What Together does

Together separates tasks into two core categories: Physical (e.g., household chores, tidying, moving around) and Mental (e.g., studying, coding, writing, admin). You can create any custom task you want and get paired with a body double working inside the same category.

For instant 24/7 focus without a live partner, Together offers Focus Spaces — including special Companion Spaces where you can focus alongside Kovu, the founder's dog.

Together respects different energy levels and privacy comfort zones. Users can select between Silent Mode (presence-only awareness without mic/cam requirement), Voice Mode (intermittent verbal check-ins), or Camera Mode (traditional video presence).

Why Together exists

Together was created by Ava Thalheim from personal experience with ADHD and executive dysfunction. For neurodivergent brains, starting a task represents a massive cognitive friction point. Traditional focus apps often impose strict booking schedules, compulsory video feeds, or high monthly subscription tiers that introduce social anxiety or barrier toentry.

Together is designed to remove activation energy barriers, giving users zero-wait access to supportive co-working environments whenever executive paralysis strikes.

Platforms and availability

Together is available for iPhone and Android.

Privacy, safety, and accounts

Privacy is fundamental to Together. Live peer sessions route over WebRTC connections protected by DTLS-SRTP encryption. No video or audio is ever recorded, processed on servers, or stored.

To prevent misconduct, Together incorporates native device screenshot detection (notifying partners on iOS, blocking captures on Android), cloud Row-Level Security (RLS), and explicit block rules.

Who created Together?

Together was created by developer Ava Thalheim. The public creator portfolio and blog can be found at avathalheim.dev.

What Together is not

Together is not a medical product, diagnostic software, or medical treatment for ADHD or clinical psychiatric conditions. It is a behavioral focus tool and virtual body-doubling utility designed to facilitate task initiation and social accountability.
