No Impulse Buys – Pause First

Do you buy things you had not planned – and regret them a day later? No Impulse Buys helps you pause before you pay. The app shows how long you have gone without an impulse buy, how many items you did not buy and how much money and time you have kept. And when a tempting offer hits, it helps you wait.

⏱️ YOUR IMPULSE-BUY-FREE TIMER
• Live timer in days, hours, minutes and seconds – just swipe
• Start now or enter when you last bought something on impulse
• Always see your next goal, with a progress bar
• Home screen widget with your free days and time won back

❤️ YOUR PROGRESS, STEP BY STEP
• 11 milestones from 24 hours to 1 year on a timeline – from spotting the trigger and the pause rule to savings you can see, a month of wants vs. needs and a year of mindful spending
• Every milestone explained in plain words – with practical tips on what you can do yourself
• Know what to expect: urges come in waves and usually fade
• If you like, a short notification as soon as you reach the next milestone
• Based on a 2024 systematic review of 29 studies on online impulse buying (Kumar, Poudyal & Chaurasia) and early experimental evidence on delaying purchases (Moser, University of Michigan dissertation) – early evidence, not a guarantee; there are no fixed timelines, so milestones are orientation, not promises

• Craving helper with guided breathing – most urges fade within minutes
• Practical tips: a wish list instead of the cart, wait 24 hours, remove saved card details, unsubscribe from promotions

Important: Impulse buying is not a medical diagnosis, and this app is not financial advice. It is for people who want to buy on purpose; it sells nothing, is not affiliated with any shop or marketplace and does not replace professional advice. If buying feels out of control, you are getting into debt or money makes you anxious or hopeless, talk to a doctor, a counselling service or a free debt advice service. All values are estimates.
