Frequently Asked Questions

Before you start a studysesh, you can link together all your Apple devices. When you start, studysesh checks which devices are linked and locks the apps and websites you've chosen to block across all the devices.
Remember, you choose the apps that you want to allow and the websites you want to block.
Note that websites will only be blocked on Safari!

We are working on making sure that you can select whole categories of apps to allow, but for now, you should select individual apps and websites.
To host a studysesh with friends, start building your studysesh session as normal. Next to the 'lock and start sesh' button, there is a little button that generates a QR code for your friends to scan so they can join your session.

To join a studysesh with friends, open the studysesh app and tap the 'join' button. Then, scan the QR code your friend has shared with you to join their session.
