## What is Pause?

You don't have a spending problem. You have an impulse problem.                       
                                                                                         
That late-night cart. The "treat yourself" click. The thing you bought on a whim and forgot about a week later.                                                             
                                                            
Pause gives you a simple system to break the cycle - without budgets, guilt, or willpower.
                                                                                         
Here's how it works:                                                                   
Add anything you want to buy. Set a wait timer. When the timer runs out, decide - do you still want it? Often, the urge just passes. 
Sometimes, you buy it - and feel great because it was intentional.                               

That's it. No complicated tracking. No spending shame. Just a pause between the urge and the purchase.

FEATURES          
- Wishlist - Save items you want to buy, all in one place

- Simple & Fast - Add an item in seconds, decide later                                 
                                                                                         
PERFECT FOR YOU IF:                                                                    
- You overspend on emotional or stress shopping                                        
- You want to do a no-buy or low-buy challenge            
- You're tired of buyer's remorse                                                      
- You want to be more intentional with money - without obsessing over budgets

Pause won't judge you for wanting things. It just helps you want them a little longer before buying.
