“It became a part of my daily routine, parang sya yung ignition ng review ko for the day.”
“Thank you very much for implementing the feature I suggested! The pop-up window helps a lot :>>”
“Well i can say that i can focus more on because of the music vibe and it is very friendly to use, kudos sir!”
I built it for my girlfriend's board exam review.
She needed a place to keep her study sessions, subjects, and review schedule together. That became the first version of Bentodoro.
I've kept working on it since then. You can use the timer on its own, or sign in when you want to keep a record of your study days.
