Prodpod
Virtual study rooms with friends, free.·prodpod.app
Prodpod is a free browser-based collaborative study platform for students and remote workers. Users join or create virtual focus rooms where everyone's live Pomodoro timer and current subject are visible in real time, with optional webcam accountability, built-in lofi music and ambient sounds, synchronized YouTube playback, and session tracking by subject. It requires no download and no scheduling, aiming to solve the 'starting problem' that solo productivity timers don't address.
