Ernie: Stop Impulse Buys

That $200 jacket isn't just $200. It's 8 hours of your life.

Ernie shows what things really cost: the hours you worked to pay for them. Then he helps you sleep on it, so you only buy what you'd still want tomorrow.

Free. No account. No ads. Your numbers stay on your phone.

HOW IT WORKS
• Check a price. Type it in, or share any product page to Ernie from Safari. See it in hours of your work, and what it could grow into if you invested it instead.
• Sleep on it. Save it to Maybe Later and pick when Ernie should check in: tomorrow, in a few days, or any time you choose.
• Decide with a clear head. Still want it? Buy it guilt-free. Changed your mind? It counts as saved.

NOT A NO-SPEND APP
Ernie isn't here to make you feel bad about buying things. He's here for the gap between wanting something and paying for it. Most urges don't survive the night.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No sign-up, no bank login, no ads, no subscription. Your pay, your birthday and everything you check stay on your device. An app about keeping your money shouldn't ask for any of it.
