Description by Jani Godari(from the App Store)
Pause before you spend, and keep more of what you earn.
HoldUp turns every price into the hours you worked to pay for it. A $120 jacket at $20 an hour is 6 hours of your life, and the decision feels different. Then it gives you simple tools to wait, skip and save.
See the real cost Type a price and see it in hours of work at your own wage, with a clear verdict from Easy Buy to Major Decision. HoldUp also shows what the same money could grow into if you invested it instead. Don't know your hourly rate? Work it out from your yearly salary.
Put the urge on a timer Start a cooldown of 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. When it ends, HoldUp asks: still want it? Skip it and the money counts as saved, or buy it knowing you really want it.
Watch every no add up Every skipped purchase goes into your savings: this week, this month and in total, in money and in hours of freedom. Check in on consecutive days to build a streak, with a freeze for the day life gets in the way.
Fund your goals Set goals like a trip, a new laptop or an emergency fund. Skip a purchase and HoldUp puts it toward the goal closest to done, or add money with one tap.
See what subscriptions really cost List your recurring charges and see the monthly and yearly total, and how many days a year you work just to pay for them.
Know your patterns After a cooldown, a short journal asks how you felt and what triggered the urge. With HoldUp Pro, pattern insights show the things you keep coming back to this month, and what a month of saying no was worth.
More tools - Quick Check for a fast verdict on any price - Compare two items in money and work time - Currency converter with live rates for 147 currencies - Wishlist that flags items worth a second look after a week - 100 Envelope Challenge with HoldUp Pro: save $1 to $100, $5,050 in total - 18 badges to earn, and a share card with your total saved and streak - Daily money tips, reminders and a weekly summary - Dark mode and 15 languages
