About

COOLDOWN

Read full description

A little room for you. COOLDOWN gives the things you want a place to wait. Save a product, choose a pause, and come back when you are ready to decide. SAVE WHAT CATCHES YOUR EYE Share a product link from a website or shopping app, or paste it into COOLDOWN. Review the name, photo, price and shop before saving. Edit any missing or incorrect details yourself; some websites limit what can be fetched. GIVE IT A LITTLE TIME Choose your own cooling period and watch the countdown in your collection or widgets. Optional reminders let you know when a pause ends. You can also opt into one gentle reminder after three days away. TAKE A SECOND LOOK Start with your original reason, rate how much you want it now, and reveal the photo when you choose. Buy it, let it go, or give it more time. Nothing makes a purchase or decision for you. EXPLORE MORE PERSPECTIVES WITH PLUS Try the Life helps you test the need behind a purchase with an editable activity and a reflection. One purpose, one choice brings alternatives together. Temptation memory and transparent pause suggestions help you notice patterns. Worth Keeping collects purchases you explicitly say you are happy with. Create a designed Unbought Receipt with separate currency totals and a redaction preview. THINK TOGETHER Plus includes private household sharing through iCloud. Choose which details to share and invite someone you trust. Their perspective stays separate from your own decision. YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR CHOICE Use COOLDOWN locally or turn on optional personal iCloud sync. Personal sync remains free. Sky-and-chrome widgets show your cooling collection and the next countdown. Start with five items free in total. Deleting or archiving does not reset that allowance. COOLDOWN Plus offers monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions for unlimited new items and the features above. Your saved items and decisions remain accessible when Plus ends. Prices are shown by Apple for your region. Manage or cancel in your App Store subscriptions. Privacy: https://cooldown-pause.expo.app/privacy.html Terms: https://cooldown-pause.expo.app/terms.html
