Beside vs DopaFlow

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. Lock your phone or switch apps and your scene keeps playing, with controls on the Lock Screen. 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.
