No Delivery: Order, Don't Pay

It looks like a food-delivery app. It is not one. It is also not a cooking game and not a budgeting app.

No Delivery is an app where the order never arrives. That failure is the entire product.

■ HOW THIS IS DIFFERENT

Delivery apps exist to complete a purchase. This app exists to abort one. No restaurant is ever contacted, no address is ever requested, and nothing is ever delivered.

Not a cooking or restaurant game. There is no cooking, no management, no upgrades, no score. There is no business to grow.

Not an idle game. Savings estimates are recorded when you complete virtual orders, based on their simulated prices.

Not a budgeting app. Budgeting apps tell you about money after it is gone. This one steps in at the moment you were about to spend it, and never touches a bank account.

■ HOW YOU USE IT

Open it late at night, when you are tired and you were about to open a real delivery app.

Pick a restaurant, add items and place an order. Watch the delivery move across the map. When it "arrives," nothing arrives. The app records estimated money and calories avoided, based on the virtual order.

Resisting is hard. Going through with it is easy.

■ WHAT IS INSIDE

Virtual ordering
Forty-six restaurants with 388 menu items, plus a separate convenience store with 100 products, prices and a working cart. All of it is invented.

Browse the convenience store
Explore 10 categories including snacks, drinks, ready meals, bakery items, ice cream, toiletries and household essentials. Each product has its own image. Search, choose quantities, combine products with food, or send a virtual gift to a friend. Household items do not contribute to calorie totals.

Watch the delivery
Order received → cooking or preparing products → on the way → saved. The artwork changes at each stage. The map is an illustration, not real geography.

Savings record
View estimated savings in 7-day and 30-day charts. Choose a weekly goal of 1, 3, or 5 saving days and review last week's record. Each day counts once toward your goal.

Sixteen collectible cards
Each card is hidden behind a silhouette that peels back one segment per virtual order. The face is revealed only at the very end.

Daily and monthly leaderboards
See who resisted best today.

Everyone's Reviews
Read what other people talked themselves out of, and post your own. Moderated with reporting and blocking.

Emoji photo reviews
Decorate the food you "ate" with emoji stickers. No camera required.

■ PRIVACY

We do not ask for your legal name, phone number, or address. It looks like a delivery app, but there is nothing to deliver, so there is no reason to collect any of it.

An account is required, because your savings history and cards need to follow you across devices, and because the leaderboard and public reviews need one. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Any nickname works as your display name.

You can delete your account inside the app: Settings → Account → Delete account.

Location permission is optional and used only for the device-map mode for your own orders. Coordinates stay on your device. The app does not use the camera or your photo library.

■ PURCHASES AND ADS

Everything works without paying. You get free gems every day, plus more for writing reviews and for referrals. The savings record, leaderboard, cards, and reviews are never behind a paywall.

You can buy gems, or buy Premium once to order without spending gems at all. Rewarded ads appear when you choose to watch one for gems. App-open ads may appear on eligible returns to the app, with frequency limits; they do not appear on cold launch or over ordering and delivery flows. There are no banner ads. Premium removes ads.

■ ONE LAST THING

Every restaurant, menu item, price, and rider is invented. No real brands appear. Virtual orders never purchase or deliver real food or goods.

The best meal is the one you did not order.
