A body doubling app for real work
MySession is a browser-based place to work alongside real people. Choose a live room, name your task, and use the shared focus block to begin.

What you do in the app
Choose an available room when you want to start now, or select a scheduled group session when a fixed start time helps you show up. Everyone brings their own work: writing, admin, studying, design, or anything else that benefits from a protected interval.
Inside the room, add a concrete intention and keep your personal tasks visible. The shared timeline shows when the group is focusing, breaking, or checking in. You do not need to coordinate a shared project with the other people there.
Live company, not a prerecorded video
MySession's body doubling is a live group experience. Other participants are doing their own work at the same time, and the room gives everyone the same start and finish. That is different from playing a study video in the background or using a solo timer.
The check-in is a chance to say what moved forward, not a test of how much you produced. If the first task took longer than expected, record the next action and choose another block when you are ready.

Choose the level of structure you need
A short 25-minute block can lower the effort of starting an avoided task. A 50-minute session gives a normal work unit room to breathe; a longer block can protect context for demanding projects. Check the room format and rules before joining so the structure matches your task.
The browser-based room includes camera, microphone, chat, and optional music controls. Some rooms set their own participation rules, so choose one that fits your environment and privacy needs. You can name an outcome without revealing client documents or personal details.
Start with one small action
You do not need a perfect plan. Open the session list, pick a room, write down the next visible step, and work beside people who are also making progress on their own tasks. If you want the method explained first, read the body doubling guide; if you are ready, join a room.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to download an app?
No. MySession runs in your browser, so you can open a live room without installing a native mobile app.
Is this only for people with ADHD?
No. People use body doubling for many kinds of independent work. It is a focus technique, not medical treatment.
Will other people see my work?
You control what task details you share. Check each room's camera or screen-sharing rules before joining.
