About

WaitCart

Read full description

WaitCart turns the familiar shopping ritual into a private cooling-off tool. Choose Global or one of 22 country and region storefronts. Catalog v3 contains 690 source-attributed real-world product references and images, and every storefront shows 30 shared plus 30 country-observed products. Product facts come from Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, Open Products Facts, and Open Pet Food Facts under ODbL 1.0. Product images are attributed to Open Facts contributors under CC BY-SA 3.0. Source, image attribution, license, observation date, and dated market-research links are available from product details. WaitCart is not affiliated with the displayed brands or retailers. Marketplace popularity pages are used only as dated research signals; WaitCart does not copy retailer images or claim live rankings, prices, reviews, inventory, or merchant offers. Every catalog list price remains a stable simulation formatted in the selected storefront currency. Choose a variant, add it to the storefront-specific cart, and optionally enter the amount you think you might otherwise spend. Each time you open checkout, WaitCart locally generates a random stack of fictional offers. Several discounts add up exactly to the fictional subtotal, so the simulated total always lands at zero in the selected storefront currency. No payment is collected, no real address is requested, and nothing will be delivered. Your simulated order immediately becomes a private digital product card in Showcase. Its parcel passport unlocks collectible stamps as time passes, but there is no merchant, carrier, tracking number, or delivered state. Keep the card wandering or let the desire go; either way, the digital collectible stays yours. The offer receipt is saved with the digital card and can be exported. Fictional list prices and discounts are not real coupons, money, credit, savings, or redeemable value. Calm points record only local journey milestones, have no cash value, and cannot be purchased. Monetary reflection totals use only estimates you entered; they are not verified prices, financial advice, or guaranteed savings. PRIVACY • No account, ads, analytics, or tracking • No camera, photos, contacts, location, or notification permission • Cart, estimates, journeys, cards, stamps, and Showcase stay on your device • No name, phone number, real address, or item payment data • Catalog and product-image requests may expose ordinary connection data such as IP address to the disclosed GitHub Pages and Open Facts hosts WAITCART PRO The complete base shopping simulation is free. Optional monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscriptions support ongoing source-attributed catalog updates, seasonal storefronts, journey story packs, and expanded annual reflections. Prices and subscription terms are shown by the App Store before purchase. Restore purchases in Settings. WaitCart is not a merchant, marketplace, parcel carrier, live tracking service, or financial adviser. Product references and images describe real products, while all prices, discounts, carts, destinations, orders, and logistics inside WaitCart are simulated.
