About Focusmate
Focusmate is a virtual coworking service. You book a short session, get matched with another member, and work on your own task on a video call while your partner does the same.

You book a session of 25, 50 or 75 minutes, share your goal at the start, and work with your partner until the session ends. At the end you check in and talk about what you got done.
