## What is Don't Buy It?

Don't Buy It is a private, device-first tool that helps you pause before a purchase. Add something you are tempted to buy, give yourself time, then record what happened. If you skip it, mark the item as resisted. If you choose a cheaper alternative, record the planned and actual prices to track the difference.

Key features:
• Keep a list of purchases you are considering
• Track money not spent by week, month, quarter, year, or all time
• Record cheaper alternatives and actual amounts paid
• Review decisions and saved amounts on a calendar
• Preview complete reports, save long images, and use system sharing
• Support multiple currencies and manual exchange rates
• Use Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, or Korean
• Keep records on your device by default

Don't Buy It is not about never spending. It helps separate an impulse from something you genuinely need.
