Caveday
Caveday runs facilitated group deep-work sessions called caves: a trained guide opens the session, has everyone put phones physically out of reach, sets intentions, then leads timed focus sprints with short breaks. It is the most ritualised of the virtual coworking services, closer to a fitness class for attention than a drop-in room.

What it's like
A cave feels closer to a guided class than a coworking room. The guide talks you through putting your phone away, writing down what you will work on, and committing to a single task per sprint. Breaks include light stretching or check-ins. The ceremony can feel over the top on day one, and it is also the point: the ritual does the deciding so you do not have to.
Who it suits
- People whose main leak is the phone: the away-from-desk phone rule is enforced socially, not by an app.
- Anyone who wants longer blocks than a 50-minute pairing, since caves run up to three hours in sprints.
- People who respond to facilitation and group energy rather than silent parallel work.

Frequently asked questions
Is Caveday worth the money?
If you use it several times a week and your alternative is a distracted solo day, members generally consider it justified. If you only need occasional accountability, Focusmate's free tier or a Discord study room covers that for less.
