Made for grad students and researchers

A workspace for graduate students and researchers.

People whose work is project-based, mostly solitary, and measured in years rather than tickets.

ScholarHouse.

Five rooms for the rhythms of independent work: focus, schedule, progress, habits, groups.

Built by a PhD student who needed it.

Six tools, one cadence

Everything a research week needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Six tightly-built features instead of forty loose ones. Each one earns its place.

Focus Pomodoro

25-on, 5-off — 8 sessions of deep work

A timer that respects the rhythm of long-form research. Configure session length, track every block, and end the day with a clean accounting of where the hours went.

  • 8 sessions/day default
  • Subtle audio cues
  • Persistent across reloads
AI Weekly Schedule

Llama plans your week around the hours you have

Tell ScholarHouse what's on your plate and how many hours you've got. It builds a realistic week — not a fantasy — and ranks tasks by priority and deadline.

  • Hour-by-hour blocks
  • Reschedules when you skip
  • Honest about overflow
Habit tracker

Read every day. Walk every day. Show up every day.

A weekly grid of small commitments and the streaks they produce. Designed to feel like a journal — not a guilt-trip dashboard.

  • 7-day grids
  • Streak milestones
  • Custom cadences
Study Groups

Six characters to a cohort that actually shows up

Share progress with your lab or writing group — privacy-first. Each member chooses what's public: hours, tasks, or just the streaks.

  • 6-char join codes
  • Per-metric privacy
  • Leaderboard or quiet mode
How it works

Three steps. One realistic week.

01

Tell us your week

Set the hours you're available each day. 6 on Monday, 3 on Tuesday — whatever it actually is.

02

We build the schedule

Llama drafts day-by-day blocks for your tasks, prioritized by deadline and what you marked important.

03

Run the day

Start a Pomodoro, check things off, end the day with a clean record. Tomorrow rebalances itself.
