Cooldown: 24h Buy Pause
iPhone / Finance
You do not have a spending problem. You have a speed problem.
Cooldown puts a 24-hour pause between the urge and the checkout. Add what you
want, what it costs, and why. It goes on hold for one day. When the timer is
up, you decide with a clear head: let it go, or buy it on purpose.
Most urges do not survive the wait. The ones that do are the things you
actually want.
WHY IT WORKS
• A deliberate delay breaks the impulse loop that stores are built to trigger.
• You decide twice — once hot, once calm. The calm vote is the one that counts.
• Seeing the money you did not spend is quietly motivating.
WHAT YOU GET
• One-tap hold — add an item in seconds, no friction.
• A clear 24-hour timer with progress for everything cooling.
• A simple decide moment when the wait is over: let it go or keep it.
• A running total of what you did not spend, plus a resisted rate.
• CSV export of every item and decision, kept on your device.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No tracking. No network. Everything stays on your
phone — your wishlist and your decisions are nobody's business but yours.
Cooldown is intentionally small. It does one thing: it slows you down long
enough to choose. Spend on what matters. Skip the rest.
