Tapasya
New: strict mode on laptop and phone

Every hour of study, honestly counted.

A CA Final study tracker for your laptop and your phone. The laptop notices when you study, the phone locks away distractions, and both share one record you can act on.

Strict mode, on laptop and phone

Everything else stays locked until the Pomodoro ends.

Before a focus session, tick the apps and sites you need. Start the Pomodoro, and the laptop and the phone keep everything else shut for exactly that long. Nothing ends it early.

Try to break it. Tap a distraction:

0 tries counted. Each one goes into your distraction analysis.

On the laptop

Any program you did not allow is put away the moment it opens. Websites are blocked by name, or only the ones you allow, such as icai.org, stay open.

On the phone

Every app you did not tick is locked, Android's Settings included, and the same website rules apply in your browser. Do Not Disturb can come on for the session. Restart the phone and the lock comes straight back.

Every try is counted

Each attempt to open something locked is recorded, so you see the pull as well as the hours, and which app pulls hardest.

The record keeps itself. You keep studying.

Most trackers ask you to remember them. Tapasya sits quietly next to the laptop's clock and in your phone's pocket, and does the remembering.

  1. 1

    It notices

    LaptopPhone

    On the laptop, Tapasya counts active time by itself: keyboard, mouse, sound playing or a full-screen lecture. The lock screen and sleep do not count. On the phone, the focus timer runs with a notification while you study.

  2. 2

    It asks

    LaptopPhone

    After two hours not logged yet, a small check-in appears on the laptop, already filled in: two ratings and Enter. On the phone, Log study opens from the bottom and the paper is one tap. Study from a book counts too.

  3. 3

    It shows

    LaptopPhone

    Hours against your target, the balance between papers, the syllabus read, a plan that matches your real pace and where the distraction went, on whichever device is in your hand.

Windows and Android

Your laptop and your phone, one record.

Each device does what it is best at, and both share one record. Chapters, study blocks, plans, revisions, tests and doubts go across within about half a minute. Changes made offline go later.

On your laptop

  • Counts active study time by itself, even through a lecture
  • A check-in every two hours, already filled in
  • The window log: where laptop time went, by app and by site
  • The full Dashboard, Planner, Revisions and weekly review
  • A desktop widget and a morning brief
  • Strict mode for programs and websites

On your phone

  • Today at a glance: hours against target and the last seven days
  • Log study and Focus always under your thumb
  • The focus timer, with a notification while it runs
  • Screen time: today's time on distracting apps, and the week
  • Friends, and how their day is going
  • Strict mode that locks every other app

On a tablet held sideways, you get the laptop's layout with larger touch targets. The window log never leaves the laptop.

Every paper keeps its colour. None is quietly left behind.

Each paper has its own colour everywhere in the app, so a week's balance reads at a glance. Subject balance names the one that is slipping.

What changes once the record exists

A long preparation is steered by small corrections made early. Each of these is one you can only make when you can see what really happened.

You know your real hours

Not the hours you sat at the desk. The hours you logged as study, against the target you set, every day and every week.

Plans you can actually finish

A plan of any length, from one day to 180, is compared with what you really did in the last four weeks before you commit to it.

Revision starts with the weakest chapter

The revision queue puts your lowest confidence first, then the chapter you have not touched for longest. As many rounds as you need.

Tests explain themselves

Every lost mark gets a reason: concept gap, calculation, presentation, time pressure or a misread question.

Distraction is measured, not guessed

The window log shows where laptop time went, by app and by site, and the hours of the day when it peaks.

Study away from the laptop counts too

Log a block from a book in a few seconds, or answer when the app asks on your return whether you were studying offline.

Study alongside friends.

Add a friend by their TAP Code. Once they accept, you see how each other's day is going: hours, the streak, and the paper on the desk. Chapter names, notes, marks and the window log stay private.

Yours alone.

Kept on your device

Your record is a file on your own laptop and phone. The server holds a copy only to keep your devices in step, and a short summary of your day if you choose to share it.

Nothing watched

No screenshots. No keystrokes recorded. Only whether the laptop is in use and which window is in front. Incognito windows are skipped.

Sign in without a password

A code arrives by email, asked once per device. There is no password to leak.

One square a day.

Tapasya is the Sanskrit word for disciplined, sustained effort towards a goal. The mark is seven squares, one for each day of a week, and the last one, today, is lit.

0 days kept this year

Start with today's square.
