Imagine knowing why you bought everything you own. Not because you track every dollar. Not because you follow a budget. But because every purchase you made was a decision you can stand behind. That's what clarity before the swipe feels like. -- THE TRANSFORMATION Six months ago: 14 purchases you couldn't remember making. Today: You can tell the story behind every single one. That's the difference between "I bought it" and "I meant it." MeanIt creates one moment of pause before you buy. Four honest questions — adapted from Kakebo, Japan's 120-year-old practice of intentional money management. The questions reveal whether this purchase aligns with who you want to be. Then you decide. Go, Sleep On It, or Not Now. The choice is always yours. --- SLEEP ON IT Not sure? Choose "Sleep On It" and revisit in 48 hours. See your original answers with fresh eyes. Most people find that time reveals what impulse obscures. --- YOUR WEEK IN CLARITY Each Sunday, see your patterns — not judgments: • How many moments of clarity you created • Where you paused most • Decisions you owned The insight isn't about money saved. It's about decisions owned. --- YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU • No account required • No bank connections — ever • All data stored on your device • Optional iCloud sync between your devices • No ads. No selling your data. The app don't need to know what you buy. It just helps you decide if you mean it. --- SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED MeanIt offers a 7-day free trial. After the trial, a subscription is required to continue using the app. Your subscription includes: • Unlimited check-ins — Four honest questions adapted to your purchase category • Three verdicts: Go (I mean it), Sleep On It (48 hours), Not Now (this isn't it) • Paused items with countdown and original answers • History of decisions you can stand behind • Weekly patterns and observations • Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets for quick clarity • Full accessibility support (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type) Pricing (after 7-day free trial): • $9.99/year (best value) • $2.99/month Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
