A Delightfully Intuitive Wellness App That Makes Self-Reflection Feel Effortless

I’ve tried many wellness and journaling apps, and most feel either too clinical or too simple. Present Sense strikes a thoughtful balance between calming, reflective, and genuinely useful.

What stands out is its focus on recognizing patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors - not just tracking moods, but understanding recurring cycles.

The design is clean and intuitive, and features like “Log a Feeling,” “Find Quick Relief,” and “Reflect” make it easy to use anytime. The breathing and grounding exercises are simple, practical, and effective.

Most importantly, the app feels genuinely human and centered on self-awareness rather than engagement. Highly recommend if you want something deeper than surface-level mindfulness.

Response from developer

This is such a thoughtful review. Thank you. You named the thing we care about most: patterns over moods, self-awareness over engagement. That distinction is the whole reason Present Sense exists. Happy it’s landing the way we hoped. Glad you’re here.

Awesome App

Simple. Elegant. VERY helpful. Great app with resources to help in your mental health journey.

Response from developer

This means a lot, thank you. Simple and calm by design is exactly what we set out to build: something you can reach for and get help right now. Every tool is grounded in evidence-based practice (CBT, DBT, ACT, grounding), and the core set is always free. So glad you found your way here. Wishing you ease, friend.

Worth it

Its a simple app, no crazy bells and whistles; but that’s the point. Its like going to local family businesses to avoid Walmart. Less convenient, but everything is still there. Most important part being it’s from pure hands and people that genuinely care and you can see that. I’m happy with the app. I recommend it fully and just pay two bucks a month to upgrade. Also worth it for everyone’s sake.
Great app, and great idea.

Great app but glitchy

I love the content of this app, but I don’t love the glitch that shows I have 10 notifications when I really have none, and no way to clear it. I deleted and redownloaded the app, but the 10 notifications are still there! Plus, the premium subscription I purchased will not transfer to the new download (keeps giving an error message.) Please fix these glitches because they are not conducive to the mindfulness of this app.

Taking time for myself

I’m not used to taking time out of the day for myself. This app is helping me so much. Especially the breathing. It’s something I can do anytime, anywhere. This app has become part of my daily life. Highly recommend for those who need to learn to “stop and smell the roses!”

Focus on the good of the day

This app reminds me to take time to reflect, on simple things, but in impactful ways

Love this app!

I was so excited for this app when I saw it! I know, especially when I’m driving, I’m so focused on where I’m going that I forget to take in my surroundings. This app is awesome for reminding you to be in the moment! Such a powerful thing!!

Mindfulness

Sometimes you need a little reminder to enjoy the little things! Love this app!

Great app to add mindfulness into everyday!

This app has already been really helpful for me to purposefully integrate mindfulness into the routine things I do everyday. I love it! Plus it is such a clean and simple app to use!

Mindfulness=Happiness

Loving this app and all the mindfulness features it has to offer. Makes mindfulness easier and nice to see in review.
