Rally turns studying into something you always show up for, and eliminates distractions to make your studying more effective. Start a focus timer and watch your hours add up. Every minute you study earns Focus Points, builds your daily streak, and pushes you up your school's leaderboard. WHY STUDENTS USE RALLY • Focus timer that rewards you: a clean 24-hour progress ring tracks your day. The longer you focus, the more Focus Points you earn. • Study with your friends, live: see who's studying right now, join a group session, and share one collective timer. Studying together earns everyone more. • Climb the leaderboards: compete on your school's board and the global board: today, this week, this month, or all time. • Keep your streak alive: study a little every day and grow a streak you won't want to break. • Turn tasks into focus: add what you need to get done, link it to a class, and schedule it straight into your calendar. • Earn your way up: unlock achievements, collect cosmetics and pets, and make your profile your own. • Study for a cause: Focus Points fund real donations to campus charities. The top school each semester earns a $1,000 donation to their cause. RALLY PRO Go further with Rally Pro: multiply the Focus Points you earn, unlock premium themes and deep study analytics, and power charity donations. Subscribe from the app any time, and cancel whenever you want. Built for college students who want to lock in, stay accountable, and make studying feel a little less lonely. Download Rally and turn your study hours into something that counts.
