Description
Pause for a Cause helps you stop wasting time in apps that aren't making you happy, and raises money for great causes along the way.

Pick the apps you find addicting and wish you spent less time on (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, whatever your weakness is). When you reach for one, Pause for a Cause overlays a calm "Take a moment. Is this necessary?" screen first. You then have a choice:

• Watch a short video ad. The proceeds fund the charity you picked.
• Or just go back home and not open the app.

Research shows that adding a moment of pause before opening gives you an opportunity to be more thoughtful about your decision, and avoid acting on reflex.

Every ad you watch is logged against your account, climbs the weekly Tab for a Cause leaderboard, and converts directly into a contribution to your chosen cause. We support 10+ causes including Reproductive Health, Global Health, Disaster Relief, Ending Hunger, Ending Poverty, and animal welfare.

WHY IT WORKS
• It's the friction that's missing. Most "block distracting apps" tools either nag you with a notification (easy to ignore) or hard-block the app (so frustrating you turn the tool off). Pause for a Cause forces a small pause and gives you an escape hatch that actually does some good.
• It's positive. You're not punishing yourself. Every accidental open becomes a few cents for a real cause.
• It works system-wide. No need to switch browsers, no need to disable notifications, no profile or VPN trickery.

YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL
• You can change which apps are blocked at any time.
• You can change your cause any time from Settings.
• We only collect what we need to credit your impact to the right cause.

Pause for a Cause is built by Gladly, the team behind Tab for a Cause and App for a Cause. We've raised millions of dollars for charity by turning everyday digital moments into giving. This is the same idea, on your phone, in the moments you'd rather take back.

Comments on Pause for a Cause for Android

★★★★★ Alex Groth · May 22, 2026
Broke my TikTok addiction while raising a few $s for Give Directly :)
★★★★★ Katherine Hagemeyer · Jun 24, 2026
Does exactly what it says - lets you pick a cause and watch ads to interrupt your habit of opening the same app over and over. Easy to change the settings by going back to this app, can change causes after initial setup, and can even disable the ad part if you just want a free app timer. Having ads interrupt me has been a great deterrent from other apps that want me to use them, so I'm hopeful this will help break my bad habits!
★★★★★ Star · Jun 20, 2026
Good app, just as advertised. I do wish there were more settings that I could update. Specifically when it comes to how long you can use an app before watching another ad, I wish I could change that to be unique for different apps, rather than just setting all apps to one time.
★☆☆☆☆ Réka D · Jul 17, 2026
Wish there was an option to have the ads only after some time, but not on opening. Also wish it had more causes from outside US
