Study Spotter

For students who just need a seat

Your study
concierge.

Tell us how you want to study. We'll find the café or library with a seat waiting for you, right now.

Free for students. Starting at CSU East Bay and UC Berkeley.

How it works

Three taps to a good seat.

  1. Say how you want to study

    Quiet focus, coffee and a laptop, or a table for your group. Pick one and you're done.

  2. Get one great pick

    No endless lists. The concierge picks the spot near you with seats free right now, and tells you why.

  3. Log your session

    One tap when you arrive tells everyone how busy it is, and keeps your study streak going.

Everything you check before you leave, in one place.

How busy it is, live

Students report as they arrive, from "plenty of seats" to "full."

Streaks that stick

Every session counts toward your streak, badges and the Spot Regular crown.

Directions your way

One tap to Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze from any spot.
