Frequently asked questions.

Presence is a free iPhone and iPad app that records a rehearsal, pitch or mock interview and scores how you delivered it across 21 measures of timing, voice, word choice and body language. Every score comes with a plain-language explanation and one thing to try on the next take.

Yes. Presence is free to download and use. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase, no advertising and no tracking.

A voice recorder hands the audio back to you and a transcription app hands the words back. Presence scores the delivery itself, telling you that you ran at 178 words per minute, spent four percent of the take in silence and said um eleven times, and pins each of those to the exact second in the transcript.

A built-in library of more than 200 frameworks, principles, techniques and exercises for speaking, with new ones added regularly. After each recording Presence recommends the entries that match whatever scored lowest, so the reading follows the recording rather than sitting in a separate list.

No. Recordings stay on the device and are analysed there using Apple’s on-device speech and vision frameworks. Presence has no account system, sends no audio or video to a server, and deleting a recording in the app removes it for good.

Yes. Because the analysis runs entirely on the device, Presence records and scores a take with no internet connection at all.

21 measures in four groups. Timing: pace, pauses and sentence length. Voice: intonation, vocal range, volume consistency, tone and opening energy. Words: fillers, hedging, emphasis, absolute language, word variety and confidence. Body language: eye contact, blink rate, expressiveness, fidgeting, gestures, posture and stability.

Both. Record with the camera and Presence adds seven body language measures: eye contact, blink rate, expressiveness, fidgeting, gestures, posture and stability. Eye contact is measured from head pose rather than from eye tracking, so it reflects where you were facing rather than exactly where you looked.

Presence runs on iPhone and iPad running iOS 26.0 or later.

The app and its full learning library are available in 21 languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

Presence is made by Zatech, a one-person iOS studio based in the Netherlands, run by Maarten Meijer. Support is at support@zatech.nl.
