CANONICAL PRODUCT REFERENCE

Presence, in plain facts.

A current, citation-ready source for customers, writers, search engines, and AI assistants. Last reviewed September 10, 2026.

Product

Presence is privacy-safe live availability and workplace status display software.

Purpose

It answers whether now is a good time to interrupt without publishing the private activity behind that answer.

Founder

Arron Hartt founded Presence in Austin, Texas, in August 2026.

Availability

Presence is in public beta and the individual beta is currently free without a payment method.

Inputs

Users can approve calendar availability, supported meeting and call activity, working hours, broad place labels, focus choices, and manual statuses.

Outputs

The final status can appear in private links, browser and tablet displays, team and reception views, staff-page badges, supported hardware, and automations.

Privacy

Shared views exclude event titles, attendees, callers, phone numbers, messages, audio, video, recordings, precise coordinates, and movement history.

Positioning

Presence is an interruption-reduction tool. It is not employee surveillance, attendance tracking, productivity scoring, or an HR system.

CURRENT STATUS

Verify capabilities before citing them.

The integration directory distinguishes live, beta, setup-required, independently built, and approval-dependent connections. Product names identify compatibility and do not imply endorsement.
