## What is Beside?

Someone's here. Let's focus.

Beside creates the feeling of someone working next to you -- without cameras, strangers, or interruptions. Body doubling is a proven ADHD and productivity technique, and now it's free on your iPhone.

No account. No subscription. No paywall. Ever.

HOW IT WORKS
Open the app. Pick a scene. Start focusing. That's it.

Each scene surrounds you with ambient sounds and subtle visual cues -- a coffee cup steaming nearby, pages turning, someone typing at the next desk. You never see another person, but you feel their presence. That's body doubling.

6 HANDCRAFTED SCENES
Cozy Room -- Rain on the window, warm lighting, a desk lamp glowing nearby
Coffee Shop -- Espresso machine hum, gentle chatter, someone typing beside you
Library -- Whisper-quiet, pages turning, the calm focus of a study hall
Lo-fi Room -- Chill beats, a companion at their desk, late-night creative energy
Night Owl -- City lights, cricket sounds, your late-night study partner
Garden Morning -- Birds, a gentle breeze, someone reading next to you

FOCUS TIMER
Set a session for 15, 25, or 45 minutes -- or go infinite. A gentle notification lets you know when time's up. No pressure.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
See your focus history on a calendar. Build streaks. Watch your focus time grow over days and weeks.

WHY BESIDE?
- 100% free -- No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases
- No camera -- Your camera is never used. Period.
- No account required -- Open the app and start focusing immediately
- No strangers -- Ambient presence, not video calls with random people
- No scheduling -- Focus whenever you want, not when a session is available
- Works offline -- No internet needed once downloaded
- Dark mode -- Easy on the eyes, day or night
- Private -- No data collection, no analytics, no trackers

BUILT FOR
- ADHD adults who use body doubling to get things done
- Students studying alone in their room
- Remote workers missing the presence of coworkers
- Anyone who focuses better when someone else is around

Body doubling shouldn't cost $7-40/month. It shouldn't require a camera. And it shouldn't mean scheduling sessions with strangers.

Beside is focus, simplified.
