Screen time with a purpose

Turn your scroll time into social good.

Set a weekly social-media allowance. When you go over, completed extra minutes become a capped donation that supports the charities you choose.

Doing good should not cost you your privacy.

You choose what to track, and Apple’s Screen Time framework protects the details. Pay Attention syncs aggregate weekly totals and a non-reversible selection hash—not your messages, browsing content, passwords, or full card number.

No ad tracking

We do not sell personal information or track you across other companies’ apps and websites.

Your giving questions, answered.

How do the donations work?

Choose what you want to track, set a weekly Screen Time allowance, and define a donation rate and weekly cap. Each completed minute over your allowance adds to the weekly amount. The nonprofit share is then divided across the charities using the allocation percentages you set.

Which charities can I choose?

Search verified nonprofits across hunger relief, clean water, medical aid, wildlife, education, local community support, and many other causes. Choose one organization or divide the nonprofit share across several.

Can I control the donation amount?

Yes. You choose your allowance, amount per completed overage minute, and weekly cap. The app shows a projected total before weekly processing, and you can change your plan from Settings.

How do I know where my donation goes?

Your dashboard shows the weekly amount and the allocation across the charities you selected. Transaction and receipt details are available in your history, and you can update your nonprofit choices as your priorities change.

Can Pay Attention see which apps I use?

Apple protects selected app identities with privacy-preserving tokens. The server receives aggregate weekly totals and a non-reversible selection hash—not browsing content, messages, passwords, or the identity of each app in your history.

Does Pay Attention block my apps?

No. Pay Attention focuses on awareness, a donation-backed weekly promise, and optional nudges. You can change your tracked apps or pause activity tracking whenever you want.
