SpendCalm: Stop Impulse Buying

Pause urges before checkout, understand your spending triggers, track money kept, and build healthier shopping habits—without shame or complicated budgets.

Impulse purchases happen quickly. SpendCalm creates space between the urge and checkout—helping you understand what is driving the purchase, make a calmer decision, and see the money you keep.

A CALMER ALTERNATIVE TO COMPLICATED BUDGETING

SpendCalm focuses on the moment before an unplanned purchase. Set a realistic savings target, pause when an urge appears, and record what happens without guilt or judgement.

PERSONALISED TO YOUR PATTERNS

Reflect on what you buy, what triggers the urge, what feeling shopping promises, what compulsive spending affects, and what your savings could make possible.

SpendCalm uses your answers to offer more relevant prompts when you need them.

PAUSE BEFORE CHECKOUT

• Take a guided one-minute reset • Add purchases to a cooling-off period • Compare a purchase with your savings goal • Receive a reminder when it is time to reconsider • Return later and make an intentional decision

MAKE YOUR PROGRESS VISIBLE

• Track money kept today, this week, this month, and across your lifetime • Record purchases without connecting a bank account • Notice urges and identify recurring spending patterns • Work towards personalised milestones • Set daily, weekly, or monthly savings targets • Review the progress your small decisions create
