YPT - Yeolpumta

YPT - Yeolpumta is a study planner and timer that organizes work by subject while adding group accountability. It suits students who want friends, rankings, and progress views alongside focus tools. Choose it for a socially motivated study routine; choose elsewhere if you want only a private, lightweight timer.

Overview

YPT treats study time as a record of both what you did and how consistently you did it. Sessions can be assigned to subjects, supported by a to-do list, and reviewed in a daily planning view. Study groups add visibility into friends’ status and activity, so the app is aimed at learners who gain momentum from a shared routine rather than users who want an isolated stopwatch.

The free download lowers the barrier to trying that approach, but it includes advertising and in-app purchases. Premium options are sold in Korean won through the Korean App Store, while the app itself is offered on iOS, Android, and macOS.

Key features

Subject tracking and planning

Tracking by subject makes a study total more useful than one undifferentiated number: you can see where time went and compare it with your priorities. The to-do list keeps tasks alongside those records. YPT’s 10-minute planner brings daily logs and the day’s task list into one review, giving users a short, repeatable check-in rather than requiring a separate planning workflow.

Focus controls

During a focus session, YPT can block other apps. That is a practical defense against phone interruptions and makes the app more suitable for users who need an enforced focus period than for someone who is already disciplined about notifications and switching.

Groups, rankings, and statistics

Users can create study groups, check friends’ status, and see their study activity. Rankings within a study category add a competitive element, while visualizations cover daily, weekly, and monthly study totals. Together, these features provide several ways to spot consistency or slippage. They are a meaningful advantage for students who respond to accountability, but unnecessary—and potentially distracting—for people who prefer private progress without comparison.

Wear OS support

An in-app purchase adds Wear OS support on Galaxy Watch 4 and later. The watch feature measures online and offline study time, which is useful if you want to record sessions without keeping the phone at hand. It is an extra cost and limited to the stated Galaxy Watch generation, so it should not be treated as part of the basic free experience.

Privacy and support

Google Play states that data is encrypted in transit and that users can request deletion. It also says the app may collect and share location, personal information, and four other data types; handling can vary by use, region, and age. Support is provided at [email protected]. Pallo Inc. is identified as the maker, with an address in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

Pricing

The free tier is the sensible starting point, but ads remain part of that experience and Wear OS requires a separate purchase. The paid choices differ mainly by billing term and listed monthly price; the published plans do not state additional quotas or seat limits. Because prices are presented in Korean won on the Korean App Store, shoppers elsewhere should check the amount shown for their storefront before committing.

Platforms

YPT supports iOS, Android, and macOS. The maker’s site links to the App Store and Google Play for downloads. Wear OS tracking is an add-on for Galaxy Watch 4 and later rather than a general watch entitlement.

Who it's for

Choose YPT if you are a student who wants subject-level records, a daily task review, app blocking, and friends’ activity in one routine. It is especially well matched to study groups or individuals who find rankings and visible progress motivating. Look elsewhere if you need a bare timer, object to advertising, or do not want social comparison to shape your study habits.

Verdict
