well, starting off with i want to say it is such a great platform for students or working professional to complete the work . for me personally i think what works is the fact that i can pull longer hour of study and score better due to that . the fact that someone is studying on the otherside make me motivated to study more . this is why i like it . other reason is the the user interface is smooth so you can operate is very freely .

Incredible. I have nearly 3,000 Focusmate sessions under my belt, and it's been an absolute game-changer. In terms of safety and trust, I've never had a single session or partner that's made me feel uncomfortable. (Well...one time, my partner wanted to tell me about her religion, but I did ask the first question, so my curiosity may have sent mixed signals.) I'd recommend it for anyone!

Truly wonderful experience, the fact that i interact with a person in live (one on one )and set my goals before the session and report before ending the session increases the accountability factor . After a long break focusmate helped me to get me on track as i am a freelancer , Tried many other apps but this is simple and effective

Focusmate is amazing: I have been able to parallel work with people from all of the world who are engaged in fascinating projects. Whenever opening up the computer feels a bit too hard, I remember Focusmate and it helps to jumpstart me. I feel so grateful to have found it!

I have completed over 1000 sessions on Focusmate and absolutely LOVE the service! I have enjoyed working with and connecting for a few minutes (before and after the session) to connect with others on a more human level. I found Focusmate after transitioning to 100% remote position and it really helped me meet kind people and feel less isolated. I have benefitted from focusmate for personal activities (meditation, stretching, reading, journaling, exercising). This is truly my favorite app/service I used and it has made a large impact on my productivity and quality of life (reduced mindless activities to help encourage intentional decisions on what I want to do throughout the day) Thank you Focusmate!!! 😀

Love using Focusmate, beats procrastination every time.

I am a neurodivergent writer. I cope with ADHD, Autism, Audio Processing Disorder, as well as other learning disabilities and mental health issues. To say that I have issues with executive function is an understatement! I was put onto FocusMate by a member of one of my Facebook writing groups, and knowing my issues, decided to give it a try. When I tell you I got more done with my writing in one fifty minute sessions than I had in weeks on my own, it's not an overexaggeration! The nifty thing about people, especially those who are neurodivergent, is that the motivation to begin and focus on a task to completetion is not influenced by the reward at the end, i.e. a sense of accomplishment, a cleaner living space, a finished art project, etc. The lower levels of baseline dopamine and serotonin make getting started or staying focused impossible. However, when someone having executive function issues body doubles with another individual, it flips a switch telling that someone, "Oh, yeah, I should do the thing cause doing the thing will make things easier, safer, cleaner, etc." Whereas most neurotypical people really don't have this issue consistently enough to justify routine body doubling, for most neurodivergent people, it's necessary or nothing gets done. This is where FocusMate comes in. FocusMate is a platform that allows users to body double virtually with other people around the world, whether someone new or a favorite user one has interacted with in past sessions. Both people engaging in the session keep each other accountable by talking about what they want to accomplish during that session either verbally or in chat. And by the end of it, check in to see how much got accomplished. Many users either complete the tasks they set for the session, or more. Body doubling is a technique that hundreds of thousands of neurodivergent people use everyday to be able to accomplish tasks, there is peer reviewed research proving the science behind how it works and why. FocusMate makes it accessible for EVERYONE! And when it's cheaper than a single large custom caffeinated beverage at your local café for a monthly subscription for unlimited sessions, it would literally be a waste of time, money, and energy to NOT invest in this platform. Cause you're not just giving money to a company that doesn't deliver on promises. You're investing in a science backed technique and task accomplishment system that helps you invest in yourself. The only thing you have to lose by using FocusMate is time, energy, opportunity, and money from not completing tasks. And you have ALL of that to gain, and more. Do yourself a favor and try FocusMate. I promise you won't regret it!

Just finished my 100th session on Focusmate. I am familiar with a lot of productivity apps on the market - dare to say at certain point I had used all of them that's available. Focusmate is something else. Its simple, focused. It doesn't have fancy social setup, and concentrate on one particular thing - help people focus (by having a temporary accountability buddy). I am a little bit annoyed that they up the monthly subscription fee from $5 to $10 (as I had cancelled the subscription for a while - to my knowledge if you were subscribed the whole time they don't change the amount, kudo to that), but I understand they need to survive. Keep it up, Focusmate!
