Home study is sometimes tough because you are surrounded by distractions and routines are easy to skip.

The right apps make each of those tasks easier. They increase focus, store class materials, and block sites that steal your time.

Below are five apps that make studying at home easier.

Forest

Forest turns focus into a small game. When you start a timer, a virtual seed grows into a tree while you work. If you leave the app, the tree dies.

This makes it easier to resist your phone and stay on task. Use it for 25‑minute Pomodoro sessions and watch your virtual forest grow.

You can also earn coins and support real tree planting through the app’s partners.

Quizlet

Quizlet is fast and simple for flashcard study. You can create your own sets or search millions of premade decks. It offers study modes like Learn,

Use Quizlet for quick, last‑minute review. You can start by importing your class notes, turning key facts into short cards, and running a 10–20 minute session before a quiz.

The app also lets you add images and share sets with classmates for group study.

After a session, you can play one quick round of Solitaire to relax for five minutes before the next focus block.

Anki

Anki helps you remember things for a long time. It shows flashcards just when you are about to forget, so you study less and remember more.

You can make cards your way, add pictures, and set how often you see them.

Use Anki for heavy memorizing like languages, formulas, or medical terms. Start small, try 10–20 new cards a day and review every day.

It takes some time to set up, but it really helps you keep information for months and years.

You can also use a short Spider Solitaire game as a quick, low‑stress reward after finishing a study goal.

Notion

Notion is a flexible tool to keep your notes and projects. You can make a page for each course, add checklists, attach files, and link related notes so everything stays together.

Use Notion as a course hub. You can make one page per subject, add a simple weekly study plan, and store lecture slides and short summaries in the same page.

Templates and databases let you track assignments and deadlines easily.
