Impulse Bye helps you practice spending intentionally, not impulsively. Instead of getting your dopamine from hitting that “Buy Now” button, get it from adding an item to your list, seeing your total saved go up, and throwing a little (digital) confetti in the air. Track the money you didn't spend on impulse buys and celebrate every dollar you save. ~ Key features Remember why you want to spend intentionally, not impulsively • see how much you resisted spending and delight in it going up over time • set a customizable banner to inspire you to save Add things to your Impulse Bye list, instead of buying them • add an item: its name, cost, and how badly you want it • answer 3 questions to help you overcome the urge to buy it right now • tag your items for simple categorization Take a moment to enjoy being in control of your cash • watch your total savings go up after you add an item • change the level of celebration to your liking Browse your list later, after the impulse has passed • search and filter through your items by want level, tags, and status • update items if you decide to buy them later or change your mind completely ~ Subscription options Start with a free trial of adding 33 items, then choose between a quarterly or annual subscription.
