Study Buddy Timer

Features
Read full description

Study Buddy Timer is a simple focus timer for tracking your study time. Start a study session with one tap, stop when you are done, and keep track of your daily study time, sessions, EXP, and level progress. You can also check your study progress from Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, so your daily study time is always easy to see. Study Pair (Study Buddy Pro) Connect with one partner through an invite link and see their study time for today and whether they are studying right now. Grow one buddy with the time you both put in. Days when both of you show up are "pair days". Days when only one of you studies grow the buddy half as much. Choose a "cheer" role instead of studying. A parent can take part with one tap a day, which makes Study Pair a gentle way to support a child. Only study-time totals are shared. Session times and notes never leave your device. Pair data lives only in your iCloud, and the developer cannot see it. Only the person who creates the pair needs Pro (one-time purchase). Invited partners join for free. Features: - One-tap study timer - Daily study time tracking - Study session count - EXP and level progress - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Simple stats screen - Study Pair: see your partner's study time, grow one buddy together, cheer role - Data stored on your device (pairs sync through your iCloud) It is not a complex task manager. It is a lightweight study timer for people who want to start studying and keep going.
