# 先别买 — Cooling-off for impulse buys > Cooling-off for impulse buys (iPhone/iPad app by 剑锋 易.) - Source: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id6806693795 (this page in markdown: same URL + `.md`) - Developer: [剑锋 易](https://appshunter.io/developer/1889975897) - Category: Lifestyle, Business - Price: Free - Rating: 5.00/5 from 1 App Store ratings - Age rating: 4+ - Requires: iOS 17.0 · 4 MB - Languages: American English, Chinese (Simplified, China) - Released: 2026-09-10 - Data updated: 2026-10-03 ## What is 先别买? You know the feeling. You scroll past something late at night, want it more the longer you look, and order it. Three days later you open the box and pause: why did I want this? XianBieMai does one simple thing: it stops the purchase, waits a few days, and asks you again. - Three steps, ten seconds 1 Copy the link to whatever you want, open the app 2 Write one line: why do I want this? — this step is the whole product 3 Wait. When the timer runs out, the app comes back and asks - That one line is usually enough On the day it expires you don't see a product photo. You see what you wrote a few days earlier: "Saw someone shoot breakfast with it" "It was on sale, felt like a waste not to" "The old one broke — well, it still works actually" Most impulses don't survive a week. You don't need to be talked out of it. You just need to read yourself again. - The more it costs, the longer you wait Under ¥100 3 days ¥100 – 500 7 days ¥500 – 2,000 14 days Over ¥2,000 21 days Sorted automatically by price. All four tiers are editable in Settings. Edits apply to new items only — things already waiting keep the deadline they were given, so changing 21 days to 3 won't make a pile of items expire in the same second. Note: amounts are shown in CNY (¥). - It only counts what you didn't buy The home screen says "you held off on ¥12,830 this year" — not "you saved ¥12,830". Saved implies you came out ahead, and that isn't honest; the money might never have been spent. Held off states one fact: you did not buy these things. Things you did buy are counted, but never added up in money. This app is not here to make you feel bad about what you bought. - One extension, and only one The second time an item expires there are two options left: drop it, or buy it. Unlimited snoozing turns this into a wishlist, and a wishlist is how this kind of app dies. - Getting things in · Copy a link, open the app, tap paste at the top · Share to XianBieMai from another app's share sheet · Add it by hand — every field is optional - Also · Home screen widget: see the number without opening the app · Expiry reminders are local notifications, never routed through a server · Turning notifications off costs you nothing — expired items queue up and ask you the next time you open the app · Universal: iPhone and iPad - Privacy No server, no account, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Everything stays on your device. Delete the app and it's gone — there is no copy anywhere else. Links are parsed on-device and never uploaded; the app never fetches the product page. The clipboard is checked for one thing only — whether a link is present — and never read. Actually reading it takes a tap on the system paste button. - Pricing v1.0 is completely free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no paywall, no ads. A future v1.1 plans to add a one-time ¥10 unlock, but if you install now you keep everything free, permanently. That isn't marketing copy: the app records its build number on first launch and decides from that — no sign-in required, and it survives changing phones. ## Is 先别买 safe?

Now you see the whole page first, and tap when you're ready to write. · The keyboard closes again Tap Done above it, press return, or tap any empty part of the page. The price field uses the number pad, which has no return key at all — before this, that was a dead end. · The page scrolls Whatever the keyboard covers is one swipe away, and the page steps aside while you fill in the price. · The two icons in the top corner tell you what they are Press and hold either one: "Paste a shopping link" or "Settings". That paste icon gets read as copy more often than not. · Fixed: pasting a long reason with a line break in it could slip past the 30-character limit. ### 1.0 — 2026-09-09 No release notes. ## Apps similar to 先别买 | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [成功日记 MicroWins](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/microwins/id6764057863) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [GLOWD: Face Score & Glow Up](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/glowd-face-score-and-glow-up/id6760931929) | 4.0 (5) | Free | Lifestyle | | [askr: Question Away Stress](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/askr-question-away-stress/id6763652153) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [PlantPix-拍摄识别植物&花卉](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/plantpix-and/id6747803378) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [FocusRuler](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/focusruler/id6751259978) | 5.0 (3) | Free | Lifestyle | | [团纸日记-把生活写成一本书](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id1522401077) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Lifestyle | ## More apps by 剑锋 易 - [QuietTalkForiphone](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/quiettalkforiphone/id6772378470) - [CityTrace – Travel Map`](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/citytrace-travel-map/id6777405196) - [CookWhat](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cookwhat/id6779824092) - [Flip It: Decision Maker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/flip-it-decision-maker/id6782891429) - [Shuaji - Word Doc Quiz Maker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shuaji-word-doc-quiz-maker/id6792256263) - [He Apologised: Stress Relief](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/he-apologised-stress-relief/id6799630172) All apps by 剑锋 易: https://appshunter.io/developer/1889975897 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
