Review Focusmate?

Reviewers largely say Focusmate is a simple, reliable accountability tool that helps them start tasks, stay on track, and build routines, with especially strong praise from people with ADHD, remote workers, and students. Many mention long-term use, real gains in productivity, and an unusually strong sense of community. The main friction is around no-shows, late cancellations, matching preferences, messaging, and other workflow details, with repeated requests for better goal tracking and partner filters. One sharply negative review also raises concerns about moderation fairness and transparency.

Pros: - So easy to use. I've clocked 1,300 sessions on Focusmate now! - It got me through university and beyond. The power of having someone there for accountability is truly astonishing! - It's my favourite focus app. It's made for neurodivergent / ADHD folk, but works so well for everyone who is seeking to get a little more out of their day. - A wonderful place to work (when I interned there) - they are truly building something great. Cons: - Sometimes new features are slow to release, but the product is great as it is!

Just logged my 1000th session on Focusmate - it's my #1 tool to getting more stuff done (and better quality stuff!) I've dabbled with other accountability platforms and I keep coming back to Focusmate. For me - it's the best tool out there. There's huge power in making an appointment with another human to get meaningful work done. You do get no-shows but there are so many users that a replacement is usually found within 2min so the show rolls on. And you meet some great people doing interesting things from all over the globe. Thank you Focusmate and all my digital workmates!

Pete, thanks so much for taking the time to rate and review. I'm delighted you've had a positive experience. I'm also sorry to hear of the no-shows; this is something we're currently focused on improving. Please reach out any time (hi@focusmate.com) with any additional thoughts or concerns!

There has only been one tool that I have returned to time after time after time....for YEARS. It's FocusMate. My boss used to think I was crazy to want other people (strangers!) on the internet to work with me, but honestly, it's the only thing that has worked when I'm in a rut. FocusMate is probably responsible for saving my career on more than one occasion. As someone who struggles with ADHD, FocusMate is a gift that sometimes feels too good to be true. Affordable. Works every single time.
