Study OS

Pathange Balaji Rao watched students drown in distractions—TikTok, notifications, open tabs everywhere—and decided to build something that actually respects the fact that studying is hard enough without your phone screaming for attention every 30 seconds. Study OS is a minimalist focus timer that combines tasks, notes, and study music into one clean space. No gimmicks. No gamification. Just a timer, your work, and something quiet to listen to.

Here's the thing about productivity apps: most of them become another distraction. Study OS strips that down to almost nothing. You get a timer, you write what you're working on, you take notes in the margins, and there's ambient music if you need it. That's it. No leaderboards. No streaks. No social features begging you to share your study streak with people who don't care.

The minimalist approach isn't a limitation—it's the whole point. Students, researchers, and anyone who actually needs to focus have too many tools already. Study OS gets out of the way and lets you work.
