What it is

What Pinkoa does

Three free tools that open in any browser.

Study timer
Focus rounds and breaks you can set yourself, a round counter for the day and optional calm background sounds. Koa studies along.
Open the timer
Classroom Mode
One big timer for the projector, a weekly class goal and short brain-break cards between rounds.
Open Classroom Mode
Study Pact
Students promise themselves a few focus rounds a day, alone or with a study buddy, and tick them off.
See the Study Pact
Three languages
English, German and Finnish. The site switches language in the top bar.
All free timers

Privacy

No accounts, no student data

No login, no sign-up. Students open the page and start.
Nothing about students is collected. Timer settings, the Study Pact and Classroom Mode are saved only in the browser on that device (local storage). We never receive them.
No ads in the timer, and Classroom Mode loads no Google Fonts or third-party scripts.
Like every page of our shop, pinkoa.com may show a cookie banner. Choosing "Decline" keeps only strictly necessary cookies.

In the library and the classroom

Works on school devices

Nothing to install
Runs in any up-to-date browser on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, phones and library PCs. No app, no plug-in, no account.
Made for projectors
Classroom Mode shows one big timer. Press F for full screen and Space to start; a "Dark board" option helps in bright rooms.
Accessibility
Buttons have text labels; the timer status is announced to screen readers without reading out every second; Classroom Mode can be used with the keyboard (Space, F, N) and respects the "reduce motion" setting; sound is off until you switch it on. We have not had a formal WCAG audit yet. Found a barrier? Tell us and we fix it.
Free forever
The timer, Classroom Mode and the Study Pact stay free, with no paywall and no upsell inside the tools. Pinkoa pays for itself through an optional shop with printables and merch.
