Starting is the hard part. Osprey takes you from 0 to 1 in 5 minutes.

Osprey turns your Canvas due dates into small steps and hands you the next one, small enough to start tonight.

Early access opens soon.

We'll open the list once our privacy policy is live.

The Osprey Today screen on an iPhone. Good evening, Maya. One small step tonight. Next step: Copy the essay prompt into your notes, 5 minutes, for a history essay due Monday, with a Start 5 minutes button.

From a due date to a started step

  1. The Plan tab, synced from Canvas 12 minutes ago: the week across the top and today’s steps, each with its length in minutes.

    Paste your Canvas link.

    Osprey reads your due dates and breaks each assignment into four to seven small steps, scheduled back from the day it is due.

  2. The next step card on the Today screen: Copy the essay prompt into your notes, 5 minutes, history essay due Monday, with a Start 5 minutes button.

    See one small step.

    Today shows the next thing to do, not the whole list. The first step of anything takes five minutes or less.

  3. A study session in progress: 2:41 left of 5:00, a gold chip reading +20 XP for starting, and a Mark step done button.

    Start for five minutes.

    The timer keeps running when you leave the app. Starting earns 20 XP, and ending early still counts as a start.

Study next to your friends

Invite friends with your own link and see who is studying right now, on what, and for how long. Rooms, for your school or for anyone, show first names and timers only: no chat, no video, nothing to perform. A weekly board counts XP among friends, and it starts over every week.

The Friends tab: an invite link, two friends studying now with their minutes so far, and this week’s XP board among friends.
