app will create a professional-quality podcast you can listen to anytime – perfect for auditory learners or when you want to review material on the go. Extra features include: - Deep dive podcasts! Create podcasts from PDF files for any topic - Personalized Study Plans! Generate personalised study plans at the touch of a button - Background Mode. App works just as well in the background, so all you have to think about is getting work done. - Today Widget. Start or stop study sessions right from your lock screen. - Apple Watch App. If you have an Apple Watch, the Watch app is a great companion because it means you can use the app and only touch your phone when you're on a break. - Stats page to keep track of how efficiently you study and how many hours you study daily - Colourful timers indicating how efficient your study time is. Green if you meet your goals & red if you don't. MORE PREMIUM FEATURES: - Reminders. Set alarms to remind you when to start studying or to let you know if you won't complete your study goals for the day by a given time. - Add study time manually or edit previously recorded study time. - And many other nice touches to make your exam preparation easier! Go on, allow studybreak to help you stay focused and better achieve your study goals! **Please note that this app contains In App Purchases, including auto-renewing subscriptions of various lengths; monthly, quarterly and annual.
