Doing your own work while another person is present on a video call, doing theirs. People call it "body doubling". Here you book a time, and at that minute you are on a call with someone who booked the same. It's free.
Two people, two separate tasks, one call. You don't work on the same thing and you don't help each other: you each have your own work, and you each know the other one is there with theirs.
You can do it at a shared desk, in a library or over video. This page is about the video version, with a real person, at a time you pick.
The session starts anyway. For the first 5 minutes we look for someone while you work. If nobody arrives, you choose: stay and carry on, try the next quarter hour, or go back to the calendar. Fewer people book at night, and it's fair to know that in advance.
The surest way to have someone there is to bring them yourself.

Yes, it's free. You need an account, which asks for an email address and a code, or a quick sign-in. No credit card is needed.
A little. At the start you each say out loud what you'll do, and at the end you have two minutes to tell each other how it went. In between you work in silence. A chat is there if you want it. You can turn your camera or microphone off from inside the call, or point the camera at your desk.
No. Audio and video are not recorded.
