Focusmate is my new go-to app for days when I’m feeling a little off or unmotivated. Every user I’ve worked with has been encouraging, and I’ve met some really diverse and interesting people along the way. I also love having the option to choose between 25-, 50-, and 75-minute sessions. The simplicity of the app is what makes it so powerful. It isn’t overly flashy, but the community is genuinely supportive. People help with onboarding and support one another, which makes getting started feel easy and seamless. The pricing is fair, and there’s a great free version too. Overall, this app works perfectly for what I need it to do—body-doubling encouragement right when I need it.

It works for me like nothing else!! Over the years I have tried every time management + productivity tip out there... after an ADHD diagnosis a year ago, it's starting to make sense why the traditional advice just doesn't do it for me consistently. After the FIRST session on this platform I knew this was it for me!! The closest I've come to staying this on-track, in focused work sessions, is with Ritalin. And I'm not making any medical claims of course but this genuinely works BETTER for me than that. 👀 There's something about having to tell a total stranger whether you worked on what you said you would. Seeing their focused expression in a moment of my own boredom or desire to wiggle out of the rest of the time. It's gentle and positive accountability. I will keep using this app as long as they let me!!!

The best part is easily getting put on screen with somebody to work together. It keeps you focused and makes it easy to get work done.
