Present Sense: Mindful Therapy
iOS Universel / Forme et santé
Find calm, clarity, and presence—one moment at a time.
Present Sense is a practical mindfulness and journaling app built to help you shift out of stress and into grounded awareness using evidence-based tools from mindfulness, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR-inspired techniques, somatic tracking, and everyday sensory exercises. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just tools that work.
Whether you want to reduce anxiety, build emotional resilience, cultivate self-compassion and self-acceptance, or learn how to actually enjoy ordinary moments, Present Sense gives you simple, guided activities that fit real life—not unrealistic meditation fantasies.

WHY IT WORKS
Mindfulness changes your brain through repetition and awareness—not by trying to "think positive," but by learning to actually feel the present moment. Present Sense helps you train that skill in manageable, real-life bursts that build into powerful habits over time. Pair it with CBT-style reflection, self-compassion practices, and somatic grounding, and you get a practical system for calming your nervous system, improving emotional awareness, and breaking old stress loops. Daily intentions and gratitude help rewire your mind toward resilience and acceptance.
