Voyage turns a study session into a flight. For students, by students. Pick a real route on the globe. The flight time is your study time. SFO to LAX is 1 hour 25 minutes. SFO to JFK is 5 hours 30. Pick a seat, write down up to three things to work on, and tear your boarding pass to take off. Turn on Airplane Mode and Voyage blocks the apps you pick, from takeoff until you land. It uses Apple's Screen Time, so your music and the map keep working. The list of apps stays on your phone. While you study you can look out the window, listen to the cabin, or follow your plane on the map. If you leave the app for more than 30 seconds, your flight stops early. It's a lot easier to stay when there's a plane to land. No destination in mind? Open skies takes off for 25 minutes with nowhere planned. Tap to fly it yourself, let go and the autopilot takes over, and it lands you at a real airport nearby. When you land, customs asks you three quick questions out loud about what you studied. It runs on your iPhone, and you can turn it off. Then you get a passport stamp and a logbook entry. You can replay any trip on the map and share it. Long routes have real connections with a layover between legs. Widgets and a Live Activity show your flight on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. I'm Patrick. I study electrical engineering at UCSB and I fly a lot. I love it. I built Voyage because I wanted studying to feel more like that. It's free. No ads, no subscription, no account. Your history stays on your phone. The code is open source at https://github.com/machmoon/Voyage. If something breaks or you want a route added, open an issue there.
