Impulse shopping rarely survives 24 hours of silence. Anti-Impulse Wishlist catches the thing you almost bought, drops it into a cooling tank for the time you choose, and only shows you the price again once the urge has had time to pass. If you still want it, it goes into a "vetted" library you can buy from with intention. If you don't, the app logs the money you didn't spend and celebrates it. Built around three simple ideas: • Distance — every item waits 3, 7, 14, or 30 days before you're allowed to decide. No exceptions. • Reflection — when time's up you do a "Decision Report" before the price is revealed, with a short reality-check prompt. • Progress — your streak, money saved, and impulse triggers are visualised so you can see the habit changing. Features at a glance: - Local-only storage. Your wishlist never leaves your device. - Clipboard detection: paste a product link and the URL slot fills itself. - Pick your cooling window per item (3 / 7 / 14 / 30 days). - Hold-to-reveal price with a guided "why did you want this?" prompt. - Share milestone cards when you hit 5, 10, 25, 50 dismissals. - Weekly recap of what you didn't buy. - No ads. No tracking across apps. No IDFA. Anti-Impulse Wishlist is not a budgeting app that reads your bank — it's a behavioural brake on the tap-to-buy loop. You do the reflection; it does the timing.
