I built a platform that actually motivates you to study more
I started building GroupStudyTimer because I was procrastinating a lot while preparing for exams. I tried a bunch of Pomodoro apps and timers, but after a few days I'd just stop using them. What actually helped was studying with friends and knowing someone else was also putting in the hours. That made me think the problem wasn't the timer—it was accountability. So I started building GroupStudyTimer. It's basically a study platform where students can create groups, track study hours, use Pomodoro or custom timers, see analytics, and stay consistent together. I'm still improving it every week based on feedback from students.

I like that you identified the habit problem instead of assuming people needed a better timer.
The timer isn't what keeps people studying. It's the feeling that someone else is showing up too. If that's what users come back for, you've moved beyond productivity into behavior change.
