A reset for unplanned spending
Make room
to choose.
A simple pause can help when an online purchase feels urgent but was not part of your plan.
Save a temptationFree to start. No account needed.
Start by slowing the moment down
Impulse buying often starts with a strong feeling: a limited-time offer, a stressful day, or a product that seems to solve a problem right now. You do not need to judge the urge. Give yourself time to decide after the urgency fades.
Use a short pause, not a strict ban
- Name what caught your attention.Write down the item and its current price while the details are easy to find.
- Step away for 24 hours.Close the store tab and let the timer do the remembering.
- Review it with fresh eyes.If it still fits your priorities and budget, buying can be a considered choice. If not, skip it.
Keep the decision, not the guilt
A useful habit is one you can repeat without shame. Some held items will still be worth buying. Others will not. The aim is to make the decision deliberately, rather than let a countdown or a momentary rush make it for you.
Unbought keeps a temptation and its price on your device, then reminds you when the 24-hour hold ends. A price counts as money kept only when you mark the item skipped.
