One app for the timer, the blockers and your progress.
Focus timer
Pomodoro rounds with breaks, or one free-focus block of any length. It keeps running from the tray, with an optional mini timer that stays on top.
App guard
Closes the programs you list while you focus: warn first, close instantly, or just remind you. Blocklist or allowlist mode. System processes are never touched.
Website blocking
A Chrome, Edge or Brave extension blocks distracting sites, even a single path like youtube.com/shorts, and keeps blocking if the app is closed mid-session.
Iron sessions
A promise to yourself. Blockers can’t be paused, lists can only grow, and ending early takes a cool-down and a typed sentence.
Crash recovery
If the app is closed or killed during a session, a small helper reopens it and your session continues where it left off.
Progress
XP, levels, streaks, a daily goal, a 13-week activity map, 24 achievements and a companion that grows with your focus time.
How it works
Pick what to study
Add a task, or just start a free focus. Choose Pomodoro rounds or one long block.
Choose what to block
List the apps and websites that pull you away. Pair the browser extension once with a 6-letter code.
Start focusing
StudyNook closes the distractions and shows a calm page instead of blocked sites. When the timer ends, you earn XP and grow your streak.
Iron sessions, for when you mean it
Willpower is weakest right when you need it. Turn on an Iron session and StudyNook makes giving up take effort, so a wobble doesn’t end the session.
The app guard can’t be paused, and lists can only grow during a session.
Ending early needs a 60-second cool-down and a typed sentence.
If the browser extension disappears, the browser is closed after about 90 seconds.
The switch itself stays locked for the number of days you choose.
A calm, focused interface
Light, dark, system or automatic theme, in four languages.
