Study with friends

Studying is better with friends.

Add your friends and every week becomes a friendly race. See who’s ahead, pick a rival and focus together — live, wherever you are.

Your weekly leaderboard

You and your friends, ranked by this week’s study time. A new race starts every Monday.

The Friends tab: Noah and Mia are focusing, and a leaderboard of six friends for this week

A rival to beat

Pick a friend as your rival and see, hour by hour, who’s ahead this week.

The weekly battle: Alex with 9 hours 45 minutes against Noah with 8 hours 7 minutes — you’re ahead by 1 hour 38 minutes

Study together, live

Start a session with friends: the same rounds and breaks for everyone, and your time adds up together.

A session together: round 1 of 2 with four friends, 2 hours 52 minutes together, and a growing tree

See who’s focusing

The study room shows who’s studying right now. Join in, or send a cheer.

Study groups

Make a group for your class or your friends, with its own leaderboard.

Lock Duels

Everyone’s apps locked, no pausing. Whoever gives up first pays up — a coffee, a snack or their honor.

Focus timer

Watch your focus grow.

Start a session with one tap. Your time grows into a tree, fills a cup of coffee or turns night into morning — in one of ten designs.

  • Timer, stopwatch or Pomodoro with automatic breaks
  • Calm focus sounds, like soft rain
  • Your session on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island

Focus Lock

Lock your distractions.

Choose the apps that pull you away. They lock the moment you start studying and open again when you’re done. Focus Lock uses Apple’s Screen Time, so StudyRank never sees which apps you pick.

  • Locks your chosen apps in every session
  • Schedules and daily time limits
  • Earn your apps back by studying
  • Hard mode, for the days you really mean it
  • A daily focus score
Focus Lock with the padlock closed: free in 42 minutes, 1 hour 56 minutes locked today and a focus score of 93
Flights

Turn focus into a flight.

Pick a route and study while your plane crosses a live satellite map — from a 30-minute hop to a six-hour journey.

  • 48 real routes, from 30 minutes to 6 hours
  • A satellite map that follows your plane
  • Every flight you finish lands on your own world map
Choosing a flight: New York to Los Angeles, 2 hours and 2,469 miles
Mid-flight over the United States: 46% flown, 1 hour 4 minutes remaining

FAQ

Questions & answers

Is StudyRank free?

Yes. StudyRank is free to download and use, without ads — the focus timer, friends, the leaderboard, sessions together and Focus Lock included. An optional upgrade, StudyRank Pro, adds extras like more timer designs, flights and statistics.

How do I add friends?

Sign in with Apple or Google, open the Friends tab and add your friends by their handle. Once they accept, you’re on each other’s leaderboard.

Do I need an account?

No. You can start right away. Sign in with Apple or Google whenever you want to add friends or use StudyRank on more than one device.

How private is Focus Lock?

Focus Lock uses Apple’s Screen Time framework. Apple only gives StudyRank anonymous tokens for the apps you choose, so we can’t see which apps they are — and your app usage never leaves your iPhone.

Does StudyRank work on iPad?

Yes. StudyRank is made for iPhone and iPad and needs iOS 18 or later. Signed in, your progress stays in sync between your devices.

Which languages does StudyRank speak?

English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Romanian, Greek, Turkish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Traditional).
