## What is SpendPause?

SpendPause puts a 60-second pause between you and impulse purchases. Before you buy, tap the button. A countdown runs four reflection questions that help you decide if you really need it.

Most impulse buys happen because there's no friction. SpendPause adds just enough friction — without judgment.

FEATURES
• 60-second pause timer with 4 guided reflection questions
• Track what you skipped and how much you saved
• Monthly reflection to see your progress month by month
• Custom reflection prompts (Premium)
• 24-hour wait reminders for items you're still considering
• Clean, distraction-free dark interface

HOW IT WORKS
1. You're about to buy something — tap "I'm about to buy something"
2. Enter the price and item name
3. A 60-second timer runs with reflection questions
4. Decide: skip it or buy it
5. Your savings build up over time

PREMIUM
