EarlyBird: ADHD Body Doubling

Some nights the work isn't the hard part. Sitting down to it is. EarlyBird gives you a live room full of people who are already working, and that turns out to be enough to get you moving.

It's called body doubling, and it is not complicated. It's the same reason the library fills up during finals week: you are not alone in there, so you keep going a little longer than you would have at your desk at home.

HOW A SESSION WORKS
• Open the app and join a room. Someone is always in one — rooms run 24/7, including at 3am.
• Write down what you're about to do before you start. One line is plenty.
• Work. No mic, no camera, no small talk. Everyone is in there to get something done.
• Check back in at the end and say what you actually finished. Add a photo of the page, the screen, the problem set — whatever shows the work.

WHILE YOU'RE IN THERE
• See who else is online and what they're studying. Reading someone else's goal is oddly motivating.
• Drift off to another app and you get a quiet nudge back. A tap on the shoulder, not a lecture.
• Block the apps that pull you away. You pick which ones, and only while a session is running.
• Run a standard pomodoro or set your own work and break lengths.

KEEPING TRACK
• Tag sessions by class, subject or project, so you can see where the hours went.
• Hours counted for today, this week and this month, so a semester stops being a blur.
• Streaks, for the days when not breaking one is the only reason you open the app.

WHO'S USUALLY IN THE ROOM
• Students cramming for midterms and finals
• People studying for the bar, the MCAT, a certification
• Remote workers and freelancers with no office to go to
• Thesis and dissertation writers
• People with ADHD who work better with someone else in the room
• Anyone who has rewritten the same first paragraph four times

You don't have to talk to anyone, and nobody is checking up on you. You just have to show up and sit down with people who are already doing the same thing.

Free to download. EarlyBird Premium unlocks everything and comes as a weekly or monthly subscription that renews until you cancel. The price for your country is shown on this page and in the app.
