PRESS ROOM
Facts, approved language, founder information, and visual resources for anyone writing or talking about Presence.
APPROVED DESCRIPTION
Presence turns the tools people already use into one privacy-safe answer: Is now a good time to interrupt? User-approved calendar, meeting, call, recording, streaming, and place signals become one clear availability status for a private family link, office display, Reception View, browser, connected light, or supported automation—without exposing calendar titles, caller information, conversations, audio, video, or precise location.
Copy-ready company description“Presence came from a simple question: How can I protect focused work without missing the little moments happening just outside my office?”

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Presence reflects what is actually happening, not only what was scheduled. It is designed to work quietly after setup while leaving every person in control of manual overrides, custom statuses, sharing, and connected outputs.
PRIVACY POSITION
Shared views communicate availability. Presence is not designed as employee surveillance, attendance tracking, or an HR system, and it does not listen to calls, read email, or record meetings.
MILESTONES
Presence begins private beta.
The Presence Alexa skill passes certification and enters the Alexa Skill Store.
Google approves Presence OAuth verification for read-only calendar events.
BusyTag, BUSY Bar, Zapier, IFTTT, and the Presence for Mac menu-bar beta expand the ways a status can be detected, controlled, and displayed.
Presence publishes a transparent hardware guide comparing full tablet displays, TRMNL, BusyTag, and BUSY Bar by use case and limitation.
