Study until
the ice melts

A focus timer that grips you. A virtual ice cube melts in real time on your screen while you study — and the moment you quit, it stops. No streaks lost to a tab switch. No mercy for the phone scroll.

What's inside

Everything you need to lock in.

Tools that fight your worst habits — not another dopamine treadmill. Built for the kind of focus that actually changes your grades.

The melting ice timer

A timer you actually watch.

Pick a session, hit start, and a virtual ice cube starts melting on your screen. Quit early and so does the cube. Stare at it. Let it ground you. It works because you can see the time melting away — literally.

  • Sessions from 5 min to 4 hours
  • Live "ice left" indicator
  • Haptic check-ins at every melt-point

Stats & streaks

Watch your icy progress stack up.

Every session you finish becomes a number you can't unsee. Day streaks. Longest streaks. Sessions per week. The chart that tells you exactly when you started shipping. The chart that tells you when you slipped.

  • Day-by-day focus chart
  • Streak protection & recovery
  • Full session history & export

Personalized plan

A plan built for the kind of student you are.

Five questions, sixty seconds. We pick the right session length, daily target, and streak goal for your real focus span — not some generic 25-minute timer that doesn't know you keep checking TikTok.

  • Tuned to your focus span
  • Daily session target
  • Adapts as you improve
Why it works

A timer that's impossible to ignore.

Most focus apps fade into the background. Ice Study sits front and center until the work is done.

Visual focus that just works

Your brain can't ignore a melting cube. That's the trick — the timer is the focus, not a hidden countdown buried in a notification.

Streaks that compound

Day three feels good. Day twenty-one feels different. Real momentum from a habit you can't fake, because the ice doesn't lie about your time.

Built for the long term

Designed by students, for students. No ads, no nag, no shouting notifications. Just a tool that respects what you're trying to do.
