Study smarter, stress less
Pomodoro Study Timer with Breathing Breaks
Study in focused 25-minute blocks with built-in breathing exercise breaks. Exam Stress Buddy times your sessions and guides you through a quick box breathing or 4-7-8 exercise between each block to keep stress low and focus high.
Stress Detection via Wearable HRV
Connect your Garmin, Oura, or Apple Watch and Exam Stress Buddy monitors your HRV in real-time. When it detects rising stress levels, it proactively nudges you to take a break before anxiety spirals — catching stress early, not after the fact.
Guided Anxiety Relief Exercises
Access a library of guided breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and cognitive reframing prompts designed specifically for exam anxiety. From quick 2-minute resets to deeper 10-minute sessions when you need them.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Follow voice-guided progressive muscle relaxation sessions to release physical tension from long study hours. Exam Stress Buddy walks you through each muscle group to melt away neck, shoulder, and back tension.
Study Schedule Optimization
Tell Exam Stress Buddy your exam dates and subjects. It helps you build a realistic study schedule with spaced repetition, break times, and buffer days — reducing last-minute cramming and the panic that comes with it.
Frequently asked questions
How does it detect my stress level?
Exam Stress Buddy reads your heart rate variability (HRV) from connected wearables like Garmin, Oura Ring, or Apple Watch. HRV is a reliable physiological marker of stress — when your HRV drops, it indicates your nervous system is under strain. Exam Stress Buddy detects these changes and proactively suggests a breathing break or relaxation exercise before anxiety builds up.
Can I use it without a wearable?
Yes. Wearable connection is optional. Without a wearable, Exam Stress Buddy still provides the Pomodoro study timer, breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, study schedule planning, and anxiety relief conversations. You simply will not get the automatic HRV-based stress detection nudges.
What breathing exercises are included?
Exam Stress Buddy includes box breathing (4-4-4-4), the 4-7-8 technique, diaphragmatic breathing, alternate nostril breathing, and extended exhale breathing. Each exercise comes with visual and voice guidance, and you can customize the timing to match your comfort level. Sessions range from 2 to 10 minutes.
