Want it? Wait. Still want it in 30 days? Then buy it. NotYet is the anti-impulse wishlist. Instead of adding things to your cart, add them to your NotYet list. Wait 30 days. Then decide. Most of the time, you won't even remember why you wanted it. That's the point. โ€” HOW IT WORKS โ€” 1. See something you want to buy 2. Add it to your NotYet list (paste the link or snap a photo) 3. A 30-day timer starts 4. After 30 days: "Do you still want this?" 5. Yes โ†’ buy it guilt-free. No โ†’ watch your savings grow. No willpower needed. Just time. โ€” THE 30-DAY RULE โ€” Financial experts call it the 30-day rule: when you want to buy something on impulse, wait 30 days. If you still want it after a month, it's a real want โ€” not impulse spending. NotYet makes this rule effortless. Add the item. We handle the waiting. You handle the saving. โ€” WATCH YOUR SAVINGS GROW โ€” Every item you decide NOT to buy gets added to your savings counter. $47 jacket? Didn't need it. Saved $47. $299 gadget? Forgot about it. Saved $299. $89 shoes? Still wanted them. Bought guilt-free. Your NotYet savings dashboard shows exactly how much money you've kept in your pocket by simply waiting. โ€” KEY FEATURES โ€” โ—† One-Tap Add Paste a product link or take a photo. That's it. The item goes on your NotYet list with a 30-day countdown. โ—† 30-Day Countdown Timer Every item has a visible countdown. Watch the days tick. Feel the urge fade. โ—† Decision Day Notification After 30 days, we ask: "Do you still want this?" Tap yes or no. Simple. โ—† Savings Dashboard See your total saved, monthly saved, and your all-time record. Watch the number climb. โ—† Savings Streak How many days in a row have you avoided impulse buying? Keep your streak alive. โ—† Product Links & Photos Save items from any website. Add a link or just snap a photo in-store. โ—† Category Tags Organize by type: Fashion, Tech, Home, Beauty .. see where your impulses hit hardest. โ—† Impulse Patterns "You add the most items on Friday nights." "72% of your impulses are fashion." "You've said 'no' to 84% of items after waiting." Know your triggers. Break the cycle. โ—† Share Your Wins "I saved $847 this month by using NotYet." Share your savings card on social media. โ—† Adjustable Wait Period 30 days too long? Start with 7 days. Too easy? Try 60. Set your own challenge level. โ€” WHO IS THIS FOR? โ€” โ†’ Impulse shoppers who add to cart before they think โ†’ Anyone doing a no-buy challenge or low-buy year โ†’ Students and young adults learning to manage money โ†’ Anyone tired of buying things they never use โ†’ Minimalists and declutterers who want to stop the cycle at the source โ†’ Mindful spenders who want data on their habits โ†’ Couples saving for something big (house, wedding, trip) โ†’ Anyone who's ever said "Why did I buy this?" โ€” WHY NOTYET IS DIFFERENT โ€” Budget apps track what you ALREADY spent. NotYet stops you BEFORE you spend. Wishlist apps help you BUY things. NotYet helps you NOT buy things. This isn't about restriction. It's about clarity. If you still want it after 30 days, buy it with zero guilt. But most of the time? You won't. And that's money saved, space saved, and regret avoided. โ€” THE MATH โ€” The average person makes 3-5 impulse purchases per week. Average impulse buy: $30-$50. That's $500-$1,000/month on things you didn't plan to buy. If NotYet helps you skip even HALF of those impulses, you save $250-$500 every month. That's $3,000-$6,000 per year. โ€” JOIN THE MOVEMENT โ€” The no-buy movement isn't about never buying anything. It's about buying with intention. NotYet gives you the tool to pause, breathe, and decide โ€” instead of reacting to every sale, every ad, every "limited time offer." Add it. Wait. Decide. Save. NotYet. Not never. Just not yet.

Ala Baly โ€” Voice Reminders on WhatsApp Say it and forget about it Setting a reminder should be as easy as sending a message. No app to open. No date picker. Just message Ala Baly on WhatsApp the way you'd talk to a friend: "remind me to pay rent on the 1st of every month" "call mom tomorrow at 4" "take my medicine every day at 9" Send it as text or a voice note โ€” even while you're walking. It understands you, sets the reminder, and sends it back to you in the same chat, on time. Why it's different It all happens inside WhatsApp. The reminder arrives there and you answer it there. This app is just for looking back at your reminders โ€” you never have to open it. Say the time however you want: "tomorrow at 4", "after work", "in 5 minutes". Got something wrong? Just reply "no, 8 not 7" or "cancel it". When a reminder arrives, you get three buttons: Done, Postpone, or Cancel. Works in English and Arabic โ€” you can even mix both in one sentence. In the app See all your reminders in one place, change any time or repeat pattern, and get a push notification for every reminder. Repeats Hourly, daily, weekly on the days you choose, or monthly.
