Wait Before You Buy

New Year, new savings! Start 2026 with better spending habits. Add items, wait, decide — and watch your savings grow.

Stop impulse buying. Start saving money.

Ever bought something online and regretted it the next day? You're not alone — 50% of people make purchases they later wish they hadn't.

Wait Before You Buy uses a simple, proven strategy: add a waiting period before any purchase. When you're tempted to buy something, add it to the app and set a timer — 24 hours, 7 days, or even 30 days. When the time's up, we'll ask you one question: "Do you still want this?"

Most of the time, you won't. And that's money saved.

How it works:

1. See something you want to buy? Add it to the app instead of your cart
2. Set a waiting period (24 hours to 30 days)
3. Watch your progress bar fill up as you wait
4. When time's up, decide: Skip it or Buy it
5. Track how much money you've saved by not buying

Features:

• Customizable waiting periods (24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, 30 days) • Visual progress tracking • Total savings calculator • Skip streak to keep you motivated • Categories to organize your temptations • Save product links so you don't forget what caught your eye • Clean, beautiful interface • All data stays on your device — no account required

Why it works:

The "30-day rule" is a proven personal finance strategy. When you delay a purchase, the emotional urge fades, and you can make a rational decision. Studies show that waiting just 24 hours is often enough to avoid regret.
