## What is Didn’t Buy It?

Stop impulse purchases from becoming instant purchases.

Didn’t Buy It gives you a calm place to pause something you want, choose a cooling-off period, and decide later—after the urgency, sale pressure or social-media influence has passed.

PAUSE BEFORE YOU PURCHASE

Add the item, record its price and choose a 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day pause. Didn’t Buy It keeps the decision waiting and can remind you when it is time to reconsider.

MAKE A CLEAR DECISION

When the timer ends, choose:

• I’m not buying it
• I bought it
• I need more time

There is no guilt and no forced “perfect streak.” The goal is to make purchases deliberately rather than automatically.

SEE WHAT YOU AVOIDED

Track:

• Spending you chose not to make
• Purchases reconsidered
• Reconsideration rate
• Common categories and triggers
• Monthly progress
• Challenges and milestones

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your purchase ideas and decisions stay on your device. No account is required. You can protect the app with Face ID or your device passcode, control notification privacy, export your records and delete everything at any time.

Didn’t Buy It does not connect to your bank, move money or provide financial advice. It is a simple behavioural tool for creating space between wanting something and buying it.
