Deepwrk

Host-led body doubling sessions

Small-group focus sessions run by a host. A typical hour has a 3-minute intro, 2 minutes to share tasks, 50 minutes of silent work and a 3 to 5 minute recap.

24/7 focus space

An always-available silent room for working alongside other members without speaking, with a Pomodoro timer, a to-do list and focus music.

Weekly planning events

Live weekly planning sessions where members pick out their most valuable tasks and make a plan to get them done.

Rewards and progress tracking

The app tracks progress and adds milestone rewards, achievements and badges, which the vendor describes as gamification to keep members consistent.

ADHD community

Members can join a community of adults with ADHD to share wins and encourage each other. No formal diagnosis is needed to join.

Low-pressure format

Cameras can stay off, talking is limited to 20 to 30 seconds at the start and end of a session and can be skipped, and sessions are not recorded.

FLOWN

Facilitated focus sessions

Scheduled sessions of one hour (Power Hour) or two hours (Deep Dive), led by trained facilitators. Members set a goal, work silently together and share how it went.

24/7 Drop-In

A silent coworking room open around the clock. You add a goal, set your own Pomodoro timer and join or leave whenever you like, with no speaking.

Community sessions and focus rooms

Members host smaller peer-to-peer sessions for purposes such as job hunting or decluttering, and a private focus room can be shared by link with friends or colleagues.

Built-in video platform

Sessions run on FLOWN's own video platform, with a Pomodoro timer, intention setting, chat, music and sounds, virtual backgrounds and picture-in-picture.

Recharge sessions

Membership includes 20-minute Take-Off morning routines and live breathwork, journaling, meditation, drawing, movement and weekly planning sessions.

Streaks and accountability wall

Streaks, badges and community challenges reward consistency, and a public wall lets members post intentions and mark them complete.
