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. 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. That's the whole trick. It's a lot easier to stay when there's a plane to land. When you land 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. You can also turn on reminders to drink water, rest your eyes and stretch. 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. Voyage doesn't block other apps or turn on airplane mode. It just makes leaving cost you a flight.
