New in 1.5 — The Outlet: a shop where nothing is real. Cart your own wishes, go through the entire checkout, then bank the money you never spent.
Every impulse buy starts the same way. You see it, you want it, you tap. CutCut puts time between the wanting and the tapping.
Instead of buying it, you save the wish. CutCut sets a cooling-off period based on the price — a couple of hours for something small, days or weeks for something big. When the timer runs out, you decide with a clear head. Most of the time the wanting is already gone, and the money stays yours.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Save the wish. Share a link from Safari, paste a URL, or type it in — CutCut fills in the name, price and photo.
2. Wait. Every wish gets a timer that scales with its price. Choose Classic, Strict or Extreme.
3. Decide. Buy it without guilt, or let it go and watch the money you didn't spend add up.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no sign-up. Your wishes stay on your device. Where supported, personalised insights are generated on-device with Apple Intelligence.
WHY IT WORKS
Budgeting apps count the damage once the money is gone. CutCut works one step earlier — while the decision is still yours.
Clarity is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
1.5 is the biggest update CutCut has ever had.
THE OUTLET
A shop where nothing is real. Put your own wishes in the cart and go through all of it — product page, variants, delivery address, card, order confirmation. Then track the parcel. No real money moves at any point. When the pretend delivery arrives, the price you didn't pay is booked as savings.
CLARITY SCORE
A score from 0 to 100 for how you handle spending impulses, across five dimensions. It starts with a full baseline assessment, then a short check-in each month. Your real wishlist decisions count towards it, not just your answers.
MONTHLY FOCUS
After every check-in you pick one area to work on and get two or three small, concrete actions. Tick them off in the app or straight from the Home Screen.
NEW WIDGETS
Every widget rebuilt, plus two new ones: an interactive Monthly Focus and live tracking for an Outlet order.
TEN GUIDES
The guide library has been rewritten and grown from six reads to ten.
FULLY LOCALIZED
English, German, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) — across the entire app, including the text generated on your device.
FIXES
Sharing a link from Safari now survives a slow cold start, the paywall stays out of the way if you already have Clarity, and there is a long list of smaller fixes and polish throughout.
