THD Room Finder Open app
New: focus at home

Find a free room. See how long it stays free.

Every teaching room at THD Deggendorf, straight from the official timetable, sorted by how long it stays free. Then study there, alone or with friends, or in the same rhythm at home.

Why use it

Stop trying doors

On a normal weekday, around a hundred teaching rooms stand empty for hours. The app shows you which ones, and for how long, before you walk over.

Know before you walk

Free for 10 hours, or until the 14:00 lecture. The rooms that stay free longest come first.

Plan ahead

Tomorrow at 9 or any time this week. Before the doors open, see what will be free.

Just open it

No account, no ads, nothing to install. Free and open source.

How it works

From the corridor to a desk in three steps

No more walking the corridors trying doors. The app knows every room's timetable and tells you how long it stays free.

Focus sessions

A rhythm that fits your day

Focus blocks and breaks, like Forest or a Pomodoro timer, right where you study.

  • Deep50/10
  • Pomodoro25/5 · default
  • Lecture90/15
  • Open∞
  • Custom15–120
  • Keeps going on a locked phone

    In the Android app, a lock-screen notification counts down and tells you when the break is over.

  • Breaks never count

    After each break you tap Start block. If you don't, the session ends at the last block you actually did.

  • Ends before the next lecture

    Blocks are planned around the room's timetable, so you never end up in the middle of a lecture.

Focus at home

No room? Focus at home

The same rhythm of blocks and breaks, just without a room. The Focus tab starts it in one tap and holds whatever is running, at home or on campus.

  • Breaks you can hear

    Coffee pours when a break starts, and three bright dings call you back. Pick Coffee break, Jingle or Chimes, for home and for campus, or keep your phone's own sound.

  • Stays on your phone

    Nobody sees a session at home. Signed in, only the finished minutes count in your focus graph.

  • Weekends count

    A weekend or holiday with focus now adds to your streak. Rest days without focus only pause it.

Study together

One link for the group chat

Pick a time the room is free, choose the seats and send the link. Friends take a seat with an email code, no app needed.

  • Start in step

    At the time, everyone starts focus in the same rhythm, so breaks line up. Already focusing? Invite people into the session you're running.

  • Private, or with your batch

    Private, others only see that the room is taken, never by whom. Public, your batch sees where you are and can join.

  • Never a booking

    The app doesn't reserve rooms. If a lecture shows up, the study table warns you and suggests a free room.

Student groups

Your group, your page, your gatherings

Clubs and initiatives get their own page and invite people to game nights, talks and big study sessions. This is how a group gets in:

  1. 1

    Register in the app

    Profile → Register your group, with the group's public details: name, short name, website.

  2. 2

    Checked in the open

    One proof in the public registry, checked by a THD AI member who isn't you. The tag can't be bought.

  3. 3

    Host gatherings

    In rooms THD approved for you. People reply Going, Maybe or Can't; you see how many to plan for, never email addresses.

Privacy

Your focus time is yours

No account needed

Finding rooms and focus sessions work without signing in. You only need a study profile for your batch. The web app counts page visits without cookies; invite links are never recorded.

Your graph, on your devices

Without an account, your focus history never leaves your phone. Signed in, only dates and minutes sync between your devices; rooms stay on the device.

Straight from THabella

Rooms and timetables come from THD's public scheduling system. If it's ever down, rooms stay listed and focus still starts.

FAQ

Good questions

Is this an official THD app?

No. It's a student project. It uses the public room and timetable data from THabella, but the university doesn't run it.

How accurate is "free"?

As accurate as the timetable: a room counts as free when nothing is booked in it right now. Some rooms are still locked; the app marks those "may be locked".

Can I book a room?

No. The app shows free rooms and lets you invite people, but it never reserves a room. Official bookings go through THD.

Do I need an account?

No. Without one, everything runs on your device. An email code is enough to take a seat at a study table; you only need a study profile to claim rooms and study with your batch.

Can others see where I study?

Only if you want them to. Without a study profile nobody sees anything. With one, a private session only shows "taken"; a public one shows your batch the room, and your name only if you turn it on.

Can I use it on my phone and laptop?

Yes. Signed in, your focus graph is the same on both, and a session running on your phone shows on your laptop too, where you can start the next block or end it.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Rooms and the day's timetable are cached, and a focus session keeps running without a connection. If THD's timetable itself is down, the app lists rooms as "availability unknown" instead of guessing.
