What Study Timer / Study Planner does and how it behaves

This tool measures study time the way a stopwatch measures a race: only the minutes you actually run it for exist in its records. You select the subject you are about to study, work through the built-in Pomodoro cycle, and each completed interval lands in that subject's totals, which feed the daily goal and the weekly progress chart. Everything runs in your browser, so no session data is uploaded anywhere. The surprise is the same one every timer produces: if the clock is not running, the studying did not happen, and no chart can recover a session you forgot to start.

How the result is produced

1

Pomodoro cycle

The Pomodoro cycle alternates a focused work interval with a short break, inserting a longer break after every fourth interval; the technique's canonical timings are 25 minutes of work, 5-minute breaks, and a 15-30 minute longer break. Each completed work interval counts as one recorded unit, credited to the subject that was selected when it ran.

2

One session log, three views

Recording is the only thing the tool measures, and every view reads the same log. Time run with a subject selected accrues to that subject; the daily goal shows whether today's recorded total reached the target; the weekly chart groups the same sessions by day. Because one log feeds all three views, they stay consistent - a session recorded under the wrong subject shows up in that subject's column.

Good uses

  • Exam prep in Pomodoro blocks: work one focused interval per subject in turn, and let the tool accumulate how much recorded time each subject actually received.
  • Daily goal keeping: set the day's target in the planner, work the sessions one at a time, and check progress against the goal before you stop for the day.
  • Weekly review: read the progress chart to find the subject with the least recorded time and point next week's effort there.

Limits and checks

  • The records contain only time the timer actually ran. Forget to start, stop early, or let the clock run while you check your phone, and the chart reports whatever the clock reported - it cannot tell focused work from a running timer.
  • A daily goal is a number you choose for yourself. Reaching it proves consistency with your own plan, not that the amount of study was appropriate for the material.
  • Sessions are credited to the subject selected when they ran. A block started under the wrong subject lands in the wrong column, and nothing in the weekly chart flags it.

Common questions

What happens if I close the tab or step away mid-session?

We cannot verify this page's behavior away from the keyboard from its description, so treat the timer as live only while you are watching it. Pause or stop the session yourself whenever you step away: only time that actually ran can appear in the records, and a record you control is the safest one.

Are the Pomodoro lengths fixed at 25 and 5 minutes?

The standard cycle is 25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of break, and a longer break after every fourth block, and the description says Pomodoro cycles are built in. Whether this particular page lets you change those lengths is unconfirmed, so plan around the standard cycle and check the page for settings before assuming otherwise.
