Almost perfect

Almost perfect, but catch-up check ins should count towards your streak.

Love this app!

Super user-friendly and very helpful as someone who impulse buys on the regular

Good app

Love the app but I have one input! I see that there’s a free version and the paid version. As a person who’s trying to reduce the spending (and as would the majority of the users be) I would not consider paying regular subscription. I can absolutely see the value in one time payment and would pay for it, but the subscription-based model is basically the opposite of the ethos of the app (at least in my mind). Overall, thanks for the app and thanks for providing a free version too. :)

Glad someone finally made this

I didn’t think an app like this existed, which caused me to rely on either tracker apps or apps made for substance addictions. I would switch between those apps plus my notes app with journal prompts to help me filter through purchases. This app has everything I need, including some of the prompts I’ve seen on Reddit forums. I’m really glad this app was made because it’s helpful to those specifically with overspending and overconsumption issues. It’s been eye opening and super helpful.

A MUST for all those who want to save!

I needed an app like this, and this was fully what I was looking for! The app is clean, simple, and easy to use. I’ve already saved so much money, and being able to track my progress with this app has been the biggest motivator.

Amazing

I have a shopping problem, and I’ve always struggled to control impulse buying tied to my emotions. This app has seriously helped me so much, it helps me actually visualize how much money im saving, and the wishlist feature is awesome with the timer. I love how adding a link puts the picture of what you want on the entry, it’s pretty and so easy to visualize everything. Truly an amazing passion project app, I recommend it to my fellow shopaholics-in-recovery all the time!

exactly what i was looking for!!

such a seamless, simple app. i love the interface and how it works!!

Love this app

This is so nice. Minimal, nice color scheme, and as a visual person, nice to see the streak of no spend days! The verbiage in the app is very kind and supportive, no shaming for breaking a streak. Thank you for creating this!

So useful to visualize everything

I’m very excited to keep using this app moving forward into the new year to help keep track of how impulsively I want to spend. I am trying to move away from consumption as a lifestyle.

Amazing tool!

This is great! I love this app.

This app has changed my spending habits

For the first month, I was able to see exactly how much money I didn’t spend on things I wanted. It really helps me pause before I buy. Download it if you want to be more disciplined in your spending.

Love this app!

This app has been super helpful for me in my No buy journey. It’s very simple and has exactly what I need to track my progress.

Amazing app for a 2026 no buy

I’ve been using this app for 2 months now and it does exactly what I need it to - it lets me upload pictures of items I didn’t buy but wanted to and track the money saved as a result. It also lets me track no spend days and create wishlists. I enjoy supporting this independent app/passion project and the lovely creator and developer, Kat - I’ve sent some app recommendations and Kat has been very responsive to my feedback! Must have for your no-buy or low-buy 2026! Thank you, Kat!

Great app

I wish there was a way to delete a goal. I tried submitting a feature request on the app but I am unable to verify my email address with the verification code provided. Thank you.

helps reduce impulse purchases

I really like the minimalist and straight forward approached the app. It’s easy to use, and I appreciate how it’s free (unlike other apps), so that you’re not spending money on while trying to save money.

I do think it would be helpful to be able to select what kind of item something is (clothes, books, etc), but the app is wonderful the way it is!

Cute & Simple

Love how this app is simple & cute! I like the ability to customize what purchases you’re avoiding (ex. Buying coffee out, shopping, etc.).

Highly recommended!

Very helpful and allows me to track my impulse spending and progress towards a frugal lifestyle

Fantastic Tracker

I’ve been looking to keep track of no buy / low buy days to reduce the amount of impulse buys I make. I love the no-buy item reflection section where I can add items that tempted me and can then deinfluence myself why I don’t need it. It also gives me the option to look back at those items if I do find myself wanting to purchase something, so I can prioritize buying something I’ve really thought over and not an impulse buy.

Simple and effective

Won’t replace actual budgeting but it’s a good log for shopaholics who are guilty of forgetting how often they treat themselves.
