Drop-in body-doubling rooms for remote workers with ADHD

The problem

Many people with ADHD find it easier to start and finish tasks when someone else is working alongside them, a practice called body doubling. Remote workers lose that by default. Existing services mostly pair you with one stranger on camera at a booked time, or charge $19-$40 a month for hosted groups.

Why now

A CDC survey estimated that 15.5 million US adults had a current ADHD diagnosis in 2023, about half of them diagnosed as adults. BLS data released in September 2026 show 42 million workers had days when they worked only from home.
