## Who is it for?

StudyBuddy is designed for:
- Students preparing for exams (board exams, JEE, NEET, competitive exams)
- Anyone who wants to study using the Pomodoro technique or timed focus intervals
- People who want to track their study sessions and build daily study habits
- Users who prefer a free, offline-capable, privacy-respecting study tool

## Focus Timer Features

StudyBuddy includes 8 built-in focus techniques:

1. Pomodoro (25 min focus / 5 min break) — classic method for beating procrastination
2. Short Sprint (15 min / 3 min) — for low-energy days or quick review sessions
3. Deep 50 (50 min / 10 min) — for problem sets, writing, coding, and longer work
4. 52/17 (52 min / 17 min) — productivity research-backed interval for sustained work
5. Ultradian (90 min / 20 min) — one deep block for research or project work
6. Exam Block (35 min / 7 min) — practice questions with time to review mistakes
7. Reading Reset (30 min / 5 min) — textbook reading, annotation, and summaries
8. Custom — set any focus and break length from 1 to 180 minutes

## Keyboard Shortcuts

- R — reset the timer
- F — finish the focus session early

## XP and Level System

- Earn 5 XP and 2 coins for every 5 minutes of real focus time
- Sessions must be at least 5 minutes to qualify for XP
- Level up when your XP bar fills; each level requires more XP than the last

## Coins and Companions Shop

  and unlocking progressively with coins: Mochi, Rusty, Chip, Luna, Ember,
  Bolt, Glow, Pixel, Neo, Astro, Willow, Sakura, Ellie, Bamboo, Shelly,

- Each companion has its own personality (wise, calm, energetic, curious,
  mysterious, playful, tech, magical, retro, cyber, explorer, cheerful,
  gentle, zen, shy, fiery, loyal, and more)
- Companions are cosmetic — they display during sessions as motivation
