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!

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! 💙

Amazing and validating

This feels like an app genuinely designed to help people, and I rarely see those. The price is relatively affordable, and egads, it helps me so much. You can expect to be spoken to with respect, understanding, humor, and encouragement. Seeing a real home, not the immaculate, styled home of an influencer, and working through the chore together was low key life changing for me. I started with cleaning the bathroom and that baby is cleaner than it has been in AGES now, and I feel so good about it. It is easy for me to say, “okay, you just did the one room. Now power clean the whole house. You really should.” But eff that. In the words of Rox, better done than perfect. If you don’t have it in you to do everything, do SOMETHING. You’ll feel better for it. Thank you for this app.
