## What is Present?

Present helps you break the reflex to open distracting apps. Set daily open limits, let Present enforce them with Apple’s Screen Time controls, 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.

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: picks are made with Apple’s Family Controls; app names stay on-device

How it works: select apps with Apple’s FamilyActivityPicker, set daily open counts, and let Present block the specific app once the limit is reached. You’ll get interventions that keep you honest without shutting down your whole phone. Works on iPhone and iPad (Screen Time permission required).
