## What is Do I Need It?

Do I Need It? is the fun, mindful way to stop impulse buying and finally save for the things you *really* want.

Simply set your “Ultimate Goal Item,” then let the app guide you every time you’re tempted by something unexpected.

Whenever you’re about to make a purchase, open the app and answer a short, thoughtful series of questions—guided by one of five friendly mascots. Together, they’ll help you decide whether the item is truly worth buying.

If you choose *not* to buy the impulse item, its cost gets added to your **Goal Balance**. When your savings reach the price of your dream item, you’re ready to finally buy it—guilt free.
What You Can Do?:

- Set your Ultimate Goal Item
    
    Add an image, name, and cost of something you really want.
    
- Answer mindful shopping questions
    
    Your mascots help you reflect on the value, usefulness, and emotional impulse.
    
- Track your growing Goal Balance
    
    Every skipped impulse purchase becomes real savings.
    
- Watch your dream item get closer
    
    Fun animations and progress visuals keep you motivated.
    
- Build better spending habits
    
    Turn impulsive moments into intentional choices.
    

Whether you’re saving for something big or simply trying to spend more mindfully, Do I Need It? gives you a simple, playful way to stay on track.
