Thanks @mwseibel for hunting us!
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Chris, one of the co-founders of Shimmer (#1 ADHD Coaching Platform). I’m super stoked to share something we’ve been testing & iterating on with our members for a while!
✨ Quick refresher on Shimmer: In ‘22 I was diagnosed with ADHD. I was handed some Adderall and sent off to fend for myself. After many hours of rabbit holing, I discovered ADHD coaching which was perfect in principle but way too expensive and the options were ancient—so we created Shimmer v0, amassed a waitlist, got me in as the first client, ran a private no-code beta, then launched in a matter of weeks!
✨ Fast forward 18 months, and we’ve had the privilege of serving over 31,000 sessions and thousands of clients, while staying in lockstep with member needs & feedback each step of the way. We stood up & deprecated many experiments, but the one that has lasted and evolved through them all is… body doubling!
If you’re new to ADHD lingo, body doubling is basically a fancy word for co-working, except you can apply it to anything that gives you positive social accountability, and makes a way bigger difference for us with ADHD. Doing laundry next to a friend, calling your mom while you clean, working at a coffee shop, logging on to Shimmer Body Doubling as a Shimmer Coach hosts a session—pick your poison ☠️
We created body doubling after our members had been asking for it for a while, but found shortcomings in other body doubling options. So we did what we do best, we leveraged the latest in behavioral & ADHD science to create an ADHD-informed way of doing body doubling.
We explored ways to infused the ADHD motivators—interest, urgency, newness, accountability, challenge, and community—into body doubling. Check out the video to learn more about how the experience flows 🎉
We’re excited for the Product Hunt Community to check us out and let us know if you have any questions! ❤️
With love, Chris Wang

Shimmer Body Doubling is a fascinating concept! How does it balance real-time performance with seamless integration? I can’t wait to see how it transforms workflows!
This is revolutionary. Been searching for something like this since ages. Great Job @christal
This is so awesome! I love that you get to put your tasks in and have accountability on them! Congrats on the launch
Love to support mental health on PH - they are super rare but the world needs it! Also love the disclaimer, there are tons of non-clinical solutions claiming to be clinical. The idea of a coach is a great example of you being transparent. Love how you still have a team full of psychologist and medical professionals.
Thanks for sharing your story with us as well @christal - congrats on the launch team!
Looks like Shimmer is here to make body doubling a breeze! Does this mean I can finally attend meetings while my clone handles the coffee runs? ☕💼
That's really nice. It's inspiring to see how you've evolved Shimmer based on real user feedback and continued to innovate. So excited about how you’ve infused ADHD motivators into the platform—truly unique! Congrats on the launch!
Looks promising! I would recommend Shimmer to my friends struggling with ADHD. Thank you for making!
I love Focusmate and can’t wait to try out Shimmer. However, I clicked the PH link and I see no way on the website to try out the body doubling and the other tools, only the coaching (which I’m not interested in atm). Am I missing something?
I'm so impressed by this new app! Can't wait to see how it boosts productivity and support for individuals with ADHD.
Chris and the Shimmer team are incredibly impressive - excited for this new feature launch!
What a very cool product — it's really neat to see the benefits this provides!
This is an awesome and unique feature! I've heard body doubling is super effective for increasing productivity among ADHDers from friends and family. Exciting to see Shimmer able to support this in a consistent and reliable way! 💫
This looks really great! Congrats, @christal and team! I just registered with Product Hunt for my first-ever upvote. 🤓
Can you share more details on how the ADHD motivators are incorporated into the body doubling experience?
