EstudyLog vs Flat Tomato

EstudyLog is a study tracker and timer for students who want to organize coursework and review their study habits. Sessions connect to courses, topics, notes, one of four session types, and a focus rating from 1 to 5. The timer can be paused and resumed. Insights cover peak study hours, focus by weekday, personal records, study volume, and a calendar showing daily totals and streaks. Users can enter course topics manually or paste a syllabus to extract topics, then link them to sessions. An optional timetable import reads courses, days, times, and locations from a screenshot; it allows two imports per 60 days. Optional connections include device calendar sync, HomeKit and Govee lights, and Discord. Offline sessions queue on the device until a network connection returns. The free plan has limited tracking. Monthly service costs $3.99 a month, or annual service costs $19.99 a year; both include unlimited sessions, up to 20 courses, and all current features. EstudyLog lists Android, iOS, and macOS, though availability varies by country or region.

Flat Tomato is a time-management application for iOS and macOS centered on a timer for reducing distractions and tracking time spent on activities. A calendar records tasks and helps estimate the effort required for them, while progress statistics provide a way to review activity over time. Users can choose among color themes. On iOS, Flat Tomato supports Todoist and Evernote integrations and Apple Watch complications. The iOS version is a free download with in-app purchases. Listed premium choices are $0.99 a month or $2.49 a year. The Mac app costs 2.99 USD once and requires macOS 10.12 or later; a Perpetual Pro Upgrade is listed at 7.99 USD once.
