About

Presently

Features
Read full description

Presently is a focus timer built around body doubling โ€” the practice of working alongside another presence to stay grounded and on task. It's designed for people with ADHD, but works for anyone who struggles to start or sustain focus. Here's how it works: set a short intention for what you want to focus on, choose a duration, pick an ambient soundscape, and begin. The app creates a sense of shared space โ€” like working in a coffee shop, library, or alongside a quiet companion. Soundscapes include Coffee Shop, Acoustic Cafรฉ, Rain, Library, Office, and Keyboard โ€” each designed to provide just enough background presence without distraction. No streaks. No guilt. No gamification. Just a calm space to begin working. Features: - Intention setting to clarify your focus before each session - Six ambient soundscapes with infinite looping - Pause and resume without losing your place - Session completion summary - Fully localized in 13 languages - Works on iPhone and iPad

You were not born to scroll. Every day the feed takes hours you will never get back. ScrollNinja gives them back, one mission at a time, and turns you into the person you could be: more focused, calmer, more creative, more in control. Try it free for 7 days. Feel the change before you pay. BECOME YOUR NINJA Pick your ninja from 50 painted characters. Every mission makes them stronger. Watch them change through 5 painted ranks, from Curious Novice to Scroll Master. On Day 3 your ninja can reach Level 5 and earn a sword. Who will you be in 90 days? ONE MISSION A DAY, MADE FOR YOU No guessing, no menus to explore. Every day ScrollNinja gives you one mission, at the hour you scroll the most, and tells you why it is for you. Too hard? It gets smaller. Doing great? It grows with you. GROW FOUR POWERS - Focus: your attention back. Finish a movie, a book, a task. - Wisdom: a calm, clear mind. - Fantasy: your imagination and better nights. - Discipline: you decide, not the feed. FOCUS AND MEDITATE - Focus sessions lock the apps that pull you in. - Guided meditation and breathing, from 3 minutes. - Calm sounds made by us: rain, forest, waves, a fireplace on a winter night, temple bells, koto and more. Mix two. - Come back and tap Finish to collect your XP. Honest points, no tricks. BLOCK THE FEEDS - Block the apps you pick, right now, for as long as you choose. - Plan blocks for the night or for work hours. - Social sites are blocked in Safari too, so there is no back door. WHEN THE URGE HITS Tap Rescue Me and breathe with your ninja instead of opening the feed. CHALLENGES AND THE DOJO 7-day challenges for every power, each ending with a red seal. Train with friends and ninjas around the world in the weekly Dojo. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your Screen Time data stays on your iPhone, through Apple Screen Time.
