Study session tracker with subject tagging and break reminders.
Track Your Study Time by Subject
This study timer helps you understand where your time actually goes. Tag each session with a subject — math, history, biology — and see a log of every session with its duration. Most students discover they're over-studying their strongest subjects and under-studying their weakest.
Break Reminders
Set a break reminder interval (default: 50 minutes) and the timer will alert you when it's time to step away. Research on cognitive performance shows that 50–90 minute study sessions followed by genuine breaks produce better retention than grinding for hours without stopping.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Pomodoro timer?
The Pomodoro timer enforces fixed 25-minute sessions with structured breaks. The study timer is more flexible — it runs as long as you work, logs your sessions by subject, and gives optional break reminders. Use it for longer study blocks or when you need subject tracking.
How long should I study before taking a break?
Research suggests 45–90 minutes of focused work before a genuine break. The default break reminder is set to 50 minutes, but adjust it to match your natural focus rhythm.
