Store listing
By Jani Godari, from the App StoreDescription by Jani Godari Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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.
