Real-time chat

Study together
Studying alone is hard. So don't.
The nights you'd have quit, a group carries you. Study Buddies turns solo revision into a shared room: real-time chat, quiz battles, polls, shared notes, a group Pomodoro timer to focus together, and a leaderboard that makes showing up feel like a win. Find partners, join your college group, and keep each other honest.

What it does
A real study session, not just a group chat
The tools inside a room are built for studying together — testing each other, focusing together, and turning up because the group is counting on you.
Quiz battles & polls
Challenge the room with quiz battles and quick polls to test each other and keep the energy up.
Group Pomodoro
Run a shared focus timer so everyone works the same sprint — peer pressure, but the good kind.
Shared notes & sessions
Share notes and schedule study sessions so the group has a plan, not just good intentions.
Public, private & college
Make a private room for your circle, a public one for anyone, or join a permanent college group.
Room leaderboard & XP
Earn XP, level up, collect level badges in chat, and top a room leaderboard with medal rankings.

Common questions
Study Buddies, answered
The quick answers before you join your first room.
What can I do in a study room?
Rooms support real-time text chat, quiz battles, polls, photo sharing, shared notes, a group Pomodoro timer, and scheduled sessions, plus member management and a room leaderboard.
Are rooms public or private?
Both. You can create private rooms for your own group or public rooms others can find, and there are permanent college groups so you can study with people from your university.
How does the gamification work?
Taking part earns XP, with levels, a room leaderboard with medal rankings, a global leaderboard, level badges in chat, and achievement toasts — all feeding the wider XP and leaderboards.
Does chat load quickly?
Yes. Rooms are offline-first: messages are cached locally and rendered instantly, then only new messages are fetched, so chat feels fast even on a weak connection.
