Buy Pause
Pause before you buy
$3.00 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Have you ever bought something the moment you wanted it,
only to wonder later if you really needed it?
BuyPause is an app designed to help you
pause before buying and take time to check how you truly feel.
You register the product name, price, and your reasons for wanting it.
By revisiting those reasons over time,
you can see whether your feelings stay the same or gradually change.
Your level of desire is visualized through graphs and notes.
The app doesn’t push you toward a decision—
it simply presents information quietly, as material for your judgment.
When the final decision date arrives,
you choose whether to buy or to skip it this time.
There is no right or wrong answer.
The decision is always yours.
