## Description

Impulse purchases don’t happen because you need something.
They happen because of a moment.

Not Yet helps you pause that moment — and decide later, when it matters.

Instead of tracking budgets or telling you what to do, Not Yet adds a short cooling-off period before a purchase and captures how you felt when you wanted it. When the wait ends, you choose — calmly and intentionally. No accounts, no onboarding, straight to the point.

How it works
• Add something you want to buy
• Optionally attach a link or images to remember exactly what caught your eye
• Choose a short delay (24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days)
• Capture what’s driving the urge
• Wait — the item is locked
• Decide later: buy it, skip it, or wait longer

You can edit items at any time — update the price, notes, links, or images as your thinking changes.

When you decide not to buy, you’ll see exactly what you avoided spending — a small but satisfying reminder.

Why Not Yet is different

Most apps remind you what you wanted.
Not Yet reminds you how you felt.

By replaying the emotional context — bored, stressed, excited, fear of missing out — the impulse often loses its power. What felt urgent rarely feels the same a few days later.

No lectures.
No guilt.
No pressure.

Just space to think.

Designed to feel calm
• Minimal, distraction-free interface
• No accounts or sign-in
• No ads
• No clutter
• Local-first and private

Helpful, not obsessive
• Gentle notifications at decision time
• Simple stats that show what you didn’t buy
• No charts or dashboards

Not a budgeting app.
Not a finance tracker.
Just a better moment to decide.

Free vs Premium

Not Yet is fully usable for free.

The free version includes:
• Up to 3 active waiting items
• Standard waiting periods (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days)
• Attach links and images to purchases
• Edit purchases at any time
• Full decision flow and summaries
• Decision reminders
• All data stored locally on your device

Not Yet Premium unlocks:
• Unlimited active waiting items
• Custom waiting durations — choose any time that fits your decision
• Support ongoing development of the app

Premium is optional.
There are no ads, no accounts, and no data tracking — whether you upgrade or not.

Not Yet — because some things are better bought later.
