TrytonApp helps student organizations—fraternities, sororities, academic clubs, and study groups—track study hours using geofenced zones. KEY FEATURES • Create study zones (e.g., library, study room) and verify members are present • Track study sessions with start/end times and durations • Leaderboards, streaks, and weekly goals • Role-based access: Owners, Admins, and Members • Invite codes for easy organization joining • Pro tier: unlimited members, custom zones, and analytics TrytonApp uses your location to verify you are in a registered study zone when you start a session and while a session is active—including limited background updates from the OS during an active session so zone and pulse rules can run. Location is not used for study tracking when you have no active session. Organizations may enable optional pulse (presence) checks with local notifications. Requires an invite code from your organization or the ability to create a new organization. Ages 13+.
