Body Doubling Session Timer

Set your work session length, name what you're working on, and start — the goal stays visible the whole time as a gentle anchor, whether you're on a call with a body double or working solo.

How does this work?

This is a plain countdown timer with two modes: a work session and a break, cycling back and forth for as long as you keep going. What makes it "body doubling" isn't the tool itself — it's using it alongside someone else, on a call or in the same space, so you're both quietly working with a shared sense of accountability. The goal field keeps your intention visible the whole session, which some people find helps as much as the other person does.

A gentle chime plays when a session ends. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere — this is just a timer running in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

What is body doubling?

Body doubling is working alongside another person — in the same room or on a video call — while each of you does your own separate task. The other person's presence can make starting and sustaining focus easier, especially for ADHD.

Do I need another person to use this timer?

It works best on a call or in person with someone else, but it also works solo as a plain focus timer with a visible goal — some people find just naming the goal out loud helps, even without a body double.
