About this app

BePresent the #1 Screen Time app.

It's the first screen time solution that makes it EASY to stay off your phone - using the same psychological techniques as social media, but to get you addicted to staying OFF your phone.

Block distracting apps to focus on what matters - while earning streaks, points, and rewards, all to motivate you to keep up your good habits.

Accessibility Service Usage: BePresent uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect when you open apps during active focus sessions. The service monitors window state changes to identify which app is in the foreground — no screen content, text, keystrokes, or personal data is accessed. This information is processed locally on your device to display a reminder screen that encourages you to stay focused. No data collected through the Accessibility Service is stored, transmitted, or shared with any third party. You can enable or disable this permission at any time in your device's Accessibility settings.

Ratings and reviews

So far so good - still on the free trial but could not be more effective. The most productive Monday I've had since I first got a smart phone! I've not really interacted with the gamification side of it but just that pop up block every time you reach for those addictive apps reminds me to put the phone back down and I'm already picking it up less.

The app is making me think twice about opening apps but more important, is making me think about how I'm not even thinking when I open social media. It is often a mindless act that I could replace with something so much more useful. I'm going to pay for the annual subscription, worth every penny. Update: is been about ten days and my life has changed for the better. From probably 3, 4 hours on Insta to under an hour for 9 days. playing less games, reading more, being more present ❤️

love the idea and all, but the timer is very poor. It counts time straight through from when you first open your phone in the morning, straight through until it locks you out. Clearing the app when you exit doesn't even stop it. It will count time for multiple apps at once, even if they're not even running in the background, let alone actually being used. Great idea by all means, but needs some fixes to be viable
