Metrum
Metrum combines study cycles, syllabus tracking, focus sessions, and analytics for students across its web app and iPhone app. Study cycles rotate through subjects with individual weights, while the service tracks progress and what comes next. Users can load an exam syllabus and mark topics as theory, revision, or mastered. Sessions can be timed or logged by hand and saved to history; the iPhone timer offers Pomodoro and free-timer modes with rain, café, or forest audio. Analytics compare study hours with a daily goal and show time by subject. Study groups let users share a syllabus with friends and see who is studying. Sessions, cycles, and stats sync between web and iPhone under one account. The free plan includes one study cycle and one owned group of up to five members. Pro costs $4.99 a month or US$39.99 per year and adds unlimited cycles and groups, broader analytics periods, and export. The iPhone beta is free during beta but requires iOS 26 and Apple's TestFlight app.
