FocusMate is a great tool. I don't wright alot of reviews but I love this service. You should definitely try it out especially if you're a procrastinator or just can't get yourself to focus. There's no risk in signing up and giving it a go. It's got a great culture and people too!

Life changing - oh my god I get so much more work done when I book a focusmate session to do it during.

I love this productivity tool that helps you get the most important work done. The accountability aspect is what I appreciate the most because I work remotely and usually by myself.

Focusmate is helping me revamp my life during a superbly stressful phase. So grateful for the platform, ease of use and affordability! 75 focus sessions in and everyone I have focused with has been great to focus with! I look forward to using it for all types of tasks and activities that are done just a little more smoothly with somebody else doing their own focus thing in the space. So so grateful I was introduced to this resource. 5 stars plus!

This is such a useful tool - its a virtual form of body doubling but it seems to work as well for as having someone around in real life - sometimes better. Its very straightforward to use, all of the people I have met have been pleasant and focused on their own tasks - and I really enjoy getting these miniscule windows in to other peoples lives, from all around the world, every gender and all different ages.

Super helpful app. Pricing seems fair to me and I used it for more than four weeks now.

I have lots of motivation, but take little action takes place after a busy week. I make up excuses or say I'm too tired or I'll do it later and that is until I found, Focusmate. I have got so much done in one week it's amazing. All the jobs I avoided. I managed to sort out. The hidden items in the kitchen cupboards that have never seen the light off day ,finally come out. It's now cleaned out and organised. The 25 minute blocks for me are perfect. It's not to overwhelming, but enough to see progress. I like to do 2 x 25 minute sessions with a break in-between. last Sunday I did three as i just wanted to keep the momentum going. The progress you start to see and the support from a session encourages you to book more sessions. One or two sessions per day allows you to progress through the week and stops you sliding back to a mess again. The sessions themselves have a lovely balance of being well structured ,making it very productive, but at the same time, feel you have genuine support from your partner during the session. You are there to support one another and only want the best for each other. So the communication is always positive. When I did my first session I was instantly hooked, because I had actually set time for a particular task, so no distractions. just work. The clock keeps you focused and someone being there, stops you side tracking to social media and other distractions. The fact that you have 24/7 sessions available and using your mobile phone anywhere and get the support for getting your jobs done. There are no excuses. Would I suggest other people to try it? Absolutely. Try it first before deciding if its for you. I said at the start of 2025 it was going to be a good year for me, as I wrote in a new, fresh diary, Little did I expect this to be part of 2025. Amazing. Try and book a session right now and see how you get on. Good Luck.
