The goal here is to emulate a claymation process but digitally.
Yeah, it’s completely free and can even be user without internet.
If you want to host your content on their servers though (for a website or sync), that costs money.
Made this night ocean waves render last night using this tutorial.

Forest is an Android and iOS app (and web addon) that lets you track the amount of time you have spent studying.
I just it to track how much time I've spent studying from month-to-month and from subject-to-subject (through using tags). I don't know that there is an open-source alternative but if there is, that would be amazing. I am about to be finished with college for the summer and so will have time to potentially develop an app if there isn't already one.
Requirements:
- timer option
- countdown option
- tags (for specific subjects or activities)
- statistics page with weekly, monthly, and annual views
Nice Features to Have:
- study together option
- number of people currently studying
EDIT: found one - Goodtime (thanks user)
