Everything you need to study smarter

My Study Diary combines a focused study timer, an online diary, and per-subject goal tracking — all in one calm interface.

Study timer with focus tracking

Start a session, log notes when you drift, and the diary quietly measures your real focus — not just time-on-page.

Per-subject study goals

Set a target (e.g. 100 hours for a final exam subject) and see live progress bars showing hours logged vs. hours remaining.

Exam countdown for any exam

Add your exam dates — GCSE, A-Level, IB, SAT, university finals — and see exactly how much study per week is needed to hit your goal.

Online study diary

A daily diary entry per study session — what you covered, what was hard, and what to revisit. Searchable forever.

Stats that actually help

Year-at-a-glance heatmap, most productive hours, focus drift trends and per-subject health pills.
