What is BePresent?

BePresent is a private daily mood journal for Android and iPhone. Once a day you rate how you feel from 1 to 10, note what gave you energy, and keep the moment with a few words, a voice memo or a photo. Your entries are stored on your phone rather than in the cloud, and a tree grows as you build the habit.

Notice what fills you up

  • Friends, sleep, music, nature, or your own
  • Every day at a glance, scores over time
  • Re-read, re-listen, look back

All features

  • Rate your day, 1 to 10

    Slide along the wave to score how today felt. Over weeks the scores turn into a picture of what lifts you and what drains you.

  • Name your energy givers

    Friends, sleep, music, nature, work, or one of your own. Turn the ring to mark what filled you up today.

  • Write what matters

    A line or a page. Gentle prompts like “What made you smile today?” help when the page feels blank.

  • Say it out loud

    Record a voice memo when typing feels like too much. Tap once to turn it into text if you want to read it back.

  • Keep the picture

    Add a photo from today so you remember the light, the place and the people, not just the words.

  • Reminders that fit you

    Choose how many nudges you want each week, from none to daily. A weekly recap shows your highlight and average score.

    Your journal is yours. Export everything as a ZIP file for your own backup whenever you like.

What is BePresent?

BePresent is a private daily mood journal for Android and iPhone. Each day you rate how you feel from 1 to 10, note what gave you energy, and capture the moment with text, a voice memo or a photo. A tree grows and achievements unlock as you build the habit.

Is my journal private?

Yes. Your entries, photos and voice memos are stored on your phone, not on our servers, and you do not need an account. Only if you tap to transcribe a voice memo is that recording sent to our transcription service to be turned into text.

Is BePresent free?

BePresent is free to download and every subscription starts with a 7-day free trial. After that it costs €1 a month, €5 for six months or €10 a year, and you can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play account.

How does the BePresent tree work?

Every reflection you save helps your tree grow, from a small sprout to a full tree. It is a gentle visual of your habit: the more often you check in, the more it grows.

What are energy givers?

Energy givers are the things that filled you up today, such as friends, sleep, music, nature, books or work. You can add your own. Over time you get a feel for what shows up on your best days.

Can I use BePresent on more than one device?

Because entries are stored on the device for privacy, they do not sync between phones. You can export your whole journal as a ZIP file at any time to keep your own backup.

What happens if I delete the app or lose my phone?

Your entries live on your phone, so deleting the app or losing the device removes them. Export your journal regularly from the settings, and keep your phone backups switched on.

Which languages does BePresent support?

BePresent is available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian.

How do reminders work?

You choose how many reminders you want each week, from none to every day. Reminders are push notifications that invite you to check in; once a week you also get a short recap of your week.

Where can I get help?

Email contact@bepresent-app.com and we will get back to you.
