Directly competes with the social and gamified aspects of BePresent, specifically targeting students and groups.

What fed this analysis
A strong alternative that focuses on 'intentional friction' rather than hard blocking, appealing to the same 'mindful' audience.
A high-rated peer that competes on the 'Zen' and 'Control' positioning with a significant user base.
The category giant for gamified focus; while much larger in scale, its 'planting trees' mechanic is the primary psychological rival to BePresent's rewards.
Solves the same problem (screen time) via a minimalist UI replacement rather than an app-blocking utility.
While a task manager, it shares BePresent's core DNA of gamifying self-improvement through RPG mechanics.
A utility-focused peer that emphasizes data visualization and 'phone life' tracking.
A rapidly emerging threat (34k reviews in <2 years) with a unique hardware-software hybrid approach.
A newer, high-growth entrant focusing on a clean, modern UI and simplified scheduling.
