Questions about studying in Moscow

Is it free to study in Moscow on FocusMiles?

Yes. The timer, the tasks, every room in Moscow and the other cities, the people and the sounds are free, and you do not need an account: pick a critter and a name and you are in.

Is there sound when I study in Moscow?

A little, and it is yours to switch off: recorded rain when it rains, soft typing from the desks around you and a radio that suits the room. The recording on this page is a real street in Moscow.

Can I study with friends or other people in Moscow?

Yes. Rooms like Metro Hall, Stolovaya, Glass Crust Café mix people who are focusing right now with a few friendly bots, so the desk next to yours is rarely empty. Send an invite link and your friend lands in the seat beside yours. There is no camera or microphone: everyone is a little critter, and your task stays private.

How does a study session in Moscow work?

You start a pomodoro (25 minutes of focus and a short break by default, both adjustable), take a seat in one of 5 places in Moscow and work. Every focused minute earns a mile you can spend on hats and colours. Leave your seat and the timer pauses until you sit down again.

Your desk in Moscow is waiting.

It takes about ten seconds to sit down. The first mile is a minute away.
