A study accountability app for you and your study buddy
A study accountability app helps you study consistently by sharing your study sessions with a friend. On DuoShare you set a goal like “Study 45 minutes,” run a focus timer, and check in when you are done. Your study buddy sees it, and you see theirs.
Why studying needs accountability
Studying is the classic “I’ll start in five minutes” habit. When a classmate can see whether you studied today, those five minutes tend to become now. Daily check-ins also beat cramming: small sessions every day add up.

- Create “Study 45 min” for your study days.
- Share it with a classmate or a friend studying for something else.
