Maatram

Maatram is a free screen-time and focus web app for students. Four students at SSVM School of Excellence in Coimbatore, India built it. It puts six tools on one points balance: Focus Timers, App Gate, Study Room, Screen Stats, Leaderboard and Wellness.

Deleting the apps works for about two days. Maatram takes the other route: it keeps the apps where they are and puts a cost, a pause and an audience between you and the feed. Every tool on this site feeds one points balance, so a focused hour and a lost hour both show up in the same number.

App Gate blocks the apps that eat the evening App Gate is the hard-lock screen. Pick a window between 5 and 90 minutes and Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok and the rest stay shut for the whole run. There is no early exit, and opening a social app while the gate is open costs 10 points instead of a lecture. On the Android build the same lock is enforced outside the browser by Maatram Shield, so switching apps does not switch off the rule.

Study Room turns focus into something four other people can see A Study Room holds five students on one room code with their timers synced live. Everyone in the room sees who opened which app, and three strikes puts you out of the session. There is a chat in the room so people can say something before the third strike lands. Rooms survive a page change, so walking to App Gate and back does not drop your seat.

Focus Timers and Screen Stats keep the score honest Focus Timers run Pomodoro at 25 and 5 minutes and Deep Work at 90 and 15. Finishing a session pays points and extends the streak. Screen Stats is where you log daily per-app screen time by hand and watch the week take shape as a chart; beat the week before's daily average (3+ logged days each week) and the bonus lands automatically. The Leaderboard ranks real signed-in students only, so the list starts empty and fills as your friends join.
