Download and install
Pick Windows or Android above. The install steps are just below.

Type your email address. A code arrives within a minute. Type it in, and you get your own TAP Code.
Set up your first day
The setup wizard asks for your exam date and daily target. Then a short tour shows you around. Questions? Write to .
Installing, step by step
Installing from the file, Windows and Android each ask once whether you trust Tapasya, because it is not signed with a paid certificate yet. From a store, it installs like any other app.
Open Tapasya in the Microsoft Store
Use the Get it from Microsoft Store button above, then choose Get. Windows installs it and keeps it up to date.
Sign in with the emailed code
Then the setup wizard asks for your exam date and daily target. A guided tour shows you the rest.
Run the installer
Open Tapasya-Setup.exe from your Downloads folder.
If Windows says "Windows protected your PC"
Choose More info, then Run anyway. This appears for any program without a paid signing certificate.
Finish the installer
No administrator password is asked for. Tapasya starts, and its icon sits next to the clock from now on.
Sign in with the emailed code
Then the setup wizard asks for your exam date and daily target. A guided tour shows you the rest.
Install from Google Play
Use the Get it on Google Play button above, then tap Install. Play keeps it up to date.
Sign in with the same email as on your laptop
The phone opens on your real record, with no setup wizard.
Turn on strict mode once
Tapasya's set-up asks for the permissions strict mode needs, one at a time, and says why each is needed.
Open the downloaded file
Tap Tapasya.apk in your notifications or Downloads.
Allow your browser to install apps
Android asks once. Turn on Allow from this source and go back.
If Play Protect warns you
Choose More details, then Install anyway. It warns about apps that are not in the Play Store yet.
Sign in with the same email as on your laptop
The phone opens on your real record, with no setup wizard.
For strict mode, allow restricted settings
If Android greys out the switch, open Settings, Apps, Tapasya, tap the three dots at the top right and choose Allow restricted settings. Tapasya's set-up guides you through the rest.
Updates come to you
When a newer version is out, Tapasya says so when it opens. Install it over the old one: your study stays where it is.
New in 1.14.0
Strict mode on both devices, with the same rules
A strict session lasts the Pomodoro's study time on the laptop and the phone. Websites are blocked, or only the ones you allow kept open, in your browser on both. The phone adds screen time and Do Not Disturb, and you can delete your account from the app on either device.
