How do I make the pause appear on its own?

Small Planet uses an automation in Apple's Shortcuts app. Open Shortcuts, tap Automation, then + and App. Pick your treat apps (like Uber Eats or Amazon), keep Is Opened, choose Run Immediately, tap Next, and add Small Planet's Quick pause action. The app shows these steps too: on the home screen, tap Show me how.

The pause didn't show up. Why?

It appears at most once every few hours (you can change this in Settings), so browsing doesn't trigger it again and again. If you tap “Not this time” three times in a row, it backs off to once every two days. Check that the automation is set to Run Immediately.

Does Small Planet take my money?

No. Your tab is just a note of what you'd like to give. When you settle up, you donate on the charity's own website, and they send your receipt. We never see card details.

Where do the impact numbers come from?

They're rough, rounded estimates in the range GiveWell publishes (for example, about $6 for one bed net delivered by the Against Malaria Foundation). Last checked November 2026.

How do I delete my data?

In the iPhone app: Settings, then Erase all my data. The app keeps everything on your iPhone, so deleting the app removes it too. For your giving tab on the website, email us and we'll delete it. See our privacy page.
