The study session logger writes down what you worked on, when it started, when it stopped and a line about what happened, then keeps every row so you can see the total at the bottom. Subject, start time, end time, notes. That is the whole job.
It is for anyone who ends a Saturday saying they studied all day and cannot name two things they covered. Log the session while it is still fresh, at 11:59pm if that is when you finish, and let the table do the remembering.
Rows stack up for as long as the page is open. You get one running total and one list broken down by subject, so an hour you thought was nothing and a ninety minute block look different on screen instead of blurring together.
Log your study sessions with subject, duration, and notes. Track total study time and see your subject breakdown.
How a session gets recorded
Fill in the subject, the start time, the end time and whatever note you want to keep, then press Log Session. The row lands in a table with three columns: subject, duration and notes. Leave the subject blank and it is logged as General, so nothing is ever thrown away for being untidy. The subject and note boxes clear themselves after each entry; the times stay where they are.
Below the table there is a total study time line, and below that a By Subject list with one entry per subject in the order you first used it. Durations are printed as minutes and seconds, so a long week reads as 225m 00s rather than being quietly converted into hours for you. A session that runs past midnight is handled by adding a day, so 11:30pm to 1:00am counts as an hour and a half instead of a negative number.
Reset wipes the whole log and clears the boxes. There is no export, no edit button and no way to delete a single wrong row.
Three sessions with real numbers
Start with Biology from 14:00 to 15:30. That is 90 minutes, and the duration column reads 90m 00s. Add Math from 18:00 to 18:45, which is 45 minutes and reads 45m 00s. Then a late Chemistry block from 23:30 to 1:00am, which crosses midnight and comes out as another 90m 00s.
The total line now reads 225m 00s, because 90 plus 45 plus 90 is 225 minutes, or three hours and three quarters if you want it in hours. The By Subject list underneath reads Biology: 90m 00s, Math: 45m 00s, Chemistry: 90m 00s, in that order, because that is the order they were logged.
Now log a session with the subject left empty, say 20:00 to 21:00. It joins the table as General with a duration of 60m 00s, the total climbs to 285m 00s, and General appears at the end of the breakdown. Empty subjects are merged together rather than getting their own row each time.
What this tool does not do
- Start and end are not cleared after a successful log, so clicking Log Session twice without touching the times gives you two identical rows and an inflated total. Change at least one of the times between entries.
- The times stay on screen between entries. That is convenient when you are logging a week of 9am starts, and a trap when you forget to move one and double count an hour.
- There is no way to fix or remove one row. A fat-fingered entry means Reset and retyping the whole session, so log carefully.
- Nothing is saved between visits. Refresh the page and the table is back to No sessions logged yet, so copy the totals out if you want a weekly record.
- It counts elapsed minutes, not focus. A session where you spent half of it on your phone logs exactly the same as a clean hour, and the note field is the only place that truth can live.

Frequently asked questions
Why bother logging at all?
Because the memory of a study day is worthless by the next morning. A table that says you gave Biology 90 minutes and Math 45 settles arguments with yourself that willpower cannot, and it takes about ten seconds per entry.
What should I put in the note?
What you covered and what is still shaky. Two lines is plenty: finished question 4 on integrals, still cannot do the substitution ones without looking them up. A note like that tells you exactly where to start tomorrow, which is the only part of the log you will actually read.
How do I see the time per subject?
The By Subject list under the total does it for you. One line per subject, formatted the same minutes and seconds as everything else, in the order the subjects first appeared. If one subject is eating the week and another is getting nothing, this is where it shows.
What happens if I log past midnight?
The duration is worked out as if the next day followed, so a 11:30pm to 1:00am session counts as 90 minutes instead of coming out negative. That is the one piece of cleverness in the timing, and it exists so late sessions are not lost.
Can I keep a permanent record?
Not through the tool. It lives in the page for one visit and Reset clears it from the middle of that visit too. Screenshot the total at the end of the week or copy the numbers into a notes file if you want history.
