Modern life has quietly trained us to live everywhere except the present moment.


We replay conversations from the past.

We anticipate outcomes that haven’t happened yet.

We check notifications even when nothing urgent exists.


The result? Constant low-level anxiety.


The Problem: Attention Fragmentation


The average person switches tasks dozens of times per hour. Even during downtime, our minds rarely rest. We scroll, compare, react, and plan.


Traditional mindfulness solutions often require:

  • 10–30 minute meditation sessions

  • Structured programs

  • Daily streak commitments

  • Long audio libraries


For many people, that feels like another task to manage — not relief.


A Different Approach: Micro-Resets


Instead of building another full meditation app, we asked a different question:


What if returning to the present could take just a few minutes?


That idea led to the creation of Presence — a lightweight web experience designed to help people live in the moment through short, sensory-based prompts and immersive visual environments.


No installation.

No onboarding friction.

No pressure to build a streak.


Just open, reset, and return to your day.


Why Simplicity Matters


Many wellness tools unintentionally introduce complexity. More content, more features, more tracking.


Presence was intentionally designed to reduce noise:

  • Minimal interface

  • Short sessions (2–5 minutes)

  • Emotion-triggered guidance

  • A calm digital environment


The goal is not productivity.

The goal is clarity.


Early Observations


We’ve noticed something interesting:


Users don’t necessarily want longer sessions.

They want something accessible during stressful moments — between meetings, before sleep, or after receiving difficult news.


The “micro-intervention” model appears to fit modern attention patterns better than long-form practices.


Where We’re Going


We’re exploring:

  • Personalized awareness prompts

  • Adaptive session flows

  • Deeper sensory grounding experiences


But always with one constraint:

If it adds friction, it doesn’t belong.
