Focus timer
Deep-work sessions your grades can feel
Start a focused session on the subject you're studying, keep the timer floating over your notes, and build a streak you won't want to break. It's the focus timer that lives inside your planner — right next to what's due.
Sessions tied to subjects
Focus on Biology, and the time is logged to Biology. See where your study hours really go, subject by subject, week by week.
Pomodoro-style, your rules
Classic 25/5, long 50/10, or fully custom work and break lengths. The timer adapts to how you focus, not the other way round.
Picture-in-picture timer
The countdown floats in a small window over your notes, flashcards or textbook PDF — leaving the app doesn't kill the session.
Streaks that keep you honest
Daily focus streaks and stats turn showing up into a habit. Miss a day and you'll feel it; keep the chain and you'll see it.
Focus that knows your workload
Standalone pomodoro apps don't know you have a Physics exam on Friday. StudyWillow's timer is wired into your actual school life:
- Start a session straight from a task or exam — the timer knows what you're working on
- Home-screen widgets start and show sessions without opening the app
- Focus history per subject reveals your real study balance before grades do
- Reduce Motion and quiet design options keep sessions distraction-free
Good to know
Focus timer questions
Is it a Pomodoro timer?
It supports the classic Pomodoro rhythm (25 minutes work, 5 minutes break) plus custom work/break lengths — 50/10, 90/15, or whatever fits your attention span.
Can the timer stay visible while I use other apps?
Yes — picture-in-picture keeps a small floating timer on screen while you read, watch a lecture or use flashcard apps.
Does it track how much I studied per subject?
Yes. Sessions are logged against subjects, so your stats show exactly how much focused time each subject got this week and term.
Do I need a separate study timer app?
No — the timer is part of StudyWillow, next to your timetable, homework and grades. Your focus data and your deadlines finally live in the same place.
