Only what belongs to studying: people to study with, the hours you studied, your exam schedule, and the subjects and sections you study. ■ Study together in a study room Pick a room from the study room list, or make your own. In the room you see what subject each person is studying right now and for how many hours. Send friends a link or show them a QR code and they land straight in the room. Send it to someone without the app and it takes them to the store. ■ Buy dress-up items in the Shop In the Shop, pick the name tag that sits above your character in study rooms. Buy it with coupons, and switch between the name tags you own in My items. ■ Level up with the hours you study Your level rises with the time you measure. Level 100 is 10,000 hours. People studying with you in a study room see your level too. ■ Study every day to collect grapes Each day you study adds one grape, and the bunch is your study streak. Only days measured with the stopwatch, timer or Pomodoro count. ■ Keep your study as a record Daily, weekly and monthly study log cards show when you studied. Study stats show time per subject, per section and per tool, and how it changed from the previous period. ■ Add your exam schedule Enter the exam name and date and it counts down the D-day. See this month's exams at a glance on the calendar. Link study logs to an exam and the hours you studied for it add up. ■ Manage study by subject & section Use subjects on their own or group them in a subject box. Write sections under a subject and that is your plan — like Math, pages 100–140. Finished sections move to Done and are kept apart. ■ Start studying the moment you open the app On the first screen, pick stopwatch, timer or Pomodoro and tap to start measuring. The subject you were studying and the exam you were preparing for carry right over. Reopen the app and you are still in the study room you joined. ■ Share today's study In Share from the menu, save or share the Home, Study log, Summary, Streak stickers and Student ID cards as images. Pick a photo of the book or notes you studied and the date and time are stamped on it — a photo that shows you studied. ■ Study with ambient sound Rain, a library — ambient sounds to play while you study. You can also keep the screen on while you study.
