The problem
Sound Familiar?
“I sit down to study, but notifications keep pulling me away. An hour passes and I've barely made progress.”
Constant distractions
“I feel like I studied all day, but my grades don't reflect it. I have no idea how much time actually went to each subject.”
Where did the time go?
“Starting is the hardest part. I keep putting off that essay until it becomes a last-minute panic session.”
The procrastination spiral
“I open TikTok for ‘just a quick break’ and suddenly it's 2 hours later.”
The algorithm knows exactly how to keep you scrolling

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Chronoid actually help me focus better?
Yes! Chronoid combines proven techniques like the Pomodoro method with website blocking to create an environment where deep focus is the default. Plus, seeing your actual study time data creates accountability that naturally improves your habits over time.
Can I still take breaks and use social media?
Absolutely! The website blocker only activates during your focused study sessions. During breaks, you have full access to everything. The Pomodoro timer even reminds you to take regular breaks to prevent burnout. It's about balance, not deprivation.
Is there a student discount, and how do I claim it?
Yes — students and educators get 50% off. To claim it, email support@chronoid.app from your school email address (or attach proof of enrollment) and you'll get your personal discount code. Chronoid is already a one-time purchase ($49-99) instead of a monthly subscription, so you pay once and use it throughout your entire academic career — far more affordable than subscription apps that charge $10+/month.
