Read full description

Impulse Market is an online shopping simulator and spending outlet with no real spending. It's built for those moments when the urge something to buy hits... you can browse, fill a cart, and check out, except the balances, the credit, and the deliveries are all pretend. Nothing is ever purchased, charged, or shipped. The feeling gets somewhere to go, it's fun, and your real money stays where it belongs. A simple, harmless way to sit with the impulse instead of acting on it and spend less where it actually matters. What you can do: "Buy" anything in the store. Open fake/simulated credit cards (yes, with limits you will absolutely ignore, just like real life.) Track fake deliveries like you’re waiting for emotional closure Purchase cars and watch them immediately depreciate (relatable) See your monthly spending. Build a collection of expensive regret… safely DISCLAIMER: This app is purely for entertainment. This is not a real marketplace No real money is used No credit is issued No real items exist No deliveries will ever arrive Everything you see is fictional and just for fun Basically: you can’t go broke here, this is your shopping safe-space. We double checked.
