I discovered Focusmate at the beginning of grad school and it has been invaluable! Super easy to use and very effective for body doubling to help me focus on tasks. I love that you can choose from 3 session lengths. As soon as I found out that they did not require your credit card info to use it unless you upgrade, I was sold. That is how much they trust their concept to sell itself. So thankful for this tool!

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Focusmate team. This platform has allowed me to connect with incredible professionals from diverse backgrounds worldwide. Over the years, I’ve gained so much both personally and professionally, and I’ve even developed lasting friendships. It’s a wonderful experience that goes far beyond simple co-working.

I needed to assemble my business's tax information for my accountant. It was a daunting task, which I could have easily put off until April if not for a February deadline my accountant gave me. I put this off day after day and my anxiety exponentially mounted. I then discovered Focusmate. After 6 50-minute sessions, I was done. Amazing. I now use Focusmate on a daily basis.

Focusmate has made me better at my job, has made it possible for me to work in the home office I set up, finally, and not have to be in a cafe that always closes to early (I'm sure my barista misses me). Some day it takes the place of Adderall. I love the people in it too, it is amazing to be dealing with the pressure of work but working online with people who 100% understand that I need to verbalize my whole to do list if I'm going to do anything in the next hour. Group work online didn't work for me but this did!

I am so grateful that I found focusmate. Cuz one months ago I found it was so hard to start preparing for my exam and now I already finished over 60 sessions which means a lot to me. It helped me build up my confidence, help me visualised my time. I highly recommend it if you have ADHD or difficulty managing time!

I've been using Focusmate since 2023, both the free and paid versions, and it is such a helpful resource. When I'm procrastinating and just can't get myself going or when I'm doing a task that I know is not going to be enjoyable even after I get started, the folks on Focusmate help. I usually use it for reading, studying, writing, and creating presentations, but I just wrapped up a session during which I cleaned my oven (I was inspired by a previous session when my partner cleaned her apartment while I was studying). Love meeting people from all around the world, even briefly. The global element is what makes the platform so reliable, too. (It's always someone's productive time somewhere!) The platform can't control people who flake, but very few do in my experience, and when they do Focusmate finds you another partner quickly.

Just saved my routine and stopped my procrastination once and for all. Besides, I can meet new people and practice my english. I hardly recommend it!
