Study like it counts. StudiesTimer turns study time into something you can see, share, and compete on. Start a timer, tick off what you finished, and watch your hours stack up next to your friends'. THREE TIMERS, ONE APP • Pomodoro — work and break blocks, any length you want. Not locked to 25 minutes. • Countdown — set a target and go. It keeps counting past zero, because you usually do too. • Stopwatch — open-ended sessions for when you don't know how long you'll last. STUDY WITH PEOPLE, NOT ALONE • Add friends and see who actually put the hours in this week • Start a study group with its own chat and shared schedule • Climb a global leaderboard that moves while you study • Go head to head with a friend in a live session A TASK LIST THAT LIVES WHERE YOU STUDY Write down what you're doing before you start. Tick it off when it's done. No app-switching, no separate to-do list to keep in sync. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT • Hours by subject, by day, by week • Streaks that break only when you actually miss • Levels, ranks and achievements earned from real hours • Share cards worth posting after a good week ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Home Screen widgets show today's total at a glance. A Live Activity keeps the running timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you never have to open the app just to check the time. WHAT'S FREE The timer, your tasks, streaks, friends and the leaderboard. No trial, no countdown, no card.

Verdict
RemNote and StudiesTimer both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of StudiesTimer's written reviews are positive against 73% of RemNote's. RemNote's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RemNote sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and StudiesTimer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemNote has 1.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of RemNote's written reviews are positive against 100% of StudiesTimer's.
RemNote ships an update every 3 days, StudiesTimer every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
