Endura is the study app that makes focus feel like something worth fighting for. Set your timer, watch your egg come alive on screen, and stay in the app — because the moment you try to leave, Endura reminds you: your egg won’t survive without you. When time’s up, crack it open. Inside is a rare, real-world endangered animal, released into your personal sanctuary to roam, rest, and grow your collection. Features: ∙ STUDY TIMER — Choose your subject, set a timer, and focus. Our distraction-free timer keeps you motivated with gentle reminders — leave early and your egg might not make it. ∙ HATCH ENDANGERED ANIMALS — Every completed study session hatches a new endangered species — from Amur Leopards to Pangolins. Nickname them, learn about their conservation status, and build your sanctuary. ∙ PERSONALISE YOUR SANCTUARY — spend Eco-Credits on accessories and decorations (yes, your panda can wear a party hat) ∙ PROTECT REAL WILDLIFE — Donate directly to WWF conservation projects from inside the app. 100% of donations go to protecting habitats and endangered species worldwide. ∙ Progress Tracking — weekly, monthly, and subject-by-subject breakdowns with visual charts ∙ Global Leaderboards — compete with friends, classmates, and students worldwide ∙ Animal Study Tips Feed — scroll through unconventional, actually useful, research-backed study tips delivered by your animals ∙ To-Do Lists & Badges — stay organised and get rewarded for every milestone Endura took what makes social media impossible to put down — streaks, leaderboards, collections, social comparison — and redirected it somewhere that actually matters. Built by a 16-year-old IB student who believes her generation can truly change the course for endangered species. Endura is youth-led, free to use, and designed to make every study session count.

About

Yoruro

Read full description

Yoruro helps you begin, stay with a task, and understand your focus habits without turning study into another source of pressure. Choose a desk mate, write down what you want to finish, and create a focus plan that fits your day. The timer records actual focus time, pauses, and interruptions, then turns those facts into a clear weekly view. On compatible devices, optional Apple on-device AI can break a broad goal into concrete starting points, classify interruption notes, and write a short reflection or reachable micro-goal. All time calculations and statistics are handled by app code, not by AI. Your tasks and study history stay on your device. There is no account, advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics. The timer and records remain fully available when AI is unavailable.
