Study with friends

Study challenges that make you actually want to study

Set goals with your friends, share an invite link and compete to see who studies more. Lilo turns studying into a game you keep coming back to.

What are study challenges?

A study challenge is a shared goal you take on with friends, like who can study the most hours this week, who can keep the longest streak, or who's first to hit a target. Instead of studying alone, you study together and compete, which makes it far easier to stay motivated and show up every day.

Lilo has four kinds of study challenges built in. Create one in seconds, send an invite link, and everyone’s focus sessions automatically count toward the challenge, no spreadsheets, no manual tracking. You see live rankings update as your friends study, and you all keep each other accountable.

Why study challenges keep you going

First to reach a study-time target wins, a sprint that makes you start studying now, not later.
