A digital hamster that studies with you and holds you accountable. Beat procrastination with empathy, not guilt
About QuillBy
Quillby is your digital study partner—a hamster that lives in your pocket and helps you build focus. Unlike strict productivity apps, Quillby uses empathy and gentle accountability. When you study, he studies with you. When you procrastinate, his digital world reflects that. It’s not about guilt; it’s about having a buddy who cares enough to keep you on track.
How Quillby Works?
Quillby turns accountability into a shared journey with visual feedback, not guilt.

Just a Student, Fighting the Same Battles
Hi, I'm makeryuichii. I built Quillby after failing at every classic study method. Here were my 3 biggest fails:
"My journey with Quillby started in a 3 AM library haze, surrounded by coffee cups and pure panic—my classic 'All-Nighter Crammer' mode. I’d romanticize the grind, but it was just chaos and regret. I learned the hard way that consistency beats chaotic intensity every time.
So, I switched tactics. I became the 'Over-Planner,' crafting beautiful, color-coded timetables in Notion. It felt productive, but it was an illusion. The plan was perfect; my follow-through was zero. I realized planning is useless without accountability.
Finally, as the 'Distraction Expert,' I’d lose hours to a '5-minute' TikTok scroll. Willpower wasn't enough. I needed a system that worked with my psychology, not against it.
That's the moment Quillby was born. I built a partner that focuses on daily, manageable sessions (for the Crammer), gentle nudges from plan to action (for the Planner), and visual, guilt-free reminders to refocus (for the Scroller). It’s the study buddy I needed—and maybe the one you do, too."
Why it Matters?
"Quillby is the app I built for my past self—the overwhelmed student who needed empathy, not another harsh to-do list. If you see yourself in any of these fails, you're who I built this for."
