Exam deadlines are looming, work is piling up, yet that one game keeps pulling you back in?

We understand the struggle. Facing apps engineered to harvest your dopamine, our willpower alone stands no chance.
True self-discipline requires a heavy-duty ally.

PayAttention is not another passive timer that softly begs you to focus. It is an iron-willed productivity companion built to help you reclaim your time from digital addiction.

◉ HARDCORE APP BOUNDARIES
Put your most addictive apps on the restricted list. Once your daily limit is reached, access is locked.
Need a temporary safety net for urgent matters? You are granted 3 complimentary Time Cards each week to add a short buffer session when you need it most.

◉ IRONCLAD RULE LOCK
Worried you’ll lose control and alter your settings mid-scroll? Lock your rules in advance. Once locked, settings can only be modified during your clearest state of mind: from 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM daily.
Need an emergency unlock outside this window? It will cost you all 3 of your weekly Time Cards at once.

◉ PERFECT FOR:
• College students and professionals studying for major exams, bar prep, or engaging in intense Deep Work.
• Late-night scrollers who are sacrificing precious sleep to endless feeds.
• Anyone who has tried other screen time timers but always ended up clicking "Ignore Limit."

Reclaim your time, your focus, and your life from the dopamine economy!

◉ PRIVACY & SECURITY
Your data is sacred. PayAttention operates strictly within iOS native frameworks (DeviceActivity / ManagedSettings). We NEVER have access to your personal data, passwords, or browsing history. Zero trackers, zero data selling.
