Presence.
Home, away, or do not disturb.
Presence is a simple status board for the house: who's home, who's away, who's studying and shouldn't be knocked on. It answers the everyday questions — "is anyone home for the delivery?" — without anyone sharing their GPS location.

You set your own status; the house just sees the answer.
Why houses use it
No location tracking
It's a status you set, not a map. Nobody's movements are tracked.
Practical answers
Deliveries, guests, noise, dinner headcounts — one glance answers them.
Do not disturb
Working or studying? Set DND and the house knows not to knock.
Don’t take our word for it — click around a real household.
The live demo is the actual app with a pretend house in it. No signup, nothing to install.

Common questions
Does Presence track my location?
No. Presence is a manually set status — like a whiteboard by the front door. The Shack never tracks anyone's GPS location.
