NoBuy vs Pause

Track your no-spend days and keep a no-buy challenge going. The core is free, with no ads and no account; NoBuy Pro (monthly or yearly, 7 days free) adds your full history and analysis. Free: the nightly check-in, your streak, the calendar, a 7-day challenge, the urge timer, the impulse checklist, the waiting list, every widget and your milestone card. Pro: every day on record, the analysis and longer challenges. HOW IT WORKS Each night NoBuy asks one question: "Buy anything unnecessary today?" Answer No or Yes in one tap, in the app or on the Home Screen widget, mark a kept day from Control Center (iOS 18), or tell Siri "No spend day in NoBuy". Every kept day fills a tick on your dial, counting toward the next milestone: 7, 14, 30, 60, 100 days and beyond. Rent, bills, transport and groceries never break it: mark the day "essentials only". A wrong answer can be edited or deleted. WHEN THE URGE HITS • Urge timer: ten minutes on a dial, for the moment you want to buy. Start it from the app or from Control Center (iOS 18). Still want it after? Put it on the waiting list. • Impulse checklist: five questions before you buy, such as "Will I remember wanting it in a month?" Add your own, remove or reorder them. • Waiting list: hold a thing for 24, 48 or 72 hours, with a reminder, then decide. FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE • The nightly question and the one-tap answer, with an evening reminder that knows when you've already answered • Your streak, your best streak and the month so far • The calendar and the last 90 days of your record • A 7-day no-buy challenge • One streak freeze a month • Rent and bills, groceries and transport built in as essentials • The urge timer and the impulse checklist, in full • The waiting list, up to 3 things at once • What your kept days are worth, in your own currency • All 12 achievements, from your first day to 365 • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Control Center buttons (iOS 18) • Siri and Shortcuts: "No spend day in NoBuy", "Check my streak in NoBuy" • Your milestone card, in story or square size, to share or save • CSV export of everything, and erase any time NOBUY PRO (SUBSCRIPTION) • Every day on record, back to the first (the free view shows the last 90 days; nothing is deleted, and CSV export always includes everything) • The analysis: monthly trend, weekday pattern, streak history chart, day breakdown and no-spend rate • Challenges of 14, 30, 60 or 100 days, or any length you choose • More essential categories of your own, and unlimited streak freezes • An open waiting list • Four more dial finishes New subscribers get 7 days free, then $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year (US prices; your local price is shown before you confirm).

You don't have a spending problem. You have an impulse problem. That late-night cart. The "treat yourself" click. The thing you bought on a whim and forgot about a week later. Pause gives you a simple way to break the cycle, without budgets, guilt or willpower. HOW IT WORKS Add anything you're tempted to buy, with its price and why you want it. Pick a waiting period. When the wait is over, Pause reminds you to decide: do you still want it? Often, the urge has passed. Sometimes you buy it, and feel good because it was intentional. FEATURES - Wishlist: keep everything you want to buy in one place - Waiting period: set a cooling-off time before you let yourself buy - Reminders: get notified when it's time to decide - Stats: see how much you've saved, and how often you passed vs bought - Simple and fast: add an item in seconds, decide later PERFECT FOR YOU IF - You overspend when you're stressed, bored or emotional - You're doing a no-buy, low-buy or no-spend challenge - You're tired of buyer's remorse - You want to spend more intentionally without obsessing over budgets No account needed. Works offline. Free. Pause won't judge you for wanting things. It just helps you want them a little longer before you buy. Download Pause. Buy less. Regret nothing.
