Please, try Focusmate. Meet this amazing community and then let me know how it went. You won't regret it.

Would highly recommend this platform for anyone who needs to get stuff done but struggles to stay focused! As a solopreneur, this has helped me get so much focused work done. Having an accountability focus partner on demand is fantastic.

This website is vital to my productivity. Ever since I started using this website I've had the power to pursue the things I am interested in and push through the tough parts. The wellbeing resulting from this new ability has changed every other area of my life for the better. I would urge everyone to at least try this website once. I saw immediate benefits to my focus.

Focusmate has been the first real remedy to my ADHD that works. It eliminates 80% of all distraction! I use it from day til night, from making food and household tasks to building websites and preparing DJ sets. Absolutely amazing, one of the most life-changing tools I hjave ever used in my life.

Sooooooo nice to have Focusmate! I struggle to focus on my study before even though I sat at my desk all day.
Now! I can focus on my work even more than 7 hours a day! I really love it! So happy to meet Focusmate!

Highly recommended, great for productive work and outcome.

This great platform saved my life ❤️.

Its amazing! It makes it so easy to have accountability for my Board exam prep. It has transformed how I engage with tasks bc there is literally a body double I am accountable for. Highly recommend

Once you get in the groove, this tool is absolutely life changing. Especially if you are neurodivergent.

Focusmate has been a game-changer for me. Like so many others, I have ADHD, and I also work from home and am self-employed, so sometimes just sitting down at my desk can feel like a monumental (insurmountable) task; Focusmate gets me in my chair at a specific time with a list of things I need to do (even if the thing I need to do is spend 20 minutes figuring out what I need to do with the rest of my day!). Once I am "in the zone," I'm good, but getting there has been an uphill battle, and Focusmate solves that problem for me.

I also find that, once I've told my session partner what I plan to do, the accountability check-in at the end is all I need to get me to do it (this is particularly true with sending emails and/or making calls that I Just. Don't. Want. To. Do!).

Not only that, but the people are SO NICE! I feel like I'm in a warm community of people who "get it," and everyone is so happy to congratulate one another at the end of a session, even (especially?) for those tasks that ought to have been easy (phone calls, etc.) that I was avoiding for no good reason and that are almost embarrassing to admit need to get done.

50+ sessions in, I'm incredibly grateful to the friend who suggested it for me, and I am paying it forward to you!

Focusmate is an incredible company. It really feels like they are actually about building community and a helpful service at a reasonable price. Having the opportunity to meet with an incredible human at any hour of the day, and work together, make progress, and live a moment of life together is just so sweet. I've met so many incredible people. It's such a special service. Thank you Focusmate!

I used to struggle a lot with procrastination, and staying consistent felt really hard. But Focusmate has honestly changed that for me.

It keeps me accountable and helps me actually get things done to the point where using it has become a habit I genuinely rely on. I’m now able to stay focused and productive without constantly putting things off.

I also love that they offer student scholarships, which makes it more accessible. Definitely check it out it’s absolutely worth it.

One of the best ways to keep your focus intact and not feel overwhelmed when you’re trying to self motivate.
Amazing work done by the team.

I had a great experience with the app. I was struggling with focus issues. since I knew this Focusmateit helped me a lot with that. If you have distraction issues then I highly recommend you.

For my as a freelancer focusmate was life-changing. Great community!

Je suis française et j'ai découvert ce site pour me mettre à travailler et franchement après un essais de plusieurs semaines, je n'ai pas hésité à prendre un abonnement. Le meilleure investissement que j'ai pu faire ces derniers temps, je suis tellement plus productive.

Merci Focusmate !

I have been using Focusmate for 5 years, and I absolutely love the platform. Over the last 5 years, the team has been making gradual updates and improvements to the platform which has only made my user experience better! Whether I am working on a project for work, packing for a move, or studying for a certification, Focusmate is always there for me!

Review: How Focusmate Changed the Game for My Neurodivergent Brain
I’ll be honest: when I first heard about Focusmate, I was skeptical. As someone who is neurodivergent, I didn't see how sitting on a call with a stranger would help. I eventually gave it a shot, and I am genuinely blown away by how effective it is. It taps into a perfect balance that "study dates" with friends usually lack.

Why It Actually Works
The "Stranger" Advantage: When you work with friends, it’s easy to spend 90% of the time chatting. With Focusmate, everyone is incredibly kind, but because you don’t know them, there’s no social pressure to over-talk. You check in at the start, work in silence, and wrap up at the end.

The Power of Body Doubling: Having someone virtually "work alongside you" is a massive productivity booster. I’ve seen people use it for everything—coding, yoga, cleaning, or administrative tasks.

External Accountability: It helps me keep "appointments with myself." Before Focusmate, my schedule was just a suggestion. Now, knowing someone is waiting for me on the other side of that camera forces me to actually show up and start.

Value and Flexibility
The pricing is excellent. Even at the highest tier, you can get unlimited sessions for under £100 a year, which is a steal for the consistency it provides. They also offer free sessions every week for those who want to test the waters. I personally find the 75-minute sessions to be the "sweet spot" for deep work.

Room for Improvement
While I think the platform is already great (and cheap enough that a student discount isn't even necessary), there are a couple of features I’d love to see:

Integrated To-Do Lists: A shared or personal checklist within the session UI so you can visually track your goals with your partner.

Better Milestone Tracking: A way to log what you’ve accomplished during those appointments.

Conclusion: If you struggle to stay consistent or find it hard to start tasks, I cannot recommend Focusmate enough. It’s transformed how I schedule my life and actually get things done.

What a friendly, kind, and useful idea! I love Focusmate, and though a relatively new user, I am amazed at the boost in productivity it has already brought to my life. The concept is simple: work with focussed and friendly others. Because of the commitment involved, it helps me stay on track and meet my (self-employment) work commitments. Plus it's been sweet to meet folks from all over the world.
