Unlock Deep WorkA real person. Not an app.
We keep you on track
and unlock your deep work.
Meet your focus partner: a real person who checks in every weekday, plans your week with you, and gets on a call the moment you freeze. Not a boss. Not an app. We keep you moving, even on the days you don't feel like it.
From $19 a month · Free intro call first · Cancel anytime
Sound familiar?
Doing it alone is the hard part.
Procrastinating again?
You plan the week on Sunday. By Wednesday the plan is gone, and nobody noticed.
Check-ins every weekday and a weekly plan keep you on track.
Feeling frozen?
You open the laptop, and an hour later you still haven't started. You know what to do. Your hands just won't move.
Take a de-freeze call and get back to work in 15 minutes.
Tired of working alone?
No team around, no one to say "how's it going?" Quiet makes it easy to stop.
Co-work with your focus partner, like a colleague at the next desk.
What actually helps is simple and old: another person who expects you to show up.
How it works
One focus partner. Four simple steps.
- 1
Start with a free call
30 minutes to understand your work, your goals and what gets in the way. Then you pick the plan that fits, or none at all.
- 2
Plan the week together
Every week, a call with the same person to pick what matters, break it small, and decide when it happens.
- 3
Check in, your way
Short messages through the day, as often as you need. More on hard weeks, fewer on easy ones. We adjust to you.
- 4
Call when you're stuck
Feeling stuck right now? Message us. We get on a short de-freeze call, pick the smallest next step, and you start while we're still on the line.
Why a person
Apps remind you. A person expects you.
Notifications are easy to swipe away. A real person who knows your week, remembers what you said yesterday and asks how it went is not.
Peer co-working sites pair you with a different stranger each time. Your focus partner is the same person, every week, and your work stays between the two of you.
- The same person every week, who knows your context
- Real calls, not just text: planning, de-freeze, co-work
- Confidential: your work and your messages are never shared
- No bots. AI helps us prepare, a person talks to you
A note from Shiva
I built this because I needed it.
I'm a software engineer, and I've worked remotely for years. I know the challenges that come with it. Away from a team, it's easy to drift from the work that matters: some days because you feel alone, some days because you're worn out, some days for no reason you can name.
I had days where I knew exactly what to do and could not make myself start. Apps didn't fix it. Systems didn't fix it. What worked was simpler and older: someone to talk to, and someone to nudge me back on track. It worked for me, and it works for a lot of people.
That's what I'll be for you. Not a boss, not a coach with a script. The same person, every weekday, until finishing stops being the hard part.
Let's unlock your version of deep work.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Is this a real person or an AI?
A real person. Your focus partner reads your messages, calls you and remembers your context. We use AI behind the scenes to help prepare your weekly plan and keep notes tidy, never to talk to you in place of a person.
What happens on the free intro call?
30 minutes to understand what you're working on, what gets in the way, and what would help. We suggest the plan that fits. If you join, we send a payment link and check-ins start the next weekday. If not, no hard feelings.
When are calls available?
Weekdays, 9:30 am to 1:30 pm US Eastern (1:30 to 5:30 pm UK, 7 to 11 pm India). Weekly planning calls are booked at a time that suits you in that window.
How does a de-freeze call work?
When you're feeling stuck, message your focus partner during call hours. We reply, usually within 15 minutes, and call you if we're free, or offer the next open slot. In 15 minutes we talk it through, pick the smallest next step, and you start.
What are co-work and think-it-through calls?
Both come with Power. On a co-work call you both work quietly, together, for 45 minutes, like having a colleague at the next desk. On a think-it-through call you talk a goal or task through out loud until the next step is clear. Book them a day or two ahead.
Can I use it for personal goals?
Yes. A book, a side project, the gym, waking up early: any goal you're working on alone. Most of our members work remotely, but the method is the same.
I'm in India. Can I join?
Yes. Calls run in the evening, 7 to 11 pm IST, in Hindi or English. Ask about India pricing on your intro call.
Who runs this?
Shiva, a software engineer who knows the freeze from the inside, and what gets him moving. He is your focus partner for now; as we grow, every partner is trained by him. The business is Vasmee Enterprises, India.
Is this therapy?
No. We help you stay on track with your goals: starting, planning and following through. We don't diagnose or treat anything and we're not a substitute for therapy or medical care. If you're struggling with your mental health, please see a licensed professional. Read our safety note.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Your work, goals and messages stay between you and your focus partner. We don't record calls and we never share or sell your information. Privacy policy.
Can I change plans or cancel?
Anytime. Upgrade, downgrade or cancel by sending us a message. Refund policy.
What if I ignore the check-ins?
We'll notice, and we'll ask, kindly. No guilt trips. Missing a day is normal; the point is coming back the next one.
Your goals shouldn't depend on willpower alone.
