## Key features

- **Task timers and tags:** Time solo or group sessions, tag each activity by name and color, and set goals for specific tasks.
- **Live study rooms:** Join public study rooms to work alongside other users, or use private rooms with members of your groups.
- **Stats and milestones:** Review time spent by day, week and month, and collect badges for milestones. History is limited to 30 days on the free plan.
- **Break tracking and multitask mode:** Breaks are logged separately from work time. Multitask mode keeps the timer running while you open another app.
- **Background music:** A selection of lofi tracks and sounds is free; additional tracks need Premium.
- **App locking on Android:** Focus Lock mode in the Android app locks distracting apps during a session. On iPhone this lives in a separate app, Focus Lock.

## Good for

- Students who want a study timer with some company in the room
- People who want to log hours by activity over weeks and months
- Friend groups that compare weekly progress

## Worth knowing

- Mobile only: the pages list iOS and Android apps and no desktop or web version.
- The free plan allows one break per session and timers up to 40 minutes; custom pomodoro timers need a subscription.
- App hiding on iPhone was moved to a separate app, Focus Lock; the Flipd iOS app no longer does it.
- Prices on the page are in USD and may differ in your region or app store.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Flipd is a phone app that times study sessions, tags them by activity and puts you in public study rooms. The free plan stops at timers of 40 minutes and one break per session, and it is mobile only, with iPhone app blocking moved into a separate app.

- **Value for money: C.** Premium is $5.99 a month or $42.99 a year, about $3.58 a month, against a $3.99 middle in focus apps. Ordinary money, though the monthly price is well above the middle.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Free Basic gives 1 break per session, 30 days of stats, 1 custom reminder and timers up to 40 minutes. You will hit those limits fast, and there is no trial.
- **Features: C.** Task timers, tags, study rooms, group stats and break tracking. The listing's own gap: iPhone app locking lives in a separate Focus Lock app, and pomodoro timers need a subscription.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Rooms, groups, tags and goals all need setting up, so it takes a little more than opening and starting.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** iOS and Android only. No web or desktop version, and no integrations listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Flipd you could make: Pomodoro timer and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 64 of the 69 other focus apps grade higher. It costs $42.99 a year.

- You could make: Pomodoro timer and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A library of sound you would have to license.
- You could not: A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- You could not: Blocking that reaches every browser and app and is hard to switch off.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
