CartPause: Stop Impulse Buys

Stop impulse spending. Start saving.

CartPause puts a pause between "I want it" and "I bought it." Share any item from any store, set a timer, and see if you still want it once the urge fades.

Most impulse buys don't survive the wait. That's the whole idea.

HOW IT WORKS See something you want? Tap Share → CartPause Product name, price, and image are captured automatically Choose your pause: 72, 48 or 24 hours When the timer ends, you decide: buy it, or keep the money

No budget to build. No spreadsheets. No willpower required.
