Scrolling is your choice
BePresent doesn't try to make opening your apps difficult, it actually makes it really easy. It keeps you from opening too much by continually reinforcing that it's your choice to open or not. Without it scrolling feels like a trap you magically find yourself in, passively without intention.
I often click through up to my limit, and seeing that limit helps me moderate my usage. Great app.

This app has really made me reflect on how much time I spent doom scrolling. I like how it forces me to be present more.

I love that the app has a block prompt that pops up whenever I open my distraction apps. I have opened them out of habit and seeing the block quickly reminds me that there’s nothing I need to actually do on the app. So I quickly close the app and go on with my day. Otherwise I would have just gave in since I already opened it and would have scrolled endlessly. I just wish this was free.
Side note: I started trying out painting. Never would have done it if it weren’t for this app.
BePresent has helped me so much!
BePresent has helped me so much be intentional about what I’m doing on my phone and cut way back on screen time!
It actually works!

It immediately helped me drop my screen time. I love that you can exclude things (like exercise apps and audio books) and personalize your goals.
Love this app
This app was built for me and i have significantly reduced my doom scrolling and social use. I know people are complaining about the subscription model, but this has been worth every penny to me. At some point, I hope to go out without the app but right now it’s working.

I am getting to bed on time now that I can’t access facebook after 10pm- great and simple to use
This is so embarrassing
This is so embarrassing, but I was averaging 9 hrs of screen time a day…risking sleep for it bc it calms me short term. Week one I am under 4 hours a day. Primarily, it makes reaching for your phone a conscious decision “are you sure you want to do this?” No longer do I find myself 2 hours in wondering how I got here or thinking “one more video, that perfect video, then I’ll close out and go to bed” because I only have 5 mins of IG at a time before it closes me out. It’s like been shaken back into reality. Snaps me out of it! LOVE THIS after years of deleting, redownloading social media apps thinking that will do the trick.
Great App
This app is better than I thought it would be. I was under the impression there would be countdowns before closing the app that could simply be ignored, however, the way the app works it actually makes you WANT to close the app before the timer starts and become more PRESENT! Earning points, keeping daily streaks etc is a great way to keep the motivation! Loving this app! Already feel like I’m doomscrolling less!
Great app
This really helped me reducing my screentime. It makes not being addictive to your phone addictive :)
Made me aware I am loosing my life
