How this study timer works
Pick a subject (optional), hit Start, and study. Pause if you're interrupted, resume when you're back, and Stop & save when you're done — that session is now in your History with an exact duration, ready to review later.
No account required
Everything above works immediately as a guest, saved on this device. Create a free account only when you want it backed up and synced across your phone, laptop, and desktop — your guest sessions import automatically the first time you sign in.
Organized by subject
Categories are yours to define — Biology, Thesis, Bar Exam, whatever you're actually studying. Every session gets tagged, so your history and dashboard break down exactly where your study time goes.
A real history, not just a countdown
Most online timers reset to zero and forget everything. Studist keeps every session, so "how much did I actually study this week" has a real, honest answer.
Weekly goals and streaks
Set an optional weekly or monthly hour target and track a daily consistency streak, with a few streak freezes each month for the days that don't go to plan.
