Workflow

Everything for a session, saved in one place.

Prepare each box in the Library. Start it from the menu bar. During a session, the timer and current task stay close without taking over your screen.

01

Prepare each box once.

Start from a template, add resources and tasks, set the due date, choose the look, and save the defaults you want next time.

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

02

Start from the menu bar.

Open a recent or pinned Study Box directly from the menu bar. Your saved defaults are ready to go.

03

Make the menu match your subjects.

Each box can have its own name, type, icon, color, tasks, resources, and defaults, so the menu feels personal instead of generic.

Custom menu Subjects, icons, colors, resources, and tasks.

04

Stay on the current task.

The HUD shows the active box, elapsed time, current task, and next task in a compact view.

05

Quiet apps you do not need.

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

Session defaults with focus mode options for hiding, quitting, or strictly blocking distracting apps

06

Use the Library for setup.

Use the Library to organize courses, projects, templates, reminders, and progress. Use the menu bar when it is time to study.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is Study Boxes a website blocker?

No. Study Boxes is a study setup launcher. Focus modes are optional and work at the app level.

When will the public download be available?

The public download link will be added after Developer ID signing, notarization, and release packaging are finished.

What does the Free plan include?

Free includes one Study Box, up to 3 resources, tasks, notes, the menu bar timer, basic reminders, and backup export.

What does Pro unlock?

Pro unlocks unlimited boxes and resources, templates, focus modes, window restore, calendar feeds, import, and deeper session history.

Does it read my browser tabs?

No. Study Boxes can open study websites, but it does not inspect or restore individual browser tabs.

Why does it ask for Accessibility permission?

Only focus and window restore features need Accessibility. Boxes, tasks, notes, resources, and timers work without it.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. The early bird offer is a €12.99 lifetime license with up to 3 Mac activations. After launch, the lifetime license price will rise to €15.99.

Does Study Boxes upload my study data?

No. Boxes, tasks, notes, and resources are stored locally. Optional crash reports are for technical diagnostics only.

Why is it not on the Mac App Store?

Study Boxes uses macOS capabilities for focus and workspace restore that fit direct distribution better than a sandboxed App Store release.

Can I use it without focus modes?

Yes. You can use boxes, tasks, notes, resources, reminders, and the menu bar timer without enabling app-affecting focus features.
