Frequently asked questions
What Peazehub costs, what it records, and how groups and the leaderboard work. Numbers are the real ones from the product.
What it is
What is Peazehub?
Peazehub is a web-based focus timer that records every session you finish. It combines nine timer presets with streaks, lifetime focus-hour tracking, an activity heatmap, study groups with shared goals, a weekly and monthly leaderboard, and an eight-tier rank ladder. It runs in any browser and installs to a phone home screen as a web app.
Who is Peazehub for?
Students preparing for exams, people with ADHD who need short sessions and a low-friction start, remote and solo workers without external structure, and study groups that want one shared, visible target.
How is Peazehub different from a normal Pomodoro timer?
A plain timer counts down and forgets. Peazehub writes every completed session to a permanent record: your streak, your lifetime focus hours, your heatmap, your rank, your group's goal and the leaderboard. The timer is the input; the record is the product.
Is Peazehub a Pomodoro app?
Pomodoro is one of nine presets. The others are Eisenhower (50/10), the 52/17 rule, the 90-minute work cycle (90/20), Timeboxing (60/15), the 3-hour block (50/10 x3), Rhythm cycle (40/8 x6), Tide method (30/10 x6) and Monk mode (90/30 x2). There is also a stopwatch mode with no fixed length.
Pricing
How much does Peazehub cost?
Peazehub is a single one-time payment of $29.99. There is no subscription and no recurring charge. The price rises to $49.99 on 1 Oct; anyone who buys before then keeps the lower price for good.
Is there a free plan?
No. Every timer on the site runs free without an account, so you can try the timer itself for as long as you like. Recording sessions, streaks, statistics, groups, ranks and leaderboard placement require the one-time $29.99 purchase.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Every purchase has a 30-day refund window. Email support@peazehub.com from the address on the account and the refund is processed with no questions.
Will the mobile apps cost extra?
No. Native iOS and Android apps are in development and are included in the existing one-time purchase. There is no separate app price and no add-on subscription.
Why one-time instead of a subscription?
A focus habit is a multi-year project, and a tool for a multi-year habit should not bill you every month of it. A timer that counts down and writes a row to a database has no ongoing cost that justifies a subscription.
Timer and tracking
Do I need an account to use the timer?
No. Every timer page runs without an account. An account is only needed to save sessions, build a streak, join groups or appear on the leaderboard.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer runs in the background and does not need to stay in the foreground.
What counts as a completed session?
A session counts when the focus interval runs to zero. Abandoned sessions and break time are not recorded. A 25/5 Pomodoro adds 25 minutes to your focus hours, not 30.
Can I add focus time manually?
No. Focus hours can only be earned by completing timed sessions. This is what keeps the leaderboard and ranks honest.
How do streaks work?
A streak is the number of consecutive calendar days with at least one completed session. Length does not matter: a finished 10-minute session keeps the streak alive. It breaks after a full calendar day with no completed session. Your longest-ever streak is stored permanently and never decreases.
What are focus ranks?
Eight tiers keyed on lifetime focus hours: Bronze (0), Silver (26), Gold (51), Platinum (101), Diamond (201), Emerald (501), Legendary (1001) and Mythic (2501). Ranks never go down.
Groups and leaderboard
How do study groups work?
Create a group, share the invite link, and set a shared focus-hour goal for a period. Every completed session by any member counts toward it. Groups work best between three and twenty members. Members do not need to be online at the same time; progress comes from recorded sessions, not attendance.
What is a group challenge?
A time-boxed competition inside a group. Members' focused minutes are ranked against each other for the duration, then the ranking is final. It is the public leaderboard calculation scoped to your group.
How does the leaderboard work?
The leaderboard ranks the top ten accounts by focused minutes across three windows: weekly (resets Monday), monthly (resets on the 1st), and all-time. Only completed sessions count.
Can other people see what I was working on?
No. Group members can see your username, avatar, focused minutes inside the group window and session count. They cannot see task names, notes or your activity outside the group.
Platforms and data
Does Peazehub work on mobile?
Yes. It runs in a mobile browser and installs to the home screen as a web app on iOS and Android. Native apps are in development.
Does Peazehub block websites or apps?
No. Peazehub records what you finish; it does not restrain your phone. If you need a blocker, Forest or Freedom do that and pair fine with Peazehub.
Where is my data stored and can I export it?
Sessions are stored in your account and load on any device you sign in from. Email support@peazehub.com to delete your account and its data.
