StudyBreak is a study timer and app blocker that keeps you off your phone and focused on your work. Pick your study/break ratio, start the timer, and the apps that distract you stay locked until it's time for a break.
NEW: BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS
Choose the apps that pull you away (social media, games, videos) and StudyBreak blocks them automatically every time you start a study session. They unlock again when your break begins. No willpower required.

WORKS WHEREVER YOU STUDY
Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. StudyBreak keeps running in the background, and the widget lets you start or stop a session in a tap. With the Apple Watch app, you can track your session without touching your phone until break time.
Whether you're preparing for finals, the SAT, MCAT, bar or CPA exam, or just trying to beat procrastination, StudyBreak helps you study with focus and take breaks without guilt.

Most issues have been resolved with the new update. Thank you! Only current problem is that the app keeps recording even after you stop studying. I have to get out and back in and then it shows if it’s still tracking time or not. This app is amazing for tracking your study hours. It gives you a grade depending on if you achieved your goal and your study rate. It detects distractions, tracks your daily habits and is very easy to use. Recommend!

Best app for tracking study time and staying off your phone
knava11
I downloaded this app and upgraded to track my study time as I prepare for my CPA exams. I’ve been using it for about a month and a half and it really has helped me track my time and stay off my phone. Now that I am moving to a new subject, I wish there was the option to see study time by subjects. For example, somewhere that I could click “Chemistry” and it would show “8 hours 10 mins” and then click “Business” and it would show “20 hours 3 mins”. It would be helpful to see the separation by subjects rather than “total study time”

I love this app but

I wish it would go back 3 versions. I loved when it would tell me “currently studying” at the top and the old view it had with the book under. I bought the year version and wouldn’t mind any other add ons. I just wished it was a little more aesthetically pleasing and would fix the top and bottom bar like before.
Notification system is terrible and breaks don’t start
ASmallRam
When this app works is great. However, most of the time the app doesn’t notify me when the study time is over, and if it does then it often doesn’t actually start the designated break timer. Disappointing. Also, I find the notifications very rude. For instance, I studied with the app today and after about 4 hours i took a break and got a notification shaming me for having taken 20 minutes of break time during the day and that at this rate I’d be “on a break all day.” Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn the snide remarks off...
