Focusmate has literally changed my life. And I'm not someone who throws that statement around. It is by far, and by a very large margin, the BEST productivity tool I've ever used. I highly recommend it if you struggle with task initiation and procrastination.

Focusmate has completely transformed my productivity. I started using it during my final year of university, and it was a lifesaver in helping me stay focused and manage my heavy study loads during those last two semesters. Now that I have graduated, I still rely on it daily to maintain my momentum and stay on track with my goals. What makes Focusmate truly special is the incredibly safe, respectful, and wonderful community they have built. Studying independently can feel very isolating, but this platform changes everything. I am also deeply grateful for their supportive scholarship program, which shows how much they care about their members. I cannot recommend it enough!

I was skeptical to do body doubling, an ADHD strategy, with strangers online, but found that the site gives you a proper introduction to using their site before your first interaction and all the other users I've worked with have been friendly. It's a great tool to get work done more efficiently. I appreciate the scholarship they offer to those in need short or long term. The groups available, especially for those who are neurodivergent, are also a great resource.

I love focusmate. I can't emphasize enough how helpful it has been for keeping me moving forward. I especially appreciate all of their positive messaging. Like when you miss a session they ask if you are ok vs penalizing you for missing.

This platform helps me so much to get up in the morning and get started as a freelancer. I was looking for solutions for a long time to make the mornings less draining, never new this is gonna change my life. They even helped me offering a scholarship given I couldn't afford the full price. Truly an outstanding place in the maze of world wide web.

I am amazed by my experience with Focusmate so far. It’s hard for me to sit with a task, particularly with one I’ve been avoiding or dreading. By signing up and committing to a short or longer session, my body relaxes and focuses. Having someone else working on the other end of the internet really allows me to work productively and with positive energy during the session.
