RankLock is a study timer designed to help you reduce digital distractions. It tracks when you lose focus on your current tab, helping you stay accountable to your study schedule without tracking your personal data.
Physics: Rotational Dynamics
Discover how much potential study time is lost per year from small daily habits like scrolling or gaming.
We know how easy it is to get distracted. RankLock is designed to help students notice when they drift away from their study tabs, helping to gently recover a portion of this lost time by building awareness and consistency.
Features designed to encourage deep work rather than just tracking the clock.
If you enable Focus Mode, RankLock detects if you minimize the timer or open a new browser tab. It alerts you that you've lost focus, holding you accountable to your session.
Completed study minutes convert into XP. This provides immediate, positive feedback for finishing your daily study blocks, helping you build a consistent habit over time.
You must set a specific topic or task before starting the timer. This simple friction ensures you aren't just starting the clock passively, but have a clear goal in mind.
Review how many hours you actually spent studying versus how many times you got distracted. Use your own data to find your most productive times of the day.
Your score drops if you abandon a session midway. It encourages you to sit through the discomfort of a tough physics problem instead of giving up and closing the tab.
No subscription fees, no locked features, and no intrusive advertisements. RankLock is built as a tool, not a monetization platform.
I built RankLock because I struggled with consistency during competitive exam preparation. I realized that a standard stopwatch wasn't enough—I needed something that held me accountable when I inevitably tried to open YouTube during a difficult revision block.
RankLock started as a personal project. It doesn't use magic algorithms to make you smarter. It just adds a layer of friction to getting distracted, helping you build better discipline.
Students care about tracking, and you should. Here is exactly what RankLock does and doesn't do:
RankLock is free to use. Set up your first study session and see if the extra accountability works for you.
