Studying alone is the hard part, not the timer. Kaizen puts other people in the room: join a Focus Room and work alongside others as avatars with live timers, no camera or microphone. Run Pomodoro or stopwatch sessions, block distracting apps on iPhone, iPad and Android while you focus or on a schedule, and keep habits, tasks and focus stats in the same app instead of three separate ones. Free with no ads, on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and the web.

Could you build this?
Yes A Pomodoro timer, live avatar rooms with presence, and app blocking are standard app and realtime features, though iOS app blocking requires Apple's Family Controls entitlement, which is manageable.
