Focusmate Anmeldelser 

This is absolutely brilliant. I've always found that I will do anything for someone else, but nothing for myself. So knowing I have an appointment ensures I get out if bed and stay out of bed. I do chores to the end and don't get distracted by Facebook or loss of focus.

For someone who can procrastinate HARD, this is a life and deadline saver. Absolutely no negative interactions so far, and for those who might feel camera or video shy, there are always options.

It's a great idea and the fact that you're speaking with someone does make you feel more focused on what you are trying to do. However, I've only used it 3 times and in all those times I found that the other person seems like they can't be asked to do this with me. I was hoping for a bit more enthusiasm but it actually made me feel more down after seeing their faces. I don't know why they bother using this if they can't be asked to speak with the other person. I think I would like to do something like this with friends instead. Some sort of interest in what the other person is working on would be nice. Maybe it's just in the UK. I will try to pair up with people from other countries to see what they're like.

I really enjoying use focusmate! Since day one my productivity go to the roof. I think this body doubling methods is really effective as it holds you accountable for other person.

If you can't sit down and work, you need this. I had undiagnosed ADHD for 25+ years. I always thought people functioned like the way I did - boy was I wrong. Middle school, high school, college - things were fine because they have a structure/system of accountability but in real life, you face consequences.

I had tried everything, and quite frankly, I was tired and went into the spiral of self-doubt: "maybe I'm just dumb" - then CHATGPT recommended focusmate. And everything changed. I can actually sit still and work now. Yeah, felt intimidating at first but I got used to body-doubling after a couple of sessions. Would highly highly recommend this.

Blesséd Dialekt Notice
I write when I kan, when I'm allowed, in Blesséd Dialekt. See EnoughIsEnuf.org for why⁵. While I'm a native American speaker who can write as well as the vast number, I find the langauge inkredibly⁵ suboptimal, espeshially on harmless emfasis and spelling, espeshially for learners like children and nonnatives struggling to learn our langauge.

It's so helpful to work with others everywhere and anywhere kolaboratively⁵. I appresiate and could not work as fast without all the Hippokratik hints I receive. I hope I'm returning the favor suffishiently in kind and that I'm not falling too far short of kalmunity⁵ hopes and burning needs; I know I kan be hard to work with on kritikal sprints given how divergent I sometimes get switching from prevention to emergensy⁵ and back again.

While I don't believe I have attention defisit, I do have breadth-first lantern or floodlight kuriosity⁵ akross a krushing number of topiks, and body doubling on Focusmate or in the real world helps konsentrate me into 70m+ of spotlight attention mode when I'm working, and I argue it kan help huge numbers of people who aren't in attention defisit but just have too much responsibility⁵ stay on task even when attention starts to switch, flit, or flag between priorities.

So many of the other members I fase use Focusmate for anything from kreative work to household chores, and along the way it forses me to deklare a konsentration and not switch, in the overwhelming mix of tasks I have, from one kritikal priority⁵ to another until each reaches some better definition of kompletely⁵ done.
I really appresiate this kalmunity⁵ and I'll keep trying to keep up and do my part.

The best app to stay focused and consistent. I adore the community.

I’ve been a focus mate customer for 5 years.

Now I have issues with electricity ⚡️ due to the war. And I’m so blessed that focusmate team have understood me and gifted me a scholarship 💔❤️

Focusmate is more than a productivity tool. The simple experience of having an accountability buddy on the other side of the screen made me feel less alone and gave me a sense of community when I really needed it. Focusmate gives me the gentle accountability and human presence that helps me show up for myself, even on difficult days.

I first joined Focusmate during Covid, at a time when I was studying alone every day and struggling to stay motivated. Focusmate didn’t just help me concentrate - it kept me grounded, disciplined, and emotionally steady. With that support, I managed to pass 18 difficult exams and professional qualifications on the first attempt. I’ve done several thousand sessions, and each one reminds me that I’m not doing this alone.

A great way to connect. Focusmate is such an amazing resource for those of us that struggle with attention and getting goals done in increments. I use focusmate for doing my accounting, for networking for a job, for cleaning house, for taking time to meditate. It's been a real game changer since working from home.

I love the supportive community on Focusmate. For tasks that I tend to procrastinate on, Focusmate makes all the difference. I find myself overcoming that "wall of awful" and just getting down to what needs doing. I'm so grateful this website exists!

It’s really changed my life. There are tasks both at work and private life that are so tedious I would procrastinate forever, but with focus mate it’s just so much easier.

I love Focusmate. I've been using it since 2025 and have done 50 sessions so far. Without exception, I've dealt with nice people. Focusmate really motivates me to stay on track and consistently complete my to-do list. I really like the new feature that allows you to jump into a session outside of the 15-minute intervals. I would like to see a group feature added. For example, a writing group, a tidying group, or whatever purpose the group might serve.

omg. I cannot believe how much I'm getting done. Seriously! There's someone available at all times, every day... Please, please, join these guys. Keep them in business forever.

Focusmate is def life saver. Great Team

Focusmate is, quite simply, a complete game changer for me. Whilst I have never been officially diagnosed with ADHD, I can see that I share many of the symptoms, and I use focusmate to alleviate the problems I experience. Problems starting work? Well just press the button to book a session in 5/10/15 mins or whenever you would like and it will trick your brain into going through the process of thinking about what you have to do next in order to study. Problem solved.

The format of the session is that you are paired with someone else from focusmate, and you spend a brief period of time - between say 1 min and 5 mins, explaining to the other person what you are going to study on. This is really useful as it gets you to refine down and be specific about your goals. Then you spend the time working (there are 25/50/75 mins sessions available), and at the end of that time, you regroup with your buddy to discuss what went well, and what went less well.

It's a fantastic 'body doubling' idea, and my productivity has literally gone up 100%. It also takes the loneliness out of studying - although you don't know the other person on the end of the call, and you you don't particularly share personal details, it shares the pain, and makes you realise there is a community of fellow sufferers!

The other thing i'll mention is how supportive the community has been. I am blown away by how kind and considerate everyone has been, in over 50 sessions with focusmate. As a woman especially, I was concerned about safety, but i've noticed there are easy ways to report people who might behave badly, and you can always just exit the call - not that i've ever needed to on Focusmate. It's a collegiate, hard working community of people all over the world, and it has been literally life changing for me. Thank you Focusmate!

Phenomenal service. I can focus much more easily with someone working alongside me. Sessions are easy to book, anytime I want, automatically show up on my calendar and the people on here are fun to spend a little time with while we keep each other on task.

Focusmate is a game-changer!
The accountability that Focusmate creates has helped me boost my productivity and stay on task in ways that I never thought imaginable with my ADHD.

Most amazing website ever????? <3 Join and do all your chores, join and stay commited to your goals, create a life of your dreams. Now you will have the energy.

Good to get your work done - especially for morning / evening routines.

It works. Great community of people. You get together, get things done, share your experience and leave. Simple as that.
