For students

Study in sessions that add up.

Plan a subject as a task, study it in Pomodoro blocks and see honestly how much of the evening went to it, and how much to everything else.

Sample data

A day like yours

Three chapters to cover before Thursday. You add each one as a task with an estimate, start a Pomodoro, and take the break when the timer says so. Later, Activities shows how the evening split between your notes, the course site and everything else.

Tasks with honest estimates

Each task shows time spent against your estimate, so planning the next week gets easier.

How focus sessions work

Considering RescueTime for studying? FocusNow vs RescueTime

Can FocusNow tell studying apart from procrastination?

You set the rules. Mark your notes and course sites as Focus and a video site as Distraction, and your day sorts itself.

Do I need to start a timer every time I study?

No. Tracking runs on its own. Pomodoro and Deep Work sessions are there when you want structure.

Is it free for students?

Yes. Core tracking and focus sessions are free for everyone, with no card and no separate student plan.

Start with today.

Install FocusNow, work as usual, and open it this evening to see your day.
