Game Changer Focusmate has absolutely changed my life. I was struggling so much with "getting started" anxiety while wfh before finding focusmate. Now with focusmate, I can set a time to begin. Its crazy how well this works. Being able to share my screen and just feel like I am not alone while working with strangers all over the world has allowed me to do what I couldn't do on my own. I am so glad I found this product

I have used Focusmate on and off over… I have used Focusmate on and off over the last 18 months and have generally found it both easy to use and most people pleasant.

Save my addiction of TV while WFH I initially doubted the power of Focusmate, as there are too many alternatives. However, the alternatives do not work for me. Using Forest app, a digital workplace with a lot of people just does not motivate me and I don't feel the reward. Focusmate makes me so goal-oriented by committing to only one goal per session. It's so helpful with the distraction nature, and also helps me with the danger of scope creep. Moreover, surprisingly, I feel so happy and looking forward to working as I can get to know people around the world. The whole Focusmate community culture is very supportive, this makes me not willing to try other alternative platforms. I tend to ask people with more sessions, " what's your suggestion for using Focusmate after using it so many times?" This turns out to be a great interaction topic! Last, it is helpful with my procrastination. When I just feel not right and not motivated, I just choose a session named " kickoff", the process of starting to plan the work is so helpful. I am grateful for you guys to make this platform working! However, I know Focusmate is not for everyone and the initial trial is hard as you gotta meet strangers, that's stress for some people. As focusmate grows, I believe the trust culture in community is what it matters!

I appreciate thaI appreciate that the team are responsive. I appreciate that the team are responsive. They have always helped me to their best efforts whenever I've had a query. Of course, the Focusmate team have no control over the people using the site (in terms of punctuality and the basics like that, I mean) and so can't be blamed if members spoil my session by not showing up etc. As a concept it's great! The other reviews here give a diverse range of angles on what you can get out of using the site.

I love FocusMate! FocusMate = Productivity I've been using FocusMate since June 2022 and I've grown more and more focused and productive with this tool than anything else. It really helps to know that there is a person waiting to work with you and they have their own goals to achieve! A quick check-in, respectful of time so work can begin, and boom-I'm off and running getting more done in an hour than I can sometimes complete in a day! Today I had a glitch in my account and it kicked me off my paid plan. Margarida was so helpful in the chat to find out the problem (duplicate account!) and help me rectify the situation and get back to my productivity packed day ahead! Dear Margarida and FocusMate: Wow! I can't believe how easy that was!! I was afraid I was going to lose my whole day! You're amazing! Thank you so much!!
