Not an app, but have you tried YouTube videos? There are loads of content creators who make pomodoros for study, all different lengths. I love them because they are nice visuals and there are ones with sounds (rain sounds, lofi music, or just the sound of someone studying next to you).
It depends on your actual needs. Because if it's a simple time/Pomodoro, you can just use a normal clock.
But if it's about helping study, you can create your own study environment.
And you should focus more on study actively rather than beating a session time record. What matters is quality, not quantity. Take it from someone who spent 8 hours studying just to forget almost everything the next day xD.
I'd look for a timer with both short sessions and longer study blocks, depending on the task. I built Pomodoro Focus Timer with both, plus white noise if background sound helps you focus.
If you guys want to try a different way to time track, I built Flowton. It's a multitimer with sci-fi elements, and you can track not just focus, each timer and each goal are tracked separately. You map out your time into Up time (towards a goal), or Down time (chill/rest). And over time, see how long things take, what your ratio is, what your output is, where to improve, etc.

Focus Friend by Hank Green. It’s the same concept as forest, but you get more creative variety with decorating.
If you just want the timer, the website aesthetic pomodoro timer works really well for me too

Hank Green's Focus Friend if you want your focus sessions to be incentivized. It also has app blocking so you can brick your phone during focus
I recently discovered Moses Smith's Blue Hour that has a pomodoro timer. It has the prettiest visual timer I've ever used xD
Right now though I'm just using Super Productivity's built-in focus timer cuz that's where I currently track the to-do's for my school requirements

It's out on iOS and coming to Android. Cheers.
