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

Good, but a sub optimal experience Vs Apple experience. it is good at blocking and being present, but the android app is unresponsive, can't log help, feedback, can't select specific apps to block. had to email for support, been waiting over a week for a response. also struggling to work across timezones when travelling. so many good things the app does, but the app needs some work.

The founders of this App definitely want to add value to lives. I had a first rate customer experience with their support when i had just subscibed to the app in the ape world but then had to switch to an android pho e due to circumstances. They gave me a full refund for the apple subscription so I can subscribe in android. I was already a big fan of this app because of the way I could manage my time on social media. Now I am fan of the founders as well 😁

pretty great. i really can't use my phone when I've scheduled a no-phone session. no overrides
