Holdoff: Impulse Buy Blocker

Do you buy things you regret later?
Holdoff gives you a 72-hour cooling period before every purchase — so your impulses fade before your money does.
Pause. Reflect. Decide.

Most impulse purchases are regretted within 24 hours. Holdoff is built around one simple truth: if you still want it after 72 hours, it's probably worth buying.
How It Works
Add any item you're tempted to buy. Holdoff starts a 72-hour cooling timer. During that time, you track your desire daily, reflect on why you want it, and see its real cost in hours worked — not just dollars spent. When the timer ends, you decide with a clear head.

Every item gets a mandatory waiting period. Most impulses fade before it ends.
Trigger Analysis
Know why you're buying — stress, boredom, or an ad. Understanding your pattern is the first step to breaking it.
Cost in Hours
See every price in work hours, not money. $150 suddenly feels very different as "15 hours of your life."

Who Is Holdoff For?
Anyone who buys things in the moment and regrets them later. People who struggle with stress shopping, boredom buying, or sale FOMO. Those who want to spend intentionally — without giving up the things they truly want.
Holdoff doesn't tell you not to buy. It just makes you wait.
