## What is Before You Buy!?

A quick reality check before you buy.

When you’re about to spend money, you usually don’t need a full budgeting app. You need one clear answer.

Before You Buy! gives you that answer instantly:

• Safe
• Risky
• Not a great idea

Enter the item price, and the app evaluates the purchase against your monthly income, expenses, savings, and work-time impact. You also get plain-language insights that make the decision feel real, not abstract.

What you’ll see
• % of your monthly free cash this purchase uses
• Days/hours of work it represents
• Estimated savings left after buying
• Optional lifespan and cost-per-use breakdown

Built for speed and simplicity
• One-screen flow
• No login required
• No bank connection needed
• No ads, no clutter
• Fully offline, on-device only

If you’ve ever asked, “Is this a smart buy right now?” this app is for you.
