Play Store description

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 โ€” 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.
