Have heard great things about this! I've been using Centered.app for a while and like it quite a bit, but it doesn't have the same aspect of people really being there, so i can see how this would be quite different! Need to give it a try

@britt_joiner Having an accountability partner help to ensure we show up, set intention for our time and follow through in the session. Feel free to sign up and give it a try and I hope to see you there 😁

The recent releases have been game-changers, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming releases. Keep up the great work, Focusmate team!

I want to be able to create my own group, or join groups for specific types of tasks (like cleaning or workouts or getting ready for bed) and that's still not available. It would also be awesome to have a group for all my WFH friends so that if any of my IRL connections and friends-of-friends are online, we could be matched preferentially. So far it appears that groups are still private and unavailable to other people, which is a bummer. I thought it was a really cool feature.

@booglelooga Thanks for your comment and feedback. We're actively working on more customizable matching options!
Margarida Penedos
@booglelooga our upcoming updates to the "Favorites" feature should help address this - you'll get the chance to be preferentially matched with your wfh friends and irl connections! :)

Hey Focusmate team, honestly wow wow wow! Focusmate was introduced to me 2 months ago within my ADHD Whatsapp group, and it has truly changed my life. As someone who is constantly battling ADD, I cannot thank you enough for creating this product and building this community. I am a huge promoter and share using this with anyone I know who might be struggling with body doubling. As product features, some suggestions: a) Grouping people with similar tasks (e.g. people doing morning routines, or workouts, or yoga) - can help with increased accountability b) Providing the option for increased accountability support to enhance partner's productivity (e.g. I love to screenshare and have added it my name right now or if someone wants to be nudged to add specific goals for their sessions) c) I wonder if there is a way to group match (especially when either a partner drops mid session or your partner just don't show up)

One of my favorite tools! I don't think I use any other tech tool nearly as frequently. And the price is so hard to beat. I recommend it to all my friends.

@jeremy_blanchard thank you!!

Focusmate has been a total gamechanger for me. I use it to get so many things done and have company while I do it :) So grateful!

I LOVE focus mate....it's genius. A friend turned me on to it a few months ago and I was skeptical at first....how could working on mute, on screen with a total stranger help? But as soon as I tried it I was hooked....it was incredibly helpful and I am always super productive whenever I use it....which is a lot. I have been telling all of my clients and friends about it since. I highly recommend it!!
Najwat Rehman
@sonia_satra thank you for the appreciation!! glad to have you as part of the community!

I'm super happy about the rematching for late joiners. I cannot tell you how many times I spend 30-60 seconds to log in at x:59 o'clock just to not be able to join. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Najwat Rehman
@salhatton we're super happy that you're super happy! thanks for being part of the community.

I've been off Focusmate for awhile because my shyness got to me; I'd love a way to filter my calendar to show people who are essentially willing to be extra nice to noobs and shy people. (Once I get back in the flow I can see myself being one of these people too). Thanks.
Najwat Rehman
@bunchoo thanks for sharing this thought. as you probably know, the Focusmate community is made up of some of the warmest and most supportive people in the world. I'm sure when you get back to Focusmate you'll be welcomed by this warmth and support! that said, we'll definitely keep your thought in mind as we continue refining booking and matching flows
