Study with me, co-working and body doubling streams

Focus together with your community, live.

A Pomodoro timer overlay for OBS and a study group your viewers join. They study, write or work beside you, show up on screen as pets, and get things done together.

What your community gets

Plenty of people come to a stream to get something done, because company makes starting easier. Here is what Yappie gives them.

A place to keep going after the stream

Your study group stays open. Members can focus together any time, not only while you are live.

They see themselves on stream

Their pets show up on your overlay, with a first name only if they allow it.

A reason to come back

The group's daily goal and the constellation you build together are always there to check on tomorrow.

Chat that answers itself

!focus tells latecomers how long is left, and !join brings them in.

Free for every viewer. Groups, friends and focusing together cost nothing.

What you get as a creator

Yappie is free to use. Creators we work with get a little more.

How Yappie fits your stream

It all runs on your own computer, in the desktop app. Use as little or as much as you like.

The pop-out, in OBS

Yappie has a small pop-out window with your pet and the timer. Capture it in OBS with Window Capture and the background is see-through, so it sits right on your scene. It works for any platform you stream to from OBS.

The stream overlay

Prefer a Browser Source? The desktop app serves one on your own computer. It shows your pet, the timer and your plan, like "Focus 2 of 4 · 50/10", and it knows when you are on a break.

Choose the study room layout and your viewers join the picture: the pets of everyone focusing in your group, "N focusing with us now", the group's goal for the day and tonight's stars.

Streamer mode

One switch shows every personal detail in the app as dots, with an eye button to peek when you want to. Other people show up as their pet, and with a first name only if they allow it.
