Wishlog is a mindful wishlisting app that helps you slow down and feel good about the things you choose to keep. One-time purchase and it's yours forever. Add items you want to any number of color-coded wishlists, each with a customizable waiting period. Every new wish is locked for that period — giving you time to reflect before you act.

Over time, you build a clear picture of what truly matters to you. Detailed statistics track your habits, completion rates, spending patterns, survival rates, affirmation counts, and more, so you can understand your relationship with wanting and spending.
