You check the time, and forty minutes later you're deep in someone's vacation photos. Let a spare phone handle the clock instead: 25-minute focus blocks, a countdown to finals, a new word every time you glance up. It has no apps that want you back.
Pick your situation Try the study timer
Every focus app lives on the same device as every distraction. Move the timer to a phone that does one job, and the hardest part of studying, picking up your phone, goes away.
Pick the closest one to see which apps to open and where to put the screen.
Seeing "12 days left" every time you sit down does more than any reminder ever will.
You glance at a clock dozens of times a day. Put a word there and you'll see it dozens of times too.
Anyone can do 25 minutes. Add some rain sounds and a minute of slow breathing, and starting stops feeling like a big deal.
A 12-day streak on your shelf is hard to break. Nobody wants to be the one who ends it on day 13.
All free, all in the browser. Anything tagged "Runs on old devices" works even on iPhones and iPads stuck on iOS 10–12.
A focus timer that sits next to your laptop so your phone can stay in the drawer.

Try it →Stop using that phone as your clock. Put a spare phone on your desk that only runs a study timer, and keep your main phone in another room or your bag. If you never pick it up, it can't pull you in.
You work in 25-minute focused blocks with 5-minute breaks, and take a longer break after four blocks. The study timer runs the blocks for you and chimes when it's break time.
Yes. The exam countdown has an SAT preset, or you can enter any date and time. It shows the days left alongside a Pomodoro timer.
Yes. Every app runs free in the browser with no ads on screen.
The study timer and clock run even on iPhones and iPads stuck on iOS 10–12. The exam countdown and vocab clock need iOS 13 or Android 7 and up.
It's still a browser, so if you want to be sure, turn on Guided Access on iPhone and iPad or Screen Pinning on Android to keep it on one app.
Turn the brightness down, use a dark theme and enable optimized charging if your phone has it. The apps shift slightly over time to prevent screen burn-in.
Dig it out of the drawer, plug it in, open the study timer. All that's left is sitting down for the first block.
