Presente User Guide
Presente is an app made by Buanzo Consulting.
What is Presente?
Presente helps you coordinate activities using opt-in pings that can start encrypted, short-lived chats. Dimensions, Hubs and groups organize conversations around places or interests. Notifications are customizable, and strict privacy controls keep your data safe.
Why use Presente?
Presente lets you arrange plans without the noise of social media. You quickly show you're available, invite friends and chat only as long as needed. Everything is private and you stay in control. Read our Privacy Policy or delete your account anytime.
It's perfect for those moments when you want to meet up fast and keep things simple.
Sign up
Sign up with Google or with email and password. Profile features are not available yet.
Invite friends
From the Invite Friend option, send a link by email or QR code. Whoever gets it can join and start using Presente with you.
Post an activity
Create activities by setting a name, date and duration. Your contacts will see where you'll be and can join or reply.
Send a Ping
Pings share your exact location within a chosen radius for a limited time. You control when and for how long you're visible, and the ping data is removed automatically.
Encrypted Chats
Friend chats are end‑to‑end encrypted (1:1). Ping/Dimension chats are short‑lived and encrypted with a group key distributed securely when participants join.
Dimensions are shareable tokens that create time‑limited chats based on your location or Wi‑Fi — perfect for situational interactions.
Privacy and Data Handling
Presente keeps only essential information. Ping locations are wiped after they expire, chats are short-lived, and you can export or delete your data at any time from the app.
Hubs and Groups
Use Hubs and groups to organize activities with communities or multiple friends in one place.
Quiet Hours
Set quiet hours so you don't get notifications while you're busy or resting.
Notifications
Presente alerts you to invitations, replies and group activity. Set quiet hours and choose exactly which notifications you receive.
Online activity and tasks
See who's active right now. Activities you're invited to appear as cards you can swipe to respond quickly: accept, decline or decide later.
Past activities
If an activity was fun, you can repeat it without creating it again. Just pick it from your history.
Ping radius
From Settings you can define how far your Ping reaches. Choose whether to alert just those nearby or further away.
