Promethee vs Focusmate
Focusmate pairs you with a stranger on video for a 25, 50 or 75 minute session; the accountability is the person. Promethee's accountability is the record: the session you ran, the apps you were in, the XP, the streak, and the people who follow you seeing it. The two combine well: run a Focusmate session and track it in Promethee.
