How the study timer works
Set your session
Choose your focus duration, break length, and hourly rate. Start the timer when you're ready — it runs in the background.
Earn when you finish
Complete the full session to collect your virtual salary. Resets and skips pay nothing. Showing up is what counts.
Invest your earnings
Put your salary to work in a simulated portfolio of real stock tickers with delayed market data and historical charts.
Everything a study timer should have
Customizable Pomodoro sessions, ambient sounds (rain, café, fireplace, and more), automatic break management, daily shift goals, streaks, and a full activity dashboard — all free, all in your browser.
