Intend - Inviting calm

Become more intentional with your apps. Create ends in a world designed to have no ends and ensure that the power sits with you, the user.

Open your apps with time limits and create ends in a world designed to have no ends. Change the way you interact with your apps. Do not open from habit or reflex, but with an intentional mindset. Avoid getting stuck in endless scrolls or other powerful features applied to attention-driven apps. Use Intend to control use and apply an end when lending out your phone to others.

In a world of digital abundance, Intend asks you to power up and take on some effort in exchange for control. It's an intentional choice — to avoid spending more time then you want to in attention-driven apps. It ensures that the control sits with you, the user.

When you open the app through Intend you do a short reflection by setting a time limit, you shift into a more intentional mindset — and most importantly, you create an end in a world designed to have no ends. When time limit is reached Intend shields the app and help you align with your intention. Intend is not stopping you, it´s stopping the app.

Intend can be an empowering supplement to Apple's parental control features. With Intend , you can provide your young adults with a self-regulating tool and by doing so, give them a way to take on responsibility of building good habits themselves. Share your subscription through Family Sharing and build digital awareness and good habits together. We believe in parents leading by example and in the power of doing this together — maybe the "Stats" board can even spark a friendly contest within your family: who has the biggest drop in time spent on selected apps? We like the analog touch of a contest like this, and the possibility to connect outside of the screens. Get together and compare the stats, maybe the leader could pick an activity you all could do together.

"Lend mode" is convenient when you want to open an app for a custom time limit and lend out your phone to someone else — with a built-in end point. This automatic stop is a relief when it comes to regulating use. The phrase "Give it back when it stops"- works.

Intend is built without any central servers and requires no user account. No information about you, your phone, or your location is ever collected or shared. The one thing we do ask for is access to your Screen Time data, so we can support you. This data stays on your phone — it is never collected or shared, and is only used to power your experience within the app. These are intentional choices. We've tried to stay true to the essence of the app: a supportive tool that keeps the power where it belongs — with you, the user.

The company behind Intend will keep exploring creative ways to build tech that pushes us toward more meaningful human lives.
