Workflow

A study setup should open like a Mac utility.

Study Boxes separates setup from execution: organize in the Library, launch from the menu bar, and work from a compact HUD during the session.

01

Create the box once.

Choose a template, add resources and tasks, set defaults, pick an icon and color, then save the setup for later.

Create Study Box window with templates, details, and appearance controls

02

Start from the menu bar.

Open a pinned or recent Study Box without switching into a full library window. The setup starts from where you already are.

03

Keep the next task visible.

The Focus HUD keeps the current task, next task, timer, and session controls nearby without turning the Library into your workspace.

04

Use focus tools only when you need them.

Pro focus modes can hide or quit distracting apps, then restore affected apps and window frames when macOS allows it.
