Pick a duration, start studying, and watch a real cup of ice slowly melt as you focus. Quiet motivation you can't ignore — no buzzing, no streaks shaming you. Pomodoro built in, ambient soundscapes, gentle streaks. Free on iOS.

hey PH 👋 i built Ice Study because i was tired of focus apps that buzz, ping, gamify, and shame me into closing them. the whole app is one peaceful visual: a real cup of ice that slowly melts in real time as you work. that's it. no leaderboards, no streak guilt-trips. you stay because watching the cup is calming. how it works: • pick a duration (5–180 min, or built-in pomodoro) • optional ambient soundscape (rain, café, ocean, white noise) • focus mode silences notifications + keeps the screen on • cubes shrink, drop, and dissolve in real time as your session progresses • gentle daily streaks (no shaming if you miss a day) a few things that may interest builders: • rendered with Skia + Reanimated 3 — the cup is a single shared progress value driving every sub-layer (ice cubes, water, drips, condensation), so there are zero React re-renders during a session • 100% local — no account, no cloud, no analytics SDK; your sessions stay on your device free on iOS, Android in review. website: https://icestudy.app try it in your browser (no install): https://icestudy.app/app/ would love feedback, especially from anyone who's tried 5 focus timers and bounced off them all. what would make you actually stick with one?
