StudyCount turns your study sessions into a competition. Start the timer when you sit down to study. Stop it when you're done. Every session gets added to the weekly leaderboard, where you compete against other students for the top spot. WEEKLY LEADERBOARD Every week resets. Everyone starts from zero. The more you study, the higher you climb β€” Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, or Master. See where you rank against friends and students worldwide. STUDY GROUPS Create a group with friends, share a join code, and compete on a shared leaderboard. See everyone's all-time study hours in one place β€” the motivation of knowing your friends can see your progress is real. XP & LEVELS Earn XP for every minute you study, with bonus XP for keeping your streak alive. Level up over time and unlock new avatars as you progress. ACHIEVEMENTS 26 achievements across 6 categories β€” study time milestones, session counts, streaks, deep work, and a few secrets worth discovering. Each one rewards XP when unlocked. SUBJECT TAGGING Tag your sessions with a subject while you study. See a breakdown of where your hours actually go in Subject Stats on your profile. AVATARS Choose from 39 unique characters β€” humans, animals, and more. Free avatars are available from the start. Level-locked avatars unlock as you progress. Premium avatars come with StudyCount Pro. STREAKS Study every day to build your streak. Get milestone celebrations at 7, 14, 30, 60, and 100 days. Miss a day and you start over β€” so the pressure is real. FRIENDS Add friends to filter the leaderboard and compete within your own circle. See their streaks, their weekly badges, and where they rank. STUDYCOUNT PRO Unlock all premium avatars and get the full Subject Stats breakdown β€” see every subject, not just your top 3.
