## What is mora?

Mora is the pause to help you be mindful about your spending. 

A simple tool that asks one question before you buy: do you actually want this, or did the algorithm decide for you?

Log what you're tempted to buy. 
Write down what you're feeling.
Set a pause: 24 hours, 48 hours, a week, more.
Come back when the moment has passed.

Most of the time? You won't want it anymore.

______

DECISIONS

Every impulse buy starts as a thought. Mora catches it before
it becomes a purchase. 

Log the item, the price, where you saw it and how long you want to wait.
Add a note on what's pulling you in. Then let time do its work.
______

PATTERN

Track your no-buy days. Watch your streaks grow, as a record of your own intention.
The calendar shows you what's already working.
______

CLARITY

See what you kept, only items you genuinely chose not to buy count toward your total.
And when you have enough decisions logged, Clarity shows you where your impulses actually come from. Instagram, late at night.
TikTok, Sunday afternoons. The pattern is always there.

You just needed a place to see it.
______

SHIELD

Shield puts a pause screen on your trigger apps. 
So before you open your fav social media app and end up buying something, you stop. 
You think. 
You decide.
______

Mora is for anyone doing a no-buy challenge, trying a shopping detox, or simply tired of impulse spending on things they didn't
really want. It's about spending on what matters to you.

### 4/5 — solid, simple, exactly what you expect

*2026-05-14*

first impression: solid app that does what it claims to in a very simple manner. Clean interface and easy to navigate. Kind of feels like it’s built by the Claude AI with the minimalistic style choices it has. A bug I found: after adding new “where did you see it” options and selecting one of those for a new decision, all the active pauses will default to the “just browsing” option despite having not selected a custom option.

**Developer response:** Hello and first of all, thank you! this is the very first review Mora has ever received, so it genuinely means a lot. And i'm going to be honest, yes, it was vibe-coded. That was the only way I could ship an app without spending all my savings.

Regarding the bug, I will fix it in the next update. Thanks for being specific enough to make it easy to diagnose, that kind of feedback is exactly what helps the app to get better!

Best,
Julie
