ABOUT PRESENCE

Protect focused work. Stay present for what matters.

Presence is an interruption-reduction tool that turns the signals you choose—calendar events, meetings, calls, recordings, and places—into one clear availability status.

WHY I BUILT IT

Being home does not always mean being available.

Working from home gave me something I value deeply: the chance to make lunch, tie shoes, put on a bandage, and be nearby for the little moments in family life. But it also created a constant question outside my office door: is now a good time?

I had seen the same problem in traditional offices. We tried door sliders, shades, colored lights, and sticky notes. They only worked when someone remembered to update them.

“Presence came from a simple question: How can I protect focused work without missing the little moments happening just outside my office?”Arron HarttFounder of Presence
01

Set it and forget it.

Presence is designed to work quietly after setup. Manual and custom controls remain available when real life does not match the schedule.

02

Share the answer, not the details.

People see whether now is a good time. They do not need meeting titles, callers, conversations, audio, video, or precise coordinates.

03

Useful at home and at work.

The same automatic or custom status can power a family link, an office-door display, a team board, or a receptionist view.

THE PRODUCT

Presence reflects what is actually happening—not only what was scheduled.
