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. Our trial is based on how many items you add, so you can take your time deciding if Impulse Bye is right for you. $7 for 3 months $20 for 1 year ~ App links Website: https://impulsebye.app Terms of Use: https://impulsebye.app/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://www.impulsebye.app/privacy-policy

Ulik is a simple offline expense tracker and budget app. It shows where your money goes — without a bank login, an account, or a signup screen. You add what you spend. Ulik keeps the arithmetic honest. PROJECTS INSTEAD OF ONE PILE Keep separate projects for separate lives: everyday spending, a trip, a shared flat, subscriptions. Each project has its own base currency and its own history. EVERY CURRENCY, AT THE RIGHT RATE Log an expense in any of 22 supported currencies. Ulik converts it to your project's currency at the rate for the day the expense happened — not today's rate. A lunch you bought in March still costs what it cost in March. RECURRING PAYMENTS Rent, subscriptions, the gym. Set a payment to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly, and it appears in the months ahead so nothing arrives as a surprise. YOUR MONTH AT A GLANCE Income, expenses and balance for the month you are looking at. A calendar with a total under every day. Tap a day to see what happened on it. WHERE IT ACTUALLY GOES Spending by category for any month, so the answer to "why was this month expensive" takes a second, not an evening with a spreadsheet. CATEGORIES THAT ARE YOURS Start with the built-in ones or make your own, with any emoji. Reorder them, hide the ones you do not use. FAST ENTRY Type 12.40 + 3 and Ulik does the sum. Add a transaction by voice with the Siri shortcut. Search your history by name, category or amount. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account, no signup, no server storing your spending. Every transaction, name and project lives on your device. Ulik asks the internet for one thing only — the exchange rate for a date — and that request carries no data about you. Because there is no account, removing the app removes your data with it. Keep that in mind before you delete it. Terms of Use: https://appres.io/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://appres.io/privacy/
