Pawse puts a 24-hour speed bump between you and the buy button. The urge hits, you open Pawse, answer six honest questions, and the item goes on ice. Tomorrow you decide. Most of the time, you won't even want it anymore.
And you won't do it alone. Meet Banjo: a platypus, a former accountant, and the most invested money guardian you've ever had. He celebrates every walkaway, keeps the books on every dollar you didn't spend, and never makes you feel bad about a slip.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Feel the urge? Open Pawse and run the quiz: six quick questions about the item.
2. Get a verdict: intentional, on the fence, or impulse risk.
3. File it. The item enters a cooling-off period (1 hour to 7 days, your call).
4. When the timer ends, decide with a clear head: buy it, or walk away and bank the win.
WHAT YOU GET
- The impulse quiz and cooling-off waitlist, with live countdowns on your home screen
- Walkaway tracking: every dollar you didn't spend, written down
- A daily streak and a control score that grows as your discipline does
- Savings goals that fill up automatically from your walkaways
- Daily habit tracker for the small recurring buys (the coffee, the delivery, the little ones that add up)
- Patterns: six analytics views of your spending mind, including your peak urge hours, mood spending, day-of-week leaks, and category trends
- Banjo with memory: he remembers your history and talks to you about your real numbers
- Smart reminders: streak protection, paycheck-awareness alerts, a weekly Sunday recap, and a nudge before your most dangerous hour
- Lock-screen quick actions to log wins without opening the app
- 7 display currencies
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone whose cart fills up faster than their savings. Late-night scrollers. Stress shoppers. Payday splurgers. If you know the buys you'll regret before you make them, Pawse is the pause you've been missing.
No bank connections, ever. Everything in Pawse is self-reported and private. No ads, no data sold, no tracking SDKs.
