Built for brains that wander

Body doubling

Ambient soundscapes create the feeling of working alongside someone - a proven technique for ADHD focus.

Intention setting

Start each session by naming what you'll work on. A small commitment that makes a big difference.

Ambient soundscapes

Choose from curated sounds - rain, coffee shop chatter, library, office, and more - that make your space feel less empty.

Distraction-free

No social feeds, no gamification traps, no guilt. Just you, a timer, and the feeling of not being alone.

What experts say about body doubling

"Body doubling is external executive functioning, like having an administrative assistant follow you around all day."
Dr. Michael Manos, behavioral health specialist - Cleveland Clinic
"If somebody else is in the room, there's a little bit of social pressure to use your time well."
Dr. Ari Tuckman, Psy.D., author of More Attention, Less Deficit
In a 2025 reader survey, adults with ADHD rated body doubling as the most effective workplace strategy - ahead of productivity apps, time blocking, and timed focus techniques.
ADDitude Magazine

Formal research on body doubling is still emerging, but the practice is widely recommended by ADHD clinicians and organizations.
