procrastination
pay rent.
Study Gate intercepts the sites you lose hours to and won't open them until you've reviewed what you're trying to learn. The block isn't a punishment. It uses your own coursework and spaced repetition to bring back what you might forget.

Why does mitosis produce two genetically identical daughter cells?
Spot on. You nailed the link between replication and equal segregation.
Every blocker turns the urge to scroll into a roadblock. But that urge can be a teachable moment because your hand is already moving. We use that moment instead of wasting it.
Study Gate turns procrastination into a 60-second review of your material. Spaced repetition chooses what you review. Turning it off does not buy freedom. It costs you what you were trying to learn. Unlike typing and math unlockers, this review is useful.
Just four simple steps.
- 01
Add your material
Paste notes or add PDFs, lecture slides, or photos of handwritten pages. Gemini turns them into questions.
- 02
Block your time-sinks
YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, whatever quietly eats your hours.
- 03
Review before you enter
Open a blocked site and first review the cards that are due.
- 04
Learn
Spaced repetition chooses the best day to show each card again.
