Why aspirants need this
The drop year is lonely
Friends went to college. You study at home or in a PG. Seeing others at their desk right now makes it easier to keep going.
"I studied 10 hours." Did you?
Without a record, a day full of breaks still feels long. A timer per subject shows the real hours, honestly.
Nobody keeps you honest
Studying with friends works, but meeting every day is hard. A group in the app lets you study "together" from anywhere.
In one line: you can't see how hard everyone else is working. Padhai Timer lets you see it, and lets them see you.
