I was recommended to Focusmate by their very own Megan Raftery. Wow, it may be the reason that I finish my Masters. I cannot thank the Focusmate team enough for all the incredible work they do. P.s. I have just one suggestion. Please pls pls provide options for different sounds that signal the beginning and end of sessions. The gong is very jarring for me. Anyways, love love, love everything else about y'all Kieran

This site has helped me SO much with productivity working from home. It provided the relief I was hoping to get from adhd medication which didn’t end up helping me. So grateful!

This website is an incredible tool for people working remotely and especially for neurodiverse folks. I originally got Focusmate to have accountability while studying for the bar exam, but now I also use it for my hybrid job. Once I started working from home, I found myself getting distracted by a million things. I have ADHD so I'm relatively used to getting distracted, but once I started using Focusmate, I noticed that I really became more productive and I stopped getting so distracted while working from home. Knowing that I'm on camera with someone else helped me stay focused on my tasks.

It's amazing how easy it is to get done the things that normally I would procrastinate and moan and groan and avoid doing. Such a simple solution. So easy. All I have to do is make an appointment to do the "thing," then I show up, and I do it! It's like a miracle! Easy productivity.

Great idea and well run platform! I get so much done while on a focus session. I have used it for packing, cleaning, getting my to do list taken care of, and mostly studying.

I started using focus mate a few months ago as I've ventured out into entrepreneurship and needed to create some structure and accountability in m days. Overall, it's great. My sessions have been productive and I enjoy meeting people from around the world and getting a glimpse into what they're working on. I have had a few sessions where people didn't show. Usually, I get paired with another person, but the 2x that hasn't happened, I kept my camera on for the session and got some work done. Not as productive without the accountability but still useful. I recommend Focusmate and think it's a good value for weekly virtual co-working sessions

I love using FocusMate. Working with others really helps me plan my time and stay attentive instead of getting distracted.

This website has changed my life for real. It helped me finish my master's, look for and FIND a job, practice my instrument, and so much more!! The accountability has been amazing for my focus and the people I have worked with have been great (100+ sessions and counting). Love this website and glad to be a subscriber too
