In plain words
BePresent is an iOS app designed to help users reduce screen time by combining app blocking with psychology-based gamification, accountability features, and awareness tools. Rather than simply restricting access, it redirects the dopamine reward typically associated with phone scrolling toward positive behavior reinforcement for staying off devices. The app targets people who struggle with excessive screen use and want a more engaging alternative to standard screen time management tools.

From the sources
BePresent is not your typical screen time app. The app blocking tools you need are reinforced with psychology-based gamification, accountability, and awareness. Replace the dopamine hit you used to get from scrolling with dopamine for staying off your phone.
