Is Deskhaus free?
Yes. The haus and the hosted sessions are free. Decor and coins are the paid extras. A team can also ask us to set up and run a private haus for it: see Deskhaus for teams.
Do I need a camera or a mic?
No camera. You only need a mic if you want to talk, and you can always type instead: room chat, messages and speech bubbles.
What happens in a focus session?
You get five minutes to say the one thing you'll do. Then fifty minutes of work, no talking, next to everyone else. After that comes a break: check out with done or not yet, and go stretch.
How do I join?
Tap any Pull up a desk button, sign in with your email and pick your key. That's it, you're in. It takes a minute, on a computer or your phone.
When does the haus open?
It is open. Sign in and pull up a desk.
What's in the haus?
The Focus Room and the Library for quiet work, the Lounge and the Game Room for breaks, the Garden for fresh air, and an office of your own. Game nights, trivia and the Job Board come later.
Will the session times work where I live?
Yes. Hosted session times show in your own time zone, and the open desks are there at any hour.
Is the Job Board safe?
When it opens, nobody ever pays to apply. No deposits and no crypto tasks. Agree on the scope and the rate in writing before you move to WhatsApp. Members pay each other directly, and money never goes through Deskhaus.
Who runs Deskhaus?
The Deskhaus team, with hosts who run the sessions. If anything feels off, tell a host and they'll sort it.
