Your study rank might reset every month, but badges are forever 💌 Over the next months, we’ll be launching more new badges - keep an eye out to catch them all! Curious which badges you’ve snagged already? Visit your profile to check.

Creating your perfect study environment just got better! Photos are so last season: you can now set YouTube videos as backgrounds in your study rooms✨ Just click the background widget and enter any YouTube link to set the mood.

We’ve partnered up with Tree Nation to make your study sessions as impactful as they are productive! How does it work? It’s simple. While you tackle your goals, Tree Nation tackles their goal: plant trees! The longer you study, the more trees are planted (we’re talking real trees, by the way).

Since we launched DMs two months ago, you’ve sent over 50,000 messages to each other! 🤩 To help you stay even more connected, we’ve just launched group messages - ideally useful for group study sessions.

A lot of you have been sharing your screens on Discord to stay accountable while studying. We’ve just introduced this feature on our platform too, so you can choose whatever way works best for you: cam on, cam off, or screen sharing.

Every month, we’ll be introducing new sets of goals for you to tackle together with users from all over the world - as they say, “a problem shared is a problem halved”! The best part: you can win real prizes!

Say hello to our recently launched blog - Study Together Academy - your new go-to resource for all things productivity, study techniques, mental health, and more! You can expect a mix of bite-sized posts and in-depth articles to help you be your best self both in and outside of class!

You asked for access to your study stats inside our study rooms, and we listened. You can now track your progress in real time using our newly integrated study stats widget - without interrupting your study session! We hope this will allow you to be more focused and motivated.

Whenever you reach a new role, you should be celebrated for your hard work! That’s why we are now throwing tons of confetti at you, and also share your achievement in the group chats. We also enabled emoji reactions in the chats, so others can celebrate together with you.

It is now possible to send private chat messages to your friends and study buddies. Simply click on another user’s name or head to the chat rooms page to get the conversation started. We will also introduce group chats soon, so stay tuned.

Custom sounds and backgrounds are now available in group rooms, so you can create your perfect study environment in any room. In case you want to switch between group and solo study, it is now also possible to hide all other users with just one click.

We’ve made it even easier to get to know your fellow students. Just click on a username in any study room to see a preview of their profile.

Community rooms can now be edited after they have been created. This allows you to adjust the number of participants, and to change the description without having to create a new room. On top of that, room creators can now assign multiple admins who are able to edit rooms, and to kick out disturbing users.

50min or 25min, heavy metal or sounds of silence… create a room on your terms! If none of our existing study rooms suits your needs, create one from scratch. All you have to do is set a name, choose a colour, and share the link with your study buddies. This is perfect for anyone struggling with end-of-year exams or those of you who want to workshop specific subjects in a group. Your room will automatically close when the last participant leaves the room.

No more texting, calling, waiting… Just click “Invite Friends” when you’re in a study room and you can copy-paste a magic link to invite them. The more the merrier - your friends are our friends!

The Study Goals page will help you tackle just that! Break down your work for the day into smaller goals and work on them one by one. Remember to keep your goals realistic and achievable and see how that mountain of work becomes smaller and smaller. Good luck! 💃
