I havent tested the app yet properly but one thing right out of the gate doesnt feel right: why a SOFTWARE is requiring steam running to run?
A study one on top of it all?

I try to avoid distractions when im working or studying- and steam is one such distraction, even on not disturb, any updates on it can disrupt my concentrarion or get in the way of fighting procastination impulses- i mean, its a gaming platform and i have a library full of distractions... plus it unecessarily is in the background eating resources, and while light by itself the softwares i constantly use +browser windows that can easily get to dozens of tabs open i frequently reach slowdowns... WITHOUT steam running.

The games with flashcards sound like a novelty gimmick i will probably try a few times- but the main thing that caught my attention was random questions/flashcards (called 'study with your games') wich i was hoping to set on some large timers and just keeping studyX on the background while working (turning on whenever doing repetitive non-crucial tasks).

Why would i need steam open all the time for that?

StudyX is a neat idea, and cheap- but im not sure if id use it at all if it means having to run steam. I looked in the website, maybe buying off steam would do it, but its only sold on steam...

Question: Can i run without steam? If so how?

If not this is a feature request/sugestion.

Id hate to refund for such a small thing, but i really take that separation seriously (gaming/distractions at its own time), i struggle with my ADHD and know myself too well not to trust me with steam luring me out of studying or working needlessly
