Timeary
Read full descriptionHide full description
Only what belongs to studying: your exam schedule, people to study with, and the subjects and sections you study. ■ Got an exam? Add the exam date 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 records to an exam and the hours you studied for it add up. ■ Study together? Join 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. ■ Split your study: subject & section Subjects can stand alone or be grouped in a subject box. Write sections under a subject and that is your plan — like Math, pages 100–140. Sections can stay empty. ■ Open the app and start right away You can start measuring on the first screen the moment the app opens. The subject you were studying and the exam you were preparing for are ready to use again. Pick stopwatch, timer or Pomodoro, tap, and you have started. Reopen the app and you are still in the study room you joined. ■ Keep study time as a record Daily, weekly and monthly study record cards show when you studied. Swipe a card sideways for total study time and time per subject. Study stats show time per subject, per section and per tool, and how it changed from the previous period. ■ Share today's study Long-press a card to save or share the study record card and the info card as an image. ■ Study with ambient sound Rain, a library — sounds to play while you study. Your level rises with the hours you study. Level 100 is 10,000 hours. ■ Invite friends with a link or QR Send a link or show a QR code and they land in the room. You can send it to someone without the app — it takes them to the store. ■ Sign-in Sign in with a Google or Apple account. Records are saved to your account.

Studying alone, it's easy to drift. With other people in the room, you tend to stay put. Snug seats you in a quiet room with others, each working on their own thing. ■ Drop in anytime, stay as long as you like No schedule, no countdown. Your time starts adding up the moment you sit down, and the JOURNAL calendar shows how much you did each day. ■ No talking required There's no chat box. You can only send a few set greetings and stamps, and they go to everyone in the room. Nobody to impress, nothing hurtful to read. ■ No one-on-one contact No DMs, no friend requests. If someone bothers you, report or block them right away. ■ Four rooms worth leaving on Campfire, Seaside, Rooftop and White Room. Pick the one you like. Four themes to match: Dawn, Clear morning, Blue hour and Night forest. ■ No sign-up needed Every feature works without an account. Link one to keep your record when you switch phones. No leaderboards. Nothing here compares you to anyone else.
