CutCut: Stop Impulse Buying

The anti-impulse wishlist.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Purchase with purpose. The anti-impulse wishlist that gives you the power to pause, think, and buy without regret. One click is all it takes to spend. CutCut gives you the power to pause. In a world designed for instant gratification, "Buy Now" is the enemy of your wealth. We buy on impulse, chase the dopamine hit, and are left with clutter and regret. CutCut is the anti-impulse wishlist. It reintroduces the one thing your wallet needs most: Time. By adding friction between your desire and the checkout, CutCut helps you move from impulsive spending to intentional ownership. It’s not about depriving yourself - it’s about buying only what truly adds value to your life. HOW IT WORKS 1. The Circuit Breaker (Optional): Before you even add an item, challenge the impulse. Use our guided "Circuit Breaker" flow to evaluate if the purchase is truly necessary right now. If it passes the test, you can add it to your list. 2. The Cooling-Off Period: Once added, the item enters a mandatory waiting period. CutCut automatically assigns a timer based on the price of the item. The more expensive the wish, the longer the pause. 3. The Decision: When the cooling-off period ends, you revisit the item with a clear head. Still want it? Buy it without guilt. Realized it was just a fleeting impulse? Archive it and watch your savings grow. KEY FEATURES - Smart Friction: Automatic waiting timers that scale with the cost of the item. - Clarity Dashboard: A minimalist view of your active wishes and cooling-off status. - Decision Journal: Add photos, prices, links, and- most importantly- your "Why". - Mindful Stats: Track not just what you bought, but the money you saved by simply waiting. - Privacy Focused: Your desires are personal. CutCut is designed to keep your data private. WHY CUTCUT? Most budgeting apps track the damage after it's done. CutCut stops the leak before it happens. Adopt the habit of the wealthy: Patience.

VERSION 1.2 IS HERE! We've been hard at work making CutCut even better for you. Here is everything that's new: NEW FEATURES (THE COOL STUFF) - POSTPONE PURCHASES: The cooling-off period is over, but you are still not sure? No problem. Instead of just buying or archiving, you can now simply postpone your purchases. Take all the time you need. - PREMIUM APP ICONS: Make CutCut yours! Premium users can now choose from various exclusive app icons for their homescreen. - FEEDBACK FORM: Got an idea or missing a feature? Let us know directly via our new in-app feedback form. - VERSION HISTORY: Curious about past updates? You can now view the version history right inside the app. BUG FIXES (SQUASHED) - TIME INTERVAL: We tracked down and fixed a nasty little bug regarding time intervals. Everything is ticking exactly as it should again. - WELCOME SCREEN: The text on the Premium Welcome screen was sometimes cut off. It looks sleek and perfect again. - SHARE APP: The "Share App" button is back in business. Spread the word about CutCut! - LINE BREAKS: We optimized line breaks across all languages for a much cleaner UI design. FOR THE NERDS (UNDER THE HOOD) - DEEP LINKS: We now support deep links for an even smoother navigation experience into the app. - STOREKIT: We updated to Apple's latest StoreKit APIs to ensure in-app purchases are as seamless and secure as possible. - TRANSLATIONS: All new strings have been freshly translated into our supported languages.
