I’ve tried a lot of study timer and Pomodoro apps, and this one is by far my favorite. The design is really clean and calming, which actually makes me want to open the app and start studying instead of feeling overwhelmed before I even begin. What I love most is how customizable everything is. You can adjust the focus sessions and break times so it fits your study style, which has helped me stay consistent during long study days. The built in structure makes studying feel much more manageable and less chaotic.It is also really motivating to see how much focused time you have completed. Watching the sessions add up gives you a real sense of progress and keeps you accountable. It turns studying into something that feels productive and rewarding instead of exhausting.The app is simple in the best way. There are no distractions or unnecessary features, just a smooth timer that helps you stay focused and build a solid study routine. I honestly feel like my productivity has improved a lot since I started using it. If you struggle with procrastination or staying focused while studying, I would definitely recommend this app. It has made a huge difference for me 10/10!!!!
Found something that works for me!

Really loving SideQuest so far! As someone that has a hard time staying on track or focused this app has helped me lock in when needed! I add my to-do list into quests and unlocks a fun, interactive story as I’m completing tasks, which makes staying focused way more enjoyable. So far it’s a cool and motivating way to get things done!!!
I’m hooked

This app was made by an ADHDian for ADHDian’s. I actually cleaned my room the other day because this made it feel like a fun quest. I’ve gotten so much real life stuff done because how fun this makes mundane tasks that my brain can’t focus on. 10/10 recommend
ADHD User - AMAZING!!!

This genuinely keeps me on track because it feels like I’m gaming and not actually working or studying. Thank you for this!!!
