What is StudyDork?
StudyDork is a free iPhone app for studying with friends. You join a clan, focus alongside friends with a Pomodoro timer and app blocker, earn rewards and build a study space that feels like yours.
Is StudyDork free?
Yes. StudyDork is free to download and the core game is free: XP, levels, the weekly leaderboard, streaks, your room, clans and app blocking. StudyDork Pro is an optional subscription for extra features.
How much is StudyDork Pro?
StudyDork Pro costs A$7.99 per month or A$49.99 per year in Australia. It adds advanced statistics, calendar integration, advanced Pomodoro, custom app-block lists, unlock actions, ad-free use and extra cosmetics.

Not yet. StudyDork is available on iPhone and iPad (iOS 16.1 or later) and is coming soon to Google Play.
How do I study with friends on StudyDork?
Join or create a study clan, invite classmates, and start a focus session. You can see who in your clan is focusing, chat with your group and work towards shared goals.
Does StudyDork block apps?
Yes. When a focus session starts, StudyDork blocks the distracting apps you've chosen until the session ends. Pro lets you build custom block lists.
Can I unlock my apps early?
Yes, but it takes effort on purpose. On the free plan you can watch an ad or pay 400 gems. Pro replaces those with unlock actions such as holding a T-pose for 60 seconds, doing squats or pushups, or tapping 2,000 times. Pro also has Ultra Locked In, which removes every way out until the session ends.
How does StudyDork compare to apps like Forest or Opal?
Unlike Forest, which relies on passive visual motivation (trees withering) and does not prevent you from opening apps, StudyDork uses Apple's Screen Time framework to strictly block distracting apps. And unlike basic blockers that can be bypassed in one tap, StudyDork requires physical effort (such as squats or holding a T-pose) to quit early, while turning your study into XP, room decor, and clan progress with friends.
Does StudyDork have a Pomodoro timer?
Yes. You can use a simple study timer or Pomodoro sessions. The free plan uses 20-minute focus and 5-minute break intervals; Pro lets you set custom intervals.
What are clans and the weekly leaderboard?
Clans are study groups where members focus together and compete as a team. The weekly leaderboard ranks players by the XP they earn from focused study each week. It resets every Monday and the top three win reward chests.
What is a Dorkling?
A Dorkling is your StudyDork character. You can dress it in collectible skins and decorate your study room with furniture and themes bought with gems and chest rewards.
Is StudyDork good for HSC and VCE?
StudyDork is built for students preparing for HSC, VCE, university exams and homework. It tracks your study hours by subject and keeps you accountable with friends during exam season.
Who makes StudyDork?
StudyDork is developed by Karo Bokani. It launched on the App Store in May 2026.
