About
Cart Pause puts a cooldown between wanting something and buying it. Scan a barcode in-store, or
share a product link while you're browsing online — either way, the item goes into your cart with a
timer, not your actual shopping cart.
SCAN, SHARE, OR BOTH
Point the camera at a barcode in-store, or share a link to anything from Safari or a shopping app
straight into Cart Pause. Either way, you land on the same "Worth It?" screen before it's saved.
SEE THE REAL COST
Enter a price and see it two ways: how many hours of your own work it costs, based on your wage, and
what that same money could grow into if invested instead, based on a return rate you set. Both are
simple estimates from your own numbers, not financial advice.
PAUSE IT, DON'T JUST DECIDE NOW
Buy it, discard it, or pause it with a cooldown — 24 hours up to a month. If you pause, a local
reminder pings you exactly when the cooldown ends so the decision doesn't just get forgotten.
GOALS, BUDGETS, AND BILLS
Set savings goals and watch what you resist buying count toward them. Track monthly spending by
category, set limits, keep an eye on recurring bills, and run the classic 100 Envelope Challenge.
KEEP SCORE
A no-buy streak, a calendar of resisted-vs-bought days, and milestones for hitting savings and streak
targets. Put your running total on a TV over AirPlay for a big, satisfying number at the end of the
month.
YOUR NUMBERS STAY YOURS
Your item history, goals and budgets are stored on your device.
OPTIONAL PRO
A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited savings goals and category budgets. View the current price before purchasing, or restore an eligible earlier purchase. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase-related information to provide and restore Pro access.
RETURN NOW
Keep retailer and order links, capture a receipt, and confirm the return deadline with the retailer. Track drop-off and refunds, request local reminders, and use a time-limited Live Activity during a return trip. Links do not calculate a retailer’s return policy automatically.
