Momo review
Momo combines solo focus tools with invited-friend sessions on iOS.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Momo is a mobile focus app for students, freelancers, and people with ADHD who find it difficult to start tasks. Its workflow centers on The Pile, a task list for avoided or pending work. Users choose a task, start a timed focus session, and work alongside an animated raccoon companion. Sessions can be completed alone or shared with an invited friend, making Momo a focused option for solo work with light body-doubling support.
The free Momo plan includes unlimited timed sessions with Momo, unlimited tasks in The Pile, and task and history syncing across devices. The paid Friend sessions tier costs $9.99 per month or $39.99 per year, and adds the ability to invite a friend into a session while retaining unlimited timed sessions and cross-device syncing. The pricing is straightforward: solo focus is covered by the free plan, while shared focus is the paid step-up. Weekly goals, progress tracking, rewards, illustrated reward cards, a monthly calendar, and statistics extend the planning and reflection tools beyond a basic timer.
Momo’s standout feature is its combination of a task-selection ritual, an animated companion, optional app blocking, and invited-friend sessions. That makes it suitable for people who benefit from a clear starting point and a small accountability structure rather than a broad project-management system. The iOS-only platform and two-person room capacity narrow its fit, and the friend-session feature requires payment. Choose Momo for individual focus with the option to work alongside one invited friend; choose another tool if you need access beyond iOS or sessions for more than two people.
