## What is Impulse?

Every price has a hidden cost: your time.

Impulse converts what you're about to buy into the hours of work it takes to earn it, instantly. Enter a price, see the real cost in work-time and percentage of your income, and decide with clarity instead of impulse.

HOW IT WORKS
- Enter any price and see it converted to hours (and minutes) of your work
- See what percentage of your weekly income the purchase represents
- Not sure yet? Defer the decision. Revisit in 10 minutes or tomorrow
- Get a gentle reminder notification when it's time to decide
- Log what you skip and watch your saved hours and money add up

WIDGETS
- Quick Price Check: a tappable keypad right on your Home Screen, no need to open the app
- Time Kept: see your saved hours and money at a glance
- Spending Breakdown: category by category view of where deferred purchases came from (Pro)
- Weekly Time Kept: lock screen gauge tracking your week

WHY IMPULSE
Impulse isn't a budgeting app or a spending tracker. It's a pause button, a few extra seconds of perspective before you buy, framed in the currency that actually matters: your time.

PRIVACY FIRST
All your data stays on your device. No account, no server, no sign-in. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

- One-time purchase, yours forever, no subscription
