Well-being check-in · for people who live alone
Presence, not silence.
Presence quietly learns your everyday phone rhythm. If your day goes unusually quiet, it checks in — and if you can’t reply, it gently lets someone you trust know.
Available now on iOS and Android — questions? presence@better.sg.
How Presence works
No daily check-ins to remember. Presence works in the background, so you can forget it’s there.
-
1
It learns your rhythm
Presence notices ordinary signs of life — unlocking your phone, screen time, charging — and learns what a normal day looks like for you.
-
2
It checks in if things go quiet
After about 12 hours of unusual silence, Presence sends you a gentle “just checking in” — deferred overnight so it never wakes you.
-
3
It tells someone you trust
If you still can’t respond, the trusted contacts you chose are notified — by push, with SMS and email as backup — so no one is overlooked.
Passive by default
Nothing to open, tap, or remember. Presence runs quietly in the background, even when the app is closed.
Private by design
Your behaviour data stays on your phone. Presence derives one thing — how long since you were last active.
People you trust
You choose who gets notified, and they can watch over you with a calm, at-a-glance status.
Always in control
Tune when alerts fire, pause monitoring anytime, and withdraw consent to delete your data — permanently.
Built to respect your privacy
Presence only ever looks at signals of activity — never their content.
Presence looks at
- How often you unlock your phone
- How long your screen is on
- Charging & app activity
Presence never looks at
- Your messages or calls
- Your camera or microphone
- Your location
Raw activity events auto-delete after 90 days. Data is hosted in Singapore.
Presence, not silence.
A quiet reassurance for you — and for the people who care about you.
