Focusmate Omdömen 300

After using FocusMate for more than 2.5 years, and accumulated more than 5000 sessions, I can honestly say this has become one of the most important app in my daily life.

We have a saying in China that you need to endure loneliness in order to go far, what FM enabled me is that I can endure my loneliness, but at the same time connected to other peoples who are going through emotional & physical journey - it just let me have that little bit of appreciation and gratitude in my everyday moments to be my better self.

Keeps me plugged in and productive. People on the platform are friendly and focused. I use it nearly every day at work, and sometimes at home. Kinda magical how it works for me. Try the free version, no CC required. You get 3 free sessions per week. I used that for 2 years before getting the premium version.

I’ve been on focus mate for a few months, and it’s helped me get through tough times of tiredness or lack of motivation. Body doubling is magic! And it’s so special to have a space where people can cowork in solidarity across various tasks, countries, and cultures. Such good community and a very easy interface to book sessions. I also like the new ability to book instant sessions, if you don’t want to wait for a time slot.

I run a small biz from home and mainly work at the computer. I've been using Focusmate on and off since 2017 when a productivity blogger recommended it. It's the REAL DEAL. Try the free version, definitely stay for the paid one if it works for you! You can change your settings to accommodate preferences including non-speaking & gender preferences for partners, etc. It was really good to begin with and the developers have made it even better over the years. I've now had the paid version for a year, just did my 100th session, about to renew for another year. I'm in my 50s, I have ADHD and the biggest challenge is just to actually book that 1st session on your calendar. But it only takes a click or two. I find if I book 9am and 10am sessions each day, that gets me on track enough to follow through the rest of the day. Bad morning? Book 1pm and 2pm and get back on track no problem.

I've been using focusmate since December 2021.

At the beggining it sounded like a crazy concept and a little scary too. But once I tried it, I was hooked. I was procrastinating on a website for a fulll year and I got it done in 15 days.

If your environment isn't very encouraging, if your workplace is a bit toxic, if your motivation is low... Focusmate is exactly what you need to get that fire up in you again. I have a beautiful network of friends, but the accountability buddies I found on Focusmate are just pure gold. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

If you have trouble with Procrastination, with focusing, neurodivergent or not, you have to try it out. This has greatly helped my in my everday life and actual do things.

Focusmate is amazing. It has been helping me focus on stuff with an accountability partner, which is most helpful, especially when it's hard to feel motivated.

The team is responsive in case you need any help with the platform, and a wonderful group of generous people, trying to make productivity a way of life! Thanks a bunch, guys!

I have used focusmate and it was quite helpful in connecting with ppl with whom I can work along virtually.
The platform is easy to use and very helpful.

Amazing how well Focusmate works for getting work done

Recommended by the one and the only, Nir Eyal, this app is a gradual life changer.

Join it with greatest books; hooked and indistractable.

It’s hard to put into words how much Focusmate has already meant to me, even though I’ve only used it a few times.

Getting diagnosed with ADHD later in life completely changed how I see myself. For so long, I thought I just wasn’t capable of achieving much. But once I started learning what my brain actually needs to focus, everything shifted.

When I tried Focusmate for the first time, I was in shock—I actually got things done. It felt almost unreal. Even after just a few sessions, I can see how powerful this tool could be in my life. It helps me show up for myself, gives me confidence in my abilities, and
makes my days feel a little less empty, especially since I work from home.

I’m not sure how I got things done before Focusmate. I love this platform and I’ve tried others, but it’s by far my favorite. One of the reasons is the setting that allows you to filter for gender, I haven’t seen that on the other platforms. It’s also just very simple and intuitive the way it is set up. 5 stars!

Focusmate (FMt) is an opportunity for me to stay connected with many people I have become friends with, an opportunity to get things done, and a chance to learn about other people and cultures. I can’t imagine a more diverse place than FMt.

Most importantly, it helps me stay focused for last year. As someone with ADHD, I really struggle with getting distracted endlessly, and FMt helps me bring my attention back so I can complete tasks and achieve my goals and dreams. I realized after a short time of using FMt that my self-awareness has increased dramatically. Every 20-25 minutes, I find myself thinking, *"Hey, what am I doing right now?"*—a skill I developed as a result of using the app. It has also improved my time perception, which I used to struggle with. In a few words, FMt helps me stay present, aware, and conscious of what’s happening around me.

I also remember when I started using FMt, I was preparing for the TOEFL exam because I wanted to get into universities and study in the USA, which is my dream. With FMt’s community support and encouragement, I was able to prepare effectively and successfully pass the exam. Moreover, it helped me with the entire application process, especially my personal statement. I struggled to focus on it and kept avoiding tasks related to the Common App and my personal statement. However, with FMt, step by step, I was able to write and complete all the forms. As a result, I somehow managed to get into three universities so far, achieving this incredible milestone.

I’m studying for a professional exam and this tool has completely changed my life as I schedule my prep into my life. 10/10 no notes, I love this platform.

This app makes it so much more possible. I only wish I had known about it sooner, when I was working on my masters. You can be in quiet mode if you want and just type in the chat, but I've enjoyed the brief check ins at the beginning and end and everyone has been supportive and kind. It helps me remember to break my work up into tiny chunks and celebrate along the way.

I was nervous before my first session but now I have actually been looking forward to working on my revisions which is amazing. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in needing support. I am so grateful for this app and the amazing developers and this community

Really helpful for productivity. I'm self-employed and Focusmate really helps get my butt in the chair and plow through what needs to be done.

Literally a game changer for neurodivergent folks! Community is super nice, and the company itself is also awesome and genuinely caring.

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

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!
