At work: walk in, and the day starts
Pin where you work once. After that, walking in, heading out to lunch and leaving become your start, your break and your end. No taps.
Now in a small pilot on Android
Your hours, written for you.
You arrive, you work, you head home. Presence keeps track of when – no timer, no location history, no peeking at your screen.
- No account
- Works offline
- Your days stay on your phone
Why work from 08:31?
Arrived at work
Walked in, then stayed put
Stayed until 12:14
Not a timer
Your day, the way it really went.
No clock to start, nothing to forget. Presence collects small clues through the day and puts them together, the way you would if you had to remember.

Your phone noticesYou reach one of your places, you walk, you sit still. Your phone notices this anyway and tells Presence.

CluesNo single clue decides. Being somewhere isn't working, and stepping out isn't a break.
3
Your dayWork, breaks and travel, plus how long is left. Unsure? Presence asks one short question.
What we're aiming for
The time tracker you never have to touch.
Most days you do nothing at all. When Presence isn't sure, it asks one quick question instead of guessing, and remembers your answer for next time.

Made for hybrid work
At the office, at home or on the road.
At home: being home isn't working
Tap Start work, or let an optional desk beacon notice when you sit down. Once Presence knows your usual break, it adds it for you.
On the road: the drive counts
The drive to a customer is work, not a break. And a long day that runs past midnight stays on the day it started, just like on your timesheet.
Honest about what it knows
It tells you when it's guessing.
When Presence had little to go on, it marks that stretch with stripes and says so. Tap any hour to see why it's there. And whatever you change beats what Presence worked out.

Private by design
It knows when you worked. Nothing more.
Presence turns what your phone notices into plain facts like "arrived at work" and throws the raw reading away. There's no location history to leak, because there is none.
What Presence uses
When you arrive at or leave one of your places, known only as Work or Home Whether you're walking, sitting still or in a vehicle, as your phone reports it If you want one: a small Bluetooth beacon on your desk What you tell it, which always winsWhat it never touches
Your apps, browser, keyboard, mouse or screen A history of where you've been: no coordinates are kept Your contacts, or the titles and guests of your meetings An account or a server: your days live on your phone
Battery
Easy on your battery, by design.
Presence uses what your phone notices anyway, and stops checking as soon as it knows enough. We're aiming for under 1 % of your battery a day, and the pilot is measuring it.
No GPS running all day
Your phone simply tells Presence when you arrive or leave.
No permanent notification
Nothing stays running in the background just to keep tracking going.
No constant Bluetooth scanning
Your phone listens for your desk beacon the thrifty way, without scanning over and over.
Battery saver stays on
You never have to switch off battery optimisation for it.
Presence on your computer
Your hours on the big screen.
Open the dashboard, tap Show on PC and hold your phone up to the webcam. Your days hop across as a moving code: no account, no cloud, no cable. Then browse your weeks, months and year, or copy your hours straight into your timesheet.
Can my employer see this?
No. Presence is just for you and your own hours. There's no manager view, no team dashboard and no productivity score.
Do I need an account?
No. Presence works without an account and without internet.
What if it gets a day wrong?
Fix it on your phone in a few taps: the start, the end or a missed break. Your change always wins, and Presence learns from it.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not at the moment. Presence is built for Android.
