Really wish I'd found this years ago Really wish I'd found this years ago. I've only had one bad experience and the rest have been fantastic. The last few weeks have been the most productive of my life, thank you to the Focusmate team and it's users.

Gorgeous Simplicity This is a perfect product in the digital remote-working age. The guidelines that the developers created, and likewise the atmosphere of the FocusMate that ensues, are themselves simple and focused. It is a pleasure to meet a diversity of people across a working day. I have been more productive than I have been in my entire career. I wish I had discovered FocusMate earlier. I am so thankful to have discovered it now. Use FocusMate. Let's create a focused world together.

Massive productivity boost! My productivity has significantly increased since finding FocusMate. I was looking for a 'virtual coworking' type of arrangement that made it simple and convenient to book coworking sessions, but also holds me accountable to showing up to do my work. Just completed my 100th session with FocusMate and I'm loving it!

Helping achieve goals and being my best self! I have completed more than 1600 sessions on Focusmate till date, and it has been a lifesaver to keep me accountable to get work done, improved my time estimation skills on how much work I can get done in a 50-minute session, and a brilliant way to meet and work with so many welcoming and fun people. I have spent sessions working on meditation, journaling, planning projects, my dissertation, presentations, chores and a good deal of other stuff! I just wanted to say thanks for existing and helping people like me achieve our goals and be our best selves.

Now in my THIRD year as a customer Back in 2020, a close friend told me about work gyms – sites where you randomly match with an accountability buddy online to get work done. Of the ones I looked into, I selected Focusmate, frankly, because of the offer of "three free sessions per week." Nothing to lose by trying it out. The site uses a browser-based calendar through which you select timeslots to book your session with another user. Each session uses video, mic, and chat. But in each session you basically greet your session buddy, declare what you'll work on, and then you each get to your tasks, with you and the other person's video on. Co-working with video ("body doubling") turned out to be a powerful tool for my productivity. So I upgraded to the paid subscription of what was then just USD $5 per month for unlimited sessions. Focusmate has rules to ensure members' safety. When I wrote my first review, I had completed over 60 sessions and highly recommended it. Now I am over 1,200 session in, and it is still my absolute favorite productivity tool, also for the fantastic and diverse community of users and the respect for that diversity. The only (continued!) complaint I have is the limited payment options for international users. They really need to sort that out.
