ShopPause
Pause before you buy
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
ShopPause is the space between wanting something and buying it.
Add any item you're tempted by — a jacket, a gadget, a pair of shoes. Set a waiting period. ShopPause holds it quietly, then asks you once when the time is up: does it still feel right?
No countdown. No urgency. No guilt. Just a pause.
The Pause Mechanic
Every item you add enters a reflection hold. When the time's up, you decide: buy it, or let it go. Either way, you chose — rather than reacted. The things you keep after the pause are the ones you'll actually use.
Track your patterns. See which emotions drive your spending. Notice which categories you add most. Watch what your resistance is worth in dollars saved. The patterns are often surprising.
What you can do
— Log items with photos, prices, and notes
— Set a waiting period: 7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days
— Note how you were feeling when the urge struck
— See your spending triggers and category patterns in charts
— Track how much you've saved by resisting
