Panda Presence - Science-backed pauses that help you feel calmer in seconds.

by
I was constantly distracted and overwhelmed—so I built an app to help. Panda Presence uses science-backed micro-meditations to bring you back to now, fast. I’m not a developer, just a stressed-out guy who found a way to build something that works.

Hey everyone, I’m Dave, the founder of Panda Presence. I built this app because I was overwhelmed, distracted, and honestly… not very present with the people I care about. I knew mindfulness could help, but long meditations didn’t fit into my day—and I’m definitely not the "Calm" or "Headspace" type. So I created something simple: short, science-backed pauses that help you reset in real time. I’m not a developer, but I hired a great one, listened to feedback, and after a year and a half (and a lot of growth), version 2.0 is here. Would love your thoughts—and if you try it, let me know what you think. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
