Body doubling apps for ADHD
Working alongside someone — even a stranger on video — makes starting and staying on task easier for many people. Here are the options, free tiers first.
Tools, easiest first
FLOWN

Free option (4 community sessions/month + Fridays); 30-day trial, no card. $25/mo monthly, $19/mo billed annually, $900 lifetime.
Focusmate
Book a 25/50-min video slot with a stranger; camera-on can feel awkward at first.

One automation to try: Book one session before you need it
- Sign up for Focusmate's free plan (3 sessions a week, no card).
- Book a 25-minute session for the task you keep postponing.
- At the start, say your goal out loud in one sentence. That's the whole trick.
