Padhai TimerWhy Padhai Timer
Most aspirants already have books, coaching and YouTube. What's missing is someone beside you, every day.
The drop year is lonely
Months at the same desk with no one around is the hardest part of preparation. When you can see that other aspirants are studying right now, sitting down again feels normal, not lonely.
"I studied 10 hours." Did you?
Most of us remember the good days and forget the lost hours. A timer that runs only while you study, subject by subject, tells you the truth. Then you can fix it.
Nobody keeps you honest
A study partner works because someone notices when you stop. A group with your friends does the same thing, even if you live in different cities.
In one line: you can't see how hard everyone else is working. Padhai Timer lets you see it, and lets them see you.

What Padhai Timer is not
Not a coaching app
We don't teach or sell courses. Keep your teachers and books. This just keeps you at the desk.
Not a camera room
Nobody sees your face or your room. Only your nickname and time.
Not a place to waste time
The community is for short study talk. Bad words, phone numbers and links are blocked automatically, and posts disappear after 30 days.
Who makes it
Padhai Labs, a small independent team, makes it. We built it because we felt it is something every aspirant really needs while studying.
