Focusmate has been a game-changer for me. Just knowing someone else is working alongside me keeps me accountable and focused. It’s simple, effective, and makes big tasks feel less overwhelming. I honestly get more done in one session than I do in hours on my own.

Focusmate is such a great concept. The UI is really nice and the varying lengths for meetings are great. I am especially productive when I use Focusmate.

Gamechanger! I have been using Focusmate for about 18 months. Whenever I don't feel motivated to sit at my desk, which is literally in the next room to me, I book a session. Not only does this give me the commitment needed to do some work, but I also always carry on working for the next few hours. Even if it's tidying my desk!!

I am so grateful for Focusmate! I experience symptoms of severe adult ADHD and was finding it very difficult to concentrate, initiate tasks, and stay on track, despite my constant efforts to do so. It was very frustrating and mentally draining. I also experience chronic health issues as well which make sustained efforts challenging. Though I am new to the platform, Focusmate has helped me significantly with following through on tasks that I have planned such as writing emails, planning household tasks, studying online, as well as other tasks. My virtual working partners so far have been friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive, and answered questions that I had. I really appreciate Focusmate and would recommend it to anyone, even those without concentration challenges, as a way to become more productive and have fun while doing so!

I have used Focusmate for all sorts of projects: novel writing, screenplays, "day job" work reports, even tidying up my home. It's a platform that has worked well with VERY few problems for the 5 years I've been a member. The "plus" membership is affordable, and it works as-advertised every time! A GREAT product.

Every ADHDer should know about Focusmate! I wish I’d known about it sooner. It’s perfect for when you wish you had a study buddy or a friend to help keep you company while you clean your apartment. It’s the built in external accountability and support to help you accomplish the things you want to do.

Focusmate is very helpful. I stumbled upon it a few years ago and used it off and on. Now, I'm using it daily. It really helps me to structure my day and to have an "appointment" to help me be accountable with my time. They offer a free option, but I have the paid version so I can use unlimited sessions. It is well worth it, and I have only had positive experiences with it.

Focusmate is a miracle and has helped me to stay focused and take breaks and stay on task to complete assignments. The people have also encouraged me.
