The most effective platform to focus by far! I've been using Focusmate since 1.5 years ago. Is like having the BEST classmate ever to have study sessions with. I LOVE IT. Please try it out. I promise you won't regret.

Focusmate is the best productivity app out there. It has changed completely how I work. An awesome platform to avoid chronic procrastination.

As a Focusmate fan, having done 3,000+ sessions since May 2023, I can't recommend this platform enough as the greatest way to focus on and actually get done whatever you need to get done, through easy and supportive accountability from literally all over the world! I've gained SO much productivity focusing with "strangers" from over 19 countries across six continents - and several becoming "favorites" with whom I've forged great friendships. In fact, the 3,000 sessions snuck up on me because for me it's not about tracking them or the goal of how many, it's about the goal of each one. Grateful to Taylor Jacobson and his team for Focusmate!

I always recommend Focusmate to my ADHD coaching clients (& use it myself). I’ve been a fan for many years & it just gets better & better. The word I hear most often from my clients is GAMECHANGER (& it is) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I absolutely love Focusmate. I spend all day at the computer and sometimes the isolation can be overwhelming and debilitating. Focusmate has changed my life. Not only do I get far more done, I've met people from all over the world! It is extraordinary. This evening, I worked and chatted with a woman in Australia and then a woman three hours ahead on the East Coast, with whom I've worked before. I've met and worked with young high school students doing homework, college students practicing instruments, and older people in far flung countries doing projects of every type. This is perhaps the most joyous product of the internet.

Focusmate are truly a wonderful company with truly wonderful staff. I applied for their Scholarship programme and was gratefully accepted. I find it fantastic that this company enables people that are struggling that may not otherwise be able to reach their goals without additional help which the services Focusmate meet. Thank you so much Focusmate! I deeply appreciate your generousity and services, and will gladly tell more people about it!

I found Focusmate during the pandemic, and it has been instrumental in keeping me on track. The genius of it? I'll let myself down by scrolling social media instead of working, but I won't let my Focusmate partner down. That external accountability has helped me conquer procrastination through different phases: the job hunt, skill-building early in my career, knocking out mundane chores, and carving out intentional learning time. When I use it consistently, I make great use of my time.

Focusmate has been a lifesaver for me!! I’ve suffered from crippling task paralysis for years, and this is the only thing that’s pulled me out of it. The staff is also incredibly kind and eager to help with any issues that may arise. They also respond very quickly, which is a nice breath of fresh air. I’m beyond grateful for this app/site, and I can’t wait to continue to use it as a tool!
