Founded by an Ivorian American born in the U.S - An app that lets you find Black Owned Businesses from the entire Black Diaspora conveniently in one place, and also lets you help the community through Mutual Aid. (Some people asked that I update the descriptions so people can know which ethnicity created the app before downloading, so people can choose whether they'd like to download it or not. This is the reason the descriptions and subtitles have been updated- not as a boast)

Simpulse: Simplify Impulse Purchases Life is expensive and those little purchases really add up to big headaches for your wallet. Tempted to buy something you don't really need? Simpulse gives you a moment to pause before you purchase. Instead of adding to your cart and checking out, add the item to Simpulse and let it sit behind a cooldown timer. When the timer unlocks, you decide if it's still worth it. More often than not - it isn't. Simpulse turns "buy now" into "think first" - helping you save money, cut clutter, and shop with intention. How it works: 1. See something you want? Paste the link, type it in, or share it straight from your browser into Simpulse. 2. Choose a cooldown period. The item stays locked while the timer runs. 3. When it unlocks you can make the deliberate decision: buy it, or let it go. --- Key features --- • Cooldown lock - every item waits out a timer you set, so the impulse fades before you spend. • Add from anywhere - paste a link, type an item, or use your browser's Share button to send it to Simpulse instantly. • Stay organized - sort items into Queued, Saved, and Spent, with multiple lists and flexible sorting by date, name, or time remaining. • Track the details - add prices, notes, and custom icons or colors to every item. • Trends & insights - visual charts show what you bought vs. what you resisted over the last week, month, 6 months, or year, so you can see the money you're saving. • Light & dark themes - make Simpulse look the way you like. Most shopping apps are designed to make you buy more. Simpulse is built to help you buy better. There's no cart, no checkout, no pressure - just a calm space between wanting something and paying for it. That small pause is where real savings happen. Stop impulse buying before it starts. Download Simpulse and take back control of your spending. Upgrade to Premium for an ad-free experience, unlimited list items, light & dark themes, and the full trends & insights dashboard.
