What Metrum is
Metrum is a study planner for students that combines study cycles, syllabus tracking, focus sessions, and analytics across web and iPhone. Cycles rotate among subjects with individual weights, while the app tracks progress and what comes next. Students can load an exam syllabus and mark topics as theory, revision, or mastered. Sessions can be timed or logged manually and are kept in history. The iPhone timer offers Pomodoro and free-timer sessions with rain, café, or forest audio. Analytics compare study hours with a daily goal and show how time is divided among subjects. Study groups can share a syllabus and show who is studying at the moment. Sessions, cycles, and statistics sync between web and iPhone under one account. The free plan includes one study cycle and one owned group of up to five members. Pro costs $4.99 a month or US$39.99 per year; it removes cycle and group limits and adds broader analytics and export. The iPhone beta is free and requires iOS 26 and TestFlight.
