studysesh

Start focusing in minutes, alone or with friends. Block distracting apps and sites, sync sessions across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

studysesh helps you run focused study sessions and keep distractions out, across iOS and macOS.

Create a session with a subject and Pomodoro-style blocks (study + break). When it’s time to focus, studysesh applies your restrictions and keeps you accountable.

Key features:

• Build custom focus sessions: study/break blocks, durations, and subject
• Block distracting apps and websites while you focus
• iOS: uses Screen Time (Family Controls) for app and web blocking
• macOS: monitors selected apps/sites (requires Accessibility permission)
• Sync sessions across your linked devices using nearby peer-to-peer connections
• See your progress with stats like total focus time, sessions completed, and blocked distractions
• iOS Live Activity support (on supported devices) to keep the timer visible

Subscriptions & purchases:

• New users get a free first week of access.
• After that, continued use requires an in-app purchase (monthly, yearly, or lifetime options).
• You can restore purchases and manage subscriptions anytime from the Subscription screen.

Notes:

• Some features require granting the relevant system permissions (Screen Time on iOS, Accessibility on macOS).
• Session history and stats are stored on-device. Optional feedback surveys open in your browser.
