Everything you need to know

Students who need proof of progress: pre-med, engineering, law, business, high school AP/IB, bootcamps, and anyone juggling multiple courses or exams.

Yes, you can download it free on the App Store.

EstudyLog is built for iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 17.6 and above. Your sessions, courses, and grades sync across your devices.

No. You can start and stop timers offline. When you reconnect, we sync your data and update your analytics automatically.

No. You can start a timer, close the app completely, and put your phone away to focus. When you finish, just open the app and stop the session. The timer runs in the background automatically.

No. Live Activity can be buggy for long study timers, and we try to keep EstudyLog as distraction-free and reliable as possible.

No. While your study history and stats sync across all devices, the active timer only runs on the device you started it on.

Yes. Go to Settings and turn on Auto-sync new sessions. EstudyLog will create a separate calendar called EstudyLog in the iPhone Calendar app and add new saved study sessions there, so you can look back through your study days from your regular calendar.

Don't worry, your data is saved safely. Sometimes the calculation engine takes a moment. Just relaunch the app, and your dashboard charts will populate fully.

No. Insights are deterministic—fully based on your logged data. Each card shows a confidence indicator so you can see how reliable the patterns are for your current data volume.

Walk through the chart and how to use it inside Insights in our Biological Peak Hours guide.

Yes. Tap the active Timer Card on the dashboard to open the session details. You can add notes there without stopping the clock.

Go to the Courses tab, swipe left on the course you want to update, and tap Edit. Add or update the outline/topics, then make sure you save your changes.

A valid course outline should come from your syllabus and list the real topics you will cover in the course. Avoid vague labels like Chapter 1 or Chapter 2 by themselves; include the actual chapter or unit names, such as Cell Biology, Chemical Bonding, or Supply and Demand.

If the auto-parsing fails, you can add topics manually in the Course Edit screen. Just type your topics separated by commas (e.g., "Cells, Mitosis, Genetics") and we will format them correctly.

To protect your study history (total hours and sessions), courses cannot be fully deleted. Instead, you can Archive it. Tap the "Play" button on the Course screen and change the status to "Archived" or "Completed."

No. Archiving simply hides the course from your active Courses. All your session data and total hours remain saved in your analytics.

The progress bar requires a specific deadline. Make sure you have set a Final Exam Date in the "edit course" rather than just a general goal.

We infer the time needed based on the days remaining until your Final Exam. If you haven't set an exam date, we estimate the end of the semester based on your timezone. For accuracy, please set a Final Exam date.

In version 1.3, we deprecated the old Daily Plan and replaced it with the new Insights engine. If you used that feature heavily, please reach out to us—we are collecting feedback.

Deleting the app does not cancel the billing. You must go to your iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions, find EstudyLog, and cancel it there.

Open the EstudyLog app, go to Settings > Manage Subscriptions, and tap "See All Plans." You can switch your plan there.

We are sorry for the glitch. Please email support@estudylog.com immediately, and we will manually fix your status.

Go to your Settings, scroll down, and request account deletion. Your account will be deleted in 7 days if you do not log back in; logging back in during those 7 days cancels the request.

If your subscription expired, you are now on the Free tier, which has a limit on the number of active sessions/courses. You will need to resubscribe to unlock unlimited logging.

Please email support@estudylog.com. We may be able to provide an alternative solution for your region.
