PauseBuy: Stop Impulse Buying

Stop impulse buying before it happens.

PauseBuy is a shopping blocker and mindful spending app that helps you pause before opening shopping apps like Amazon, Temu, SHEIN, Walmart, eBay, ASOS, and more.

Still have something in a bag you haven't worn? Another package you forgot you ordered?

PauseBuy puts a small barrier between the urge to shop and the purchase, giving you time to ask: Do I actually need this?

HOW PAUSEBUY WORKS

When you try to open a protected shopping app, PauseBuy steps in first.

Before you shop, you can:

• Take a short mindful pause
• Slow down and breathe
• Reflect on how you're feeling
• Answer quick questions about the purchase
• Continue shopping or step away

Instead of relying on willpower after you've already started scrolling, PauseBuy helps interrupt the impulse earlier.

BLOCK SHOPPING APPS

Choose the shopping apps that tempt you most and add a pause before opening them.

PauseBuy works with popular shopping apps including:

• Temu
• SHEIN

SAVE IT FOR LATER

Want something but aren't sure you need it?

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE

PauseBuy uses the Android AccessibilityService API to detect when you open shopping apps that you have selected within PauseBuy. This allows PauseBuy to display a mindful check-in before you continue, helping you pause, reflect, and make a more intentional purchasing decision.

The AccessibilityService is used only to support PauseBuy's app-blocking and mindful check-in features. PauseBuy does not use this permission to change device settings, perform actions on your behalf, or access passwords, payment information, messages, or other personal content.

You decide which apps PauseBuy monitors, and Accessibility access can be disabled at any time in your device settings.
