unbought

unbought - quit shopping

add the thing you want. set a wait. keep the money.

most impulse buys die if you give them a minute.

unbought makes you wait for as long as you choose - before you can buy.

add anything you're tempted by, set a wait period (a day, a week, 30 days, longer), and watch how often the urge passes.

if you still want it when the timer runs out, buy it with confidence. that's the whole loop.

built for people tired of impulse buys, midnight scrolling on shopping apps, and the slow drip of "treat yourself" purchases that pile up unloved.

the wait

every wish gets a countdown. you choose how long.

a day for the small stuff, a month for the big stuff, however long you need for the things you really shouldn't be buying.

no urgency. no nagging notifications.

the app's only job is to slow you down until the urge passes. and most of the time, it does.

the voice

a bot that's read your wishlist and isn't impressed.

tap "the voice" and it tells you, in plain words, why you don't need this thing.

specific to the item. occasionally savage. surprisingly hard to argue with.

the closest thing to a friend who'll say no for you.

money saved

every item you skip becomes money you kept.

unbought tallies what you didn't spend — this month, this year, ever.

the pile grows fast.

returns reminder

if you do buy something, unbought tracks your return window and pings you before it closes — with the same honest question: do you actually want this, or can the money come back?

returns are a second decision, and most people miss the window by accident.

unbought makes sure you don't.

post-purchase check-in

a week after you buy, unbought asks: was it worth it?

over time you start to see the pattern of what you regret — and the wait gets easier.

reflection prompts

quick questions when you add something.

do you already own something similar? will this matter in a month?

not a quiz. just enough friction to interrupt the loop.

price tracking

paste a link and unbought watches the price during the wait.

useful for telling "i want this" apart from "i want a deal."

quit shopping. add it, wait, walk away.
