The support that happens between sessions.

A daily companion for anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD — or just a mind that's carrying too much right now. Five to ten minutes, whenever you need it, for everything that comes up when your therapist isn't in the room.

Message

Awake two minutes. Already exhausted.

Your eyes aren't even open and the list is already running — the reply you didn't send, the look on someone's face, the thing you still haven't done. Present doesn't need you to have it together yet. Say it out loud, messy and out of order, before it becomes the whole morning.

Your chest is tight and you don't know why yet.

It's not one big thing — it's six small ones landing at the same time, and your body reacted before your brain caught up. You don't need to solve all of it right now. Just say the first true sentence out loud, and Present helps you find the one thing that's actually next.

Word for word, hours later.

You know it by heart now — the exact words, the pause before you answered, the better reply you came up with four hours too late. Present isn't there to tell you to let it go. It's there to help you actually finish it, so it stops running on its own at 1am.

A real story

The fight with her mom used to cost Amanda the whole day. Now it costs her fifteen minutes.

Amanda and her mom have the same argument more often than either of them would like. It used to end the same way, too — Amanda would shut down for the rest of the day, replaying it, unable to do much of anything else. Now, when it happens, she opens Present before the shutdown fully takes hold. She's not pretending the fight didn't matter. She's just not carrying it for the next twelve hours anymore.

“I used to lose the whole day to it. Now I lose fifteen minutes — and I actually get the day back.”

Amanda, Present user
What's inside

Four ways Present carries what you don't have to.

Daily conversation

Talk through whatever's loud, any time, for as long as it takes — not journaled after, not saved for later.

Name the Feeling

A guided drill-down from "just off" to what's actually underneath it — in under a minute.

Thought Record

What happened, what you believed, what's actually true. The same approach your therapist uses.

Reflections

The moments worth keeping get captured on their own. No journaling required.

Where this fits

It's not a replacement. It's what happens in between.

Present isn't therapy, and it doesn't try to be. If you're already working with someone, this is for the thought that shows up between appointments — before it becomes something to bring up next week. If you're not in therapy, for whatever reason, Present is still somewhere real to start tonight.

Why it works

This isn't just a nice idea. It's a studied one.

Every part of Present is tied to a specific finding, not a guess — from why real-time, in-the-moment support outperforms relying on memory a week later (Hedges' g 0.73 vs. 0.45), to why naming a feeling measurably calms it.

John, founder of Present
The founder

Built out of what I actually needed, not a market I found.

John has spent his career building and scaling startups — most recently as CPO at Unchained, an AI-native supply chain company. He lives with bipolar disorder and ADHD, and built Present directly out of his own recovery. No formal engineering background — he taught himself to build it, because the thing he needed didn't exist yet.

For professionals

Worth five minutes, if you work with clients like this.

Present isn't a replacement for the work you do. It's built for the gap between sessions, and it's grounded in the same research your own practice draws on.
