What's New in Stop Impulse Buying

1.5

August 19, 2026

1.5 is the biggest update CutCut has ever had. THE OUTLET A shop where nothing is real. Put your own wishes in the cart and go through all of it — product page, variants, delivery address, card, order confirmation. Then track the parcel. No real money moves at any point. When the pretend delivery arrives, the price you didn't pay is booked as savings. CLARITY SCORE A score from 0 to 100 for how you handle spending impulses, across five dimensions. It starts with a full baseline assessment, then a short check-in each month. Your real wishlist decisions count towards it, not just your answers. MONTHLY FOCUS After every check-in you pick one area to work on and get two or three small, concrete actions. Tick them off in the app or straight from the Home Screen. NEW WIDGETS Every widget rebuilt, plus two new ones: an interactive Monthly Focus and live tracking for an Outlet order. TEN GUIDES The guide library has been rewritten and grown from six reads to ten. FULLY LOCALIZED English, German, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) — across the entire app, including the text generated on your device. FIXES Sharing a link from Safari now survives a slow cold start, the paywall stays out of the way if you already have Clarity, and there is a long list of smaller fixes and polish throughout.

Alles passiert automatisch

Ich kann super einfach meine Wünsche importieren und die App schlägt automatisch die Wartezeit vor. Sie ist wirklich schön und hat mir schon bereits 2 mal geholfen nicht zu kaufen. Ich liebe sie und habe sie meinen Freundinnen empfohlen, weil die auch so viel bestellen.

मुझे शॉपिंग की लत है, लेकिन ऐप मेरी मदद करता है

मैं अक्सर उन चीज़ों पर बहुत ज़्यादा पैसे खर्च कर देता हूँ जिन्हें मैं सच में अफ़ोर्ड नहीं कर सकता। ऐप असल में इस्तेमाल करने के लिए फ़्री है, लेकिन क्योंकि मेरी विश लिस्ट में दो से ज़्यादा आइटम हैं, इसलिए मैंने प्रीमियम वर्शन लिया क्योंकि यह बहुत महंगा नहीं है।

Response from developer

Hätte ich nicht

Die App hat mir echt geholfen weniger spontane Käufe zu machen. Ein automatischer Import aus Amazon wäre noch super

Response from developer

Vielen Dank dir für dein Feedback – richtig stark, dass dir die App schon geholfen hat, weniger Spontankäufe zu machen! Den automatischen Amazon-Import habe ich auf dem Schirm, das wünschen sich einige. Ich schaue gerade, wie sich das technisch umsetzen lässt, damit es für dich so bequem wie möglich wird.

Hilft mir echt gegen Kaufsucht

Die App ist echt super, um Impulskäufe besser in den Griff zu bekommen. Mir gefällt vor allem das schlichte Design und dass alles so einfach gehalten ist. Seit dem neuesten Update ist die App endlich auf Deutsch verfügbar und die strengeren Intervalle beim Warten helfen mir enorm, Entscheidungen noch mal zu überdenken. Der Circuit Breaker ist zwar ein simples Konzept, aber in der Praxis wahnsinnig effektiv.

Für die Zukunft würde ich mir noch wünschen, dass man die Wartezeit für einzelne Items flexibel verlängern kann und dass es vielleicht noch etwas ausführlichere Guides zum bewussten Shoppen gibt. Insgesamt aber eine tolle Hilfe für den Alltag.
