OS-level app blocking
Keep chosen distractions unavailable throughout your study session.
Study first. Scroll second.
You can talk yourself into 15 more minutes.You can't talk yourself into knowing the answer.
StudyIn blocks distracting apps while you study, then makes you prove you've actually learned something before giving them back.
The problem
Your screen-time app doesn't work.
You've already set the limit.
You've already pressed “15 More Minutes.”
You've already pressed “Ignore Limit.”
Every blocker eventually gives you an out. StudyIn doesn't.

The science
Built around how learning actually works.
StudyIn draws on research into distraction reduction, retrieval practice, adaptive challenge, spaced repetition, and earned rewards.
Blocking distractions
A randomized trial found that blocking mobile internet on smartphones can improve sustained attention. But students also rely on their phones for studying. StudyIn takes a selective approach, blocking the functions that distract while keeping the focus on what helps you learn.
Retrieval practice
Retrieving an answer from memory strengthens long-term learning more effectively than simply reading it again. By completing a quiz on the same topic you have been working on, you are both reinforcing your learning and proving that you have been studying.
Adaptive difficulty
Practice can be more useful when the difficulty stays challenging without making successful retrieval unlikely. StudyIn uses an adaptive difficulty algorithm to show you the questions best suited to your current level of learning.
Spaced retrieval
Spaced retrieval can help knowledge last beyond a single study session. StudyIn resurfaces previously seen questions to reinforce learning and strengthen understanding.
Temptation bundling
Pairing something you want with something you should do can make the “should-do” behaviour more likely. This is called temptation bundling, a principle that StudyIn’s “Earn Your Screen Time” mechanism mirrors. The activity you want — screen time — sits on the other side of the activity you need to do — studying.
