Stop impulse buying. Start saving. PennyPause is an ADHD-friendly budget and impulse control app designed for people who struggle with impulsive spending. Before every purchase, run it through a quick 6-question gut-check quiz — and find out if you really need it. IMPULSE CHECKER Think before you buy. Answer 6 simple questions and get an instant verdict: go ahead, think twice, or stop — it's an impulse. Items you resist get logged as money saved. Items you're unsure about go straight to your "Maybe Later" wishlist. BUDGET PLANNER Track multiple months of income and expenses. Organise spending into categories (Fixed Bills, Living, Debt, and your own custom categories). Mark expenses as paid with a tap. See your balance and what's available to save — all at a glance. SAVINGS TRACKER Set monthly savings targets and watch your progress grow. A built-in level system (from Seedling to Diamond Saver) keeps you motivated. Hit a milestone and celebrate with confetti. DEBT COUNTDOWN Add your installments and debts, then tap "Paid This Month" to count down. See your payment history, track months remaining, and celebrate when a debt hits zero. WISHLIST (MAYBE LATER) Park the things you want but don't need right now. After 30 days, revisit with a clearer head. See how much you've NOT spent — that number grows fast. MY RULES Set personal spending rules and toggle them on or off. Pre-loaded with 12 ADHD-friendly rules like "Delete shopping apps on weekdays" and "NO new BNPL. ZERO." DESIGNED FOR ADHD Large buttons, minimal clutter, dark theme, swipe gestures, and instant feedback. No sign-up required. No subscriptions. No ads. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE All data is stored locally on your device. Nothing is sent to any server. Export your data as a backup anytime from Settings. 17 currencies supported including MYR, USD, EUR, GBP, SGD, and more.
