Present: Screen Time Manager

Andrew Sverdrup

À propos de l'application

Present helps you break the reflex to open distracting apps. Set daily open limits, let Present enforce them with Android’s usage access controls and on-device blocking, and stay focused on what matters. Choose the apps that derail your day, cap how many times you can launch them, and get a gentle intervention when you’re done. Limits reset automatically at midnight, so every day starts fresh.

Present is a screen-time control app: it lists every installed app so you can pick which ones to limit, set daily open counts, and block them when limits are hit. Without full visibility of installed apps, the core experience—choosing apps to manage, enforcing limits, and showing accurate usage—doesn’t work. Present prominently uses this “all apps” view to power its main features: selection, limit setting, and blocking.

• Limit app opens, not just minutes: cap daily launches for each app
• Per-app blocking: only the app that hits its limit is paused; others stay available
• Temporary access: request short extra time when you truly need it
• Simple tracking: see usage and limit status at a glance
• Automatic resets: clean slate every night at midnight
• Private by design: everything stays on your device; no account required

How it works: grant Usage Access so Present can monitor launches, pick the apps you want to curb, set daily open counts, and let Present show a blocking screen once a limit is reached. You’ll get interventions that keep you honest without shutting down your whole phone. Works on Android phones and tablets (Usage Access permission required; “Display over other apps” helps show interventions reliably).
