Anti-Impulse Wishlist
iPhone / Finance
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.
