## What is PayAttention?

Ever sworn to put down your phone, only to find yourself mindlessly scrolling through short videos hours later?
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.

### 1/5 — 垃圾骗子 app

*2026-08-29*

购买界面显示免费体验 7天，结果直接悄悄扣费了！！！

### 5/5 — 就是要那种自己没法取消的。

*2026-08-04*

之前设想的应用锁是那种，超过时间，直接隐藏那个APP的桌面图标。想打开都打开不了，这种强制性限制才有意义。如果用户自己可以输入密码取消限制，那样压根不起作用。

### 5/5 — 真的有用！

*2026-07-13*

对于超级没有自控力的我太有用了，就需要这种直接强制锁手机的。急的抓耳挠腮也没法解锁，用了几天习惯了，自己每次打开抖音都想着省着点用，不然蹲坑没得玩儿了 😂 有了这心理，居然有时候一天的额度都没用完！
