The story behind EstudyLog

We’re a student-led product crew building the study tracker we always wanted - an intuitive, privacy-first companion that keeps you consistent without the busywork.

Why we built EstudyLog

Between lectures, part-time jobs, and the occasional all-nighter, our study habits were chaos. The apps we tried were either packed with enterprise dashboards or so minimal they were useless. EstudyLog started as a weekend project to give our friends a clean place to log sessions, reflect on progress, and build routines that actually stick.

Our mission: help students plan, log, and reflect on their study time without losing sight of what matters - learning the material and protecting their well-being.

What the app delivers

Every feature in EstudyLog earns its spot by saving time or reducing friction. Here’s what you get the moment you sign in:

Organized timelines

Log each session by course, tag topics, and add quick notes so you remember exactly where to pick up next time.

Spacing prompts

The spaced repetition engine nudges you toward topics that are drifting, keeping review balanced without manual spreadsheets.

Visual streak motivation

Customizable streaks and weekly charts show how consistent you’ve been, keeping motivation high (and guilt low).

Privacy-first syncing

Your data syncs securely across devices, stays encrypted, and can be exported or deleted with a single tap.

Progress so far

The EstudyLog community stretches from first-year undergrads to med-school residents and grad researchers. We ship updates every two weeks so the app evolves alongside campus life.

What we care about

Keep it simple

Students open EstudyLog and instantly know what to tap. If a feature needs a tutorial, we iterate until it doesn’t.

Protect student data

No ads, no selling study habits, no dark patterns. You control your information, period.

Build with real feedback

Every release cycle includes campus interviews, Discord office hours, and usability sessions with students juggling heavy course loads.
