StudyBuddy is a time-management assistant that helps you earn your free time by studying first.
Whether you're a student, a professional, or someone trying to stay focused in a world full of distractions, StudyBuddy makes it easier to build discipline and reward yourself—without relying on willpower alone.
Once installed, StudyBuddy allows you to define two types of websites:
• Prerequisite sites — where you study or work (e.g., LeetCode, Khan Academy, online classes)
• Reward sites — where you relax (e.g., YouTube, TikTok, Netflix)
As you spend time on your approved study sites, StudyBuddy tracks your progress and converts it into earned time you can later spend on your reward sites. By default, the extension uses a balanced ratio—for every 60 minutes of focused study, you unlock 10 minutes of reward time. However, this ratio is fully customizable, as are the lists of study and reward websites.
Here's how it works:
• While you're on a study site, StudyBuddy quietly keeps track of your focus time.
• When you visit a reward site, StudyBuddy checks your available reward time.
• If you haven't earned enough, the reward site is blocked with a friendly reminder to study more.
• Once you've accumulated time, the site is unblocked and your break begins.
• As you use your break time, it counts down. When it runs out, the site is blocked again until more study time is earned.
Visual Feedback Built In
A floating icon gives you subtle, real-time feedback:
• On study sites, the icon appears calm and focused, representing your "study buddy."
• On reward sites, the icon relaxes while you enjoy your break.
• If you run out of reward time, your study buddy looks sad—and the site is blocked.
• If you're not on a tracked site, the icon remains hidden to avoid unnecessary distractions.
Why StudyBuddy Works
• No accounts, logins, or internet syncing required — all settings are saved locally.
• Customizable site lists and study-to-reward ratios to fit your routine.
• Only counts time when you’re actively using a tab — no cheating the system.
• Built to be lightweight, distraction-free, and noninvasive.
Who it’s for
StudyBuddy is ideal for:
• Students who struggle with digital distractions during homework or exam prep
• Freelancers and remote workers who need help sticking to work time vs leisure time
• Anyone trying to develop stronger habits through reinforcement and boundaries
StudyBuddy acts like a guardrail, not a wall. It doesn’t block everything — it just makes your breaks feel earned. This gentle accountability system helps you regain control over your time and break the cycle of “just five more minutes.”
If you've ever meant to be productive but lost an hour scrolling without realizing, StudyBuddy is for you. Every minute you invest in yourself moves you one step closer to guilt-free relaxation.
Download StudyBuddy and start building a better relationship with your time — one study session at a time.
