## Description

Meet Piggy Pause — the cutest way to stop impulse shopping. <br>  <br>  When you feel the urge to buy something you don&#39;t need, open Piggy Pause. A friendly little pig helps you slow down, breathe, and<br>  remember what you&#39;re really saving for — so you keep more of your own money.<br>  <br>  WHAT YOU CAN DO<br>  • Tap the pig when you&#39;re tempted — it gently talks you out of it with rotating, encouraging messages<br>  • Breathe for 20 seconds with a calming animation before you decide<br>  • Log what you resisted — your savings grow toward real goals (a trip, a car, anything)<br>  • Set multiple goals and watch each one fill up<br>  • Choose your currency and your own pause message<br>  • See your weekly recap — pauses won and money kept<br>  • Optional: let the pig step in automatically when you open a shopping cart, and lock a shop after too many visits in a day<br>  <br>  WHY IT WORKS<br>  Piggy Pause adds a small, kind moment of friction between you and &quot;buy.&quot; That pause is enough to break the impulse — and every time<br>  you resist, the money you didn&#39;t spend stays yours.<br>  <br>  Piggy Pause doesn&#39;t give you money or rewards. It simply helps you spend less and save more, on purpose.<br>  <br>  • Works in 11 languages<br>  • Private by design — your data stays on your device<br>  • No account, no ads<br>♿ Accessibility notice: Piggy Pause uses Android&#39;s AccessibilityService API to<br>power its optional auto-block feature. With your permission, the service detects<br>which app is open and the web address shown in your browser, only to display a<br>pause reminder when you open a shopping app or a shopping-cart page. Everything<br>happens on your device: Piggy Pause does not collect, store, or share any data,<br>and your screen content never leaves your phone. You can turn the service off<br>anytime in Android Settings → Accessibility.<br><br>  Start saving with a little pig on your side. 🐷
