dubbii: the body doubling app 4+

Thank you

I’m literally crying because having adhd can some times… all the time….. feel like no one truly understands me and I can’t just ask someone.. hey can you come over and hang out so I can clean my kitchen. This is amazing. I’ve looked for apps that would have reminders that I could schedule or what ever but to use them is so freaking overwhelming.. like I have to open a calendar and go to the date and then there’s a list of check marks and then I just delete the app. I can’t help but beat myself up after I’ve not cleaned the kitchen in a week but can’t think of any way to reach out to anyone because its just cleaning the kitchen, it’s not that difficult.. I just need to do it and I’m just being lazy. I think it’s really hard for people to understand that even if I get the motivation to clean as soon as I’m done than in my mind I’m done forever now. Finishing a task for me just means finally, I did it, good thing I’ll never have to worry about that ever again.

Love the Concept, need Larger Screen Capabilities

I’ve just opened the app (after having downloaded it a month ago and then forgetting I had it) and so far I love the concept and 90% of the execution. But where there’s a huge disconnect for me is that when I, say, call a friend to body double they’ll usually talk to me while I complete a task, and so while my brain is occupied in listening and trying to answer a conversation my body is able to take care of tasks. I get this isn’t practical for the app, but then I miss out on the other part of body doubling which is having someone in the room with you. The body doubling screen is so brilliant, but so small — I find myself needing to hold my phone to trick my brain, but then I just end up doom scrolling. An app for a smart TV might be too big of an ask, but a way to “cast” or “stream” the body doubling footage to my TV would be so helpful because as Rox works, I can work. Anyways — I really recommend anyone to just try the app out once, my problems might not be the same as yours, and the concept is so, so cool. Thank you!

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! Streaming to a bigger screen is a great idea and definitely something we’ll consider adding to dubbii!! In the meantime we hope dubbii continues to help! 💙

Life saver

This has been the first time I have actually remembered to use the app and omg it helped so much. As hard as it is for me to get things done just cause I just can never seem to it was so much easier feeling like someone was there with you helping you with the task so instead of it feeling like a chore and unmanageable it made the task more fun. I’m someone with a learning disability, ADD, and I’m on the autism spectrum. Before this app it was like I knew what I had to do but I’d almost avoid it just cause it was so much work to do the task. After this app I just find what I need to do and then the dubbii takes me through step by step of how to do it correctly and efficiently. I still can’t believe what I have accomplished in such a short amount of time. Something that usually takes me sometimes days has only taken me a few minutes. For once in my life as crazy as it seems I feel such a sense of achievement. I would recommend this app to anyone that struggles.
