Workflow
A study setup you only build once.
The Library is for setup. The menu bar is for daily use. Study Boxes keeps the app out of your way once the session has started.
01
Create a box once.
Start from a template, then customize the kind of work, appearance, due date, tasks, resources, and focus behavior before saving.
02
Start from the menu bar.
Open a recent or pinned Study Box directly from the menu bar, using the saved defaults instead of rebuilding the same setup every time.
03
Work through the current task.
The focus HUD shows the active box, elapsed time, the current task, and the next task without turning the app into another dashboard.
04
Hide distractions and restore apps.
For Pro boxes, focus modes can hide or quit affected apps, then restore previous apps and window frames automatically where macOS allows it.
05
Keep the Library for setup.
Use the Library to organize courses, projects, templates, reminders, and progress. During a session, the menu bar remains the main surface.

FAQ
Questions before you install.
Is Study Boxes a website blocker?
No. Study Boxes is a study setup launcher first. Focus modes are optional and mainly work at the app level.
When will the public download be available?
The download link will be added after signing, notarization, and release packaging are finished.
What does the Free plan include?
Free includes one Study Box, 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 launch offer is a €12.99 lifetime license with up to 3 Mac activations.
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.
