Your camera is the only accountability partner that never lets you scroll. Sesh records a timelapse while you study - so you can see yourself being watched, and prove to yourself (and everyone else) that the session actually happened. Prop your phone up, hit start, and get to work. Sesh captures your session in the background and compresses it into a clean 30–60 second timelapse when you're done. No editing, no trimming, no wasted hours of footage to sort through — just point it, work, and post. Why it works Studies (and TikTok) agree: you focus harder when you know you're on camera. Sesh turns that psychology into a habit loop — record your session, watch your streak grow, and walk away with a video worth posting. What's inside — Start/stop timer with automatic timelapse capture — GitHub-style contribution heatmap of your last 52 weeks — Current streak, longest streak, and total hours studied — Miss a day without losing everything — one skip per week keeps your streak alive — Export straight to your camera roll, ready for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts Built for the grind Whether it's CS problem sets, MCAT prep, or a 4-hour thesis session, Sesh doesn't care what you're studying — it just makes sure you actually sat down and did it, and gives you proof. Your footage stays yours Sessions are stored on your device. Nothing uploads anywhere unless you choose to export it. No account required to use the app. Sesh Plus — $2.99/month Remove the export watermark permanently, skip the rewarded ad, and unlock premium export options. Free users can still export watermark-free by watching a short ad — Plus just skips that step. Auto-renewing subscription, cancel anytime in Settings. See our Privacy Policy for details. Lock in. Prove it. Post it. Subscription terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
