## What is NoBuy?

Make not spending feel like winning.

You saw the video. Cash stuffing, No-Buy 2026, "I stopped impulse buying and saved $400." You don't need another budgeting app that feels like accounting homework — you need a game you can actually win.

NoBuy turns not spending into a streak you'll want to protect, a journey you can see, and a number you'll want to screenshot.

START IN UNDER 60 SECONDS
No account. No bank linking. Pick your challenge — No-Buy (strict, $0) or Low-Buy (flexible limits) — choose the spending categories you're cutting, set a reward for the finish line, and go.

ONE TAP A DAY
"Did you stay no-buy today?" That's the whole habit. Tap yes, watch your streak grow, and see the money you didn't spend add up.

A STREAK THAT FORGIVES
One bad day shouldn't erase thirty good ones. Slip up and NoBuy uses a freeze — your streak survives, your progress stays, and you keep going. No shame, no rage-quit, no starting over from zero.

WATCH YOUR PLANT GROW
Your hero grows with every no-buy day. Start with the sprout, or unlock the ring, jar, flame, and coin styles. Hit day 30 and you'll have living proof of your discipline.

THE NOBUY JOURNEY
Every day is a step on your road — no-spend wins, frozen days, spend logs, and your reward waiting at the finish. Customize your avatar, background, and path style, and scroll back through everything you've overcome.

DIGITAL CASH STUFFING
Envelopes for the categories you're cutting — takeout, clothes, impulse buys. Set a limit, log spending in seconds, and watch each envelope go green → amber → red before you overspend, not after.

SEE WHAT YOU SAVED
NoBuy estimates the money you didn't spend, based on your own typical spending. "Day 30 · $400 saved" hits different when it's yours.

SHARE THE WIN
Turn any milestone into a share card — days, streak, and money saved — ready to post. Your progress is the flex.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything stays on your phone. No account, no bank connection, no selling your data.

FREE FOREVER
One active challenge, three envelopes, streaks, freezes, your plant hero, and share cards — free, no trial required.

NOBUY PREMIUM
Unlimited challenges and envelopes, custom durations, premium hero styles, Journey cosmetics, premium share-card themes, extra freezes, and full history. $4.99/month or $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan.

Your no-buy era starts today. Download NoBuy and win the day — one no-spend day at a time.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-26

Day one starts the moment you say go

NEW
• Start a challenge and you walk straight into your first check-in — "Day 1 starts now" — instead of landing on an empty home screen. Your streak begins with a tap, not a wait.
• Buttons, the check-in banner and the floating tab bar are made of Liquid Glass on iOS 26, so your content shows through them as you scroll.
• Reminders through your first week now speak to where you actually are: which day a freeze protected, how many you have left, and whether your streak is still standing by the time you read it.
• Already Premium? Opening Premium now shows you what you own and what you've kept, instead of trying to sell you a plan you already have.

IMPROVED
• A fresh install opens in dark if your phone is in dark. It used to always start light and wait for you to find the switch.
• Settings is a proper screen now, not a cramped sheet.
• Premium opens on your own number — the money you've already kept — and leads with what actually changes: freezes, unlimited envelopes, unlimited challenges, and how long you can run one. The styling comes after.
• Going Premium finally looks like something happened: confetti, and the sheet closes on the good news.
• The widget tip waits for a good moment. It arrives after a check-in instead of interrupting your first run, it never stacks on top of anything else, and it reads your real streak day.

FIXED
• On smaller phones the Subscribe button could sit below the fold. Plans and button are pinned to the bottom of the sheet now — always visible, with the feature list scrolling behind them.
• A dead "Continue" button could appear before prices had loaded, or on a first open with no connection.
• The fade above the check-in banner turned gray on the light theme instead of dissolving into the background.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-16

• New ways to go Premium: weekly at $1.99 — and monthly is now $3.99
• Your home-screen widget stays fresh through the day more reliably
• We now only ask for a rating after a real win, like a 7-day streak
• Small fixes and polish

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-01

Your widget now keeps up on its own — no need to open the app 

NEW
• The widget moves through your day by itself: a morning nudge, your savings by afternoon, an evening reminder, a celebration once you've checked in — hour by hour, for up to three days, even if the app never opens. Low Power Mode can't freeze it anymore.
• Quiet nights: after midnight the widget rests with you instead of urging a check-in.
• Hazel varies her pose and message through the day during your first days and your home stretch — no more one face all day.

IMPROVED
• Better crash reporting behind the scenes, so the rare crash gets found and fixed fast.

FIXED
• Check-ins tapped on the widget ring always count now. Before, tapping the ring in the evening and not opening the app until the next day could mark the day missed — costing a freeze, or your streak at zero freezes. Several closed-app days in a row are safe too: every tap is kept and banked in order.
• Checking in from the widget now moves your "saved so far" money right away.
• Hazel no longer greets a brand-new 7-day challenge worried about being "down to your last freeze" — short challenges start with a single freeze, and that's exactly the plan.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-22

Your streak now lives on your Home Screen 

NEW
• A small widget with three faces — Hazel and your streak day, Stash and the acorns you've piled up, or Journey and your road to the reward.
• It changes with your day on its own: a morning nudge, what you've saved by afternoon, a reminder before the day runs out, and a celebration once you've checked in. It goes quiet at night, keeps its warmth after a freeze or a reset, marks your milestones, and welcomes you back if you've been away.
• Tap the ring to check in without opening the app (iOS 17 and later). On iOS 16 it opens straight to your check-in.
• Widget Studio, in Settings → Widgets: preview it with your real numbers, pick a face and a theme, and follow three steps to get it on your screen. Light and dark, plus accent colours (violet free; mint, coral and ink are Premium).
• Four tiles in the widget gallery — plain "NoBuy" follows whatever you pick in the app, and three more pin one face each, so you can place several.

IMPROVED
• Typing and moving around the app do noticeably less work behind the scenes, so everything feels lighter.
• Our privacy policy and App Store privacy label now describe the anonymous usage data NoBuy sends — they should have all along, and that was our mistake. This build also removes the advertising identifier entirely, so NoBuy collects less than the version before it. Your notes and amounts still stay on your phone.

FIXED
• Overlapping text and a misaligned acorn in the widget and its preview.
• An empty stash used to draw a full acorn. It doesn't anymore.
