Don't study alone. Focus together. Koza is a study app where you plan your tasks, focus with pomodoro and meet people working toward the same goal as you. Whether it's a university entrance exam, a civil service exam or your own goal, everything is easier with someone studying beside you. FIND: MEET YOUR STUDY BUDDY Each card shows the person's name, age, photos, level, goal, study hours and study place. Say hi or pass; the choice is always yours. You can also leave a short note. When you both say hi, or your request is accepted, you match and a chat opens. Filter by age, level and gender. For your safety, users aged 14-17 and adults never see each other. EVENTS AND LIVE STUDY ROOMS Join scheduled study events or create your own; we remind you before it starts. Everyone in the room works on a shared timer. Camera and microphone are completely optional, and video and audio are never recorded. TASKS AND POMODORO Write your tasks, give each one a duration and check them off as you go. Start solo, set your own focus and break lengths and study with focus sounds (rain, fireplace, waves). The timer also shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, where you can pause and resume it. FEED Share your questions, study notes and focus sessions; like and comment on what others share. PROGRESS MAP See your weekly study time, your streak and the tasks you finished. You decide who sees your showcase: everyone, your friends or only you. KOZA PLUS See who liked you and who left you a note, and accept right away. Use advanced filters (your city, what they're looking for, study place, shared interests, personality, study hours) to choose who you see. Hi's and notes are unlimited for everyone. Weekly and yearly subscriptions are available; cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. SAFETY Report and block are always at hand on every card and profile. Messages, notes, posts and profile photos are moderated before they are published. Reported content is reviewed within 24 hours, and violations lead to account suspension. You can delete your account anytime in Settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://koza.social/legal/privacy-policy
