## What is Buy or Not?

BuyOrNot helps you think before you buy by showing you what the price tag doesn't: how much of your work time each thing really costs.

HOW IT WORKS
Enter your net salary and weekly hours once. From then on, whenever you're on the fence about a purchase, type in the price and BuyOrNot instantly tells you how many days, hours and minutes of work it costs you.

KEY FEATURES
- Work-time calculator: turns any price into real time out of your life
- Defer purchase: start a countdown before buying something — once it hits zero, you'll have "earned" it with your time
- No-spend streak: track how long you've gone without impulse buys, with milestones to unlock
- History: every decision you've made (bought and skipped), with your total money saved
- Monthly spending limit: get warned if a purchase would push you over it
- Home screen widget: your streak always visible, no need to open the app
- Statistics: spent vs saved, average savings, best streak and more

PRIVACY FIRST
All your data (salary, purchases, history) stays on your device only. It's never sent to any server or shared with anyone.

BuyOrNot Pro unlocks unlimited deferred purchases, detailed statistics, and the Pro widget.
