Stop impulse buying. Share any item to CartPause, wait 72 hours, then decide with a clear head. 3 in 4 purchases get skipped, see how much you can save!
Stop impulse buying. Start saving.
CartPause is the dead-simple app that puts a pause between "I want it" and "I bought it." Share any item from any shopping app or browser, set a 72 hour pause timer, and see if you still want it when the urge fades.
The average person spends $3,650 a year on impulse purchases. After just 24 hours, the emotional urge to buy drops by 50%. CartPause uses that science to help you keep more of your money.
HOW IT WORKS
1. See something you want? Tap Share → CartPause
2. We auto-detect the product name, price, and image
3. Choose a pause: 72, 48 or 24 hours
4. When the timer ends, you decide: buy it or keep the cash
That's it. No willpower required.
TRACK YOUR SAVINGS
Every time you say "no," CartPause tracks what you saved. Watch your total grow with monthly breakdowns and a savings sparkline. You'll be surprised how fast it adds up.
SOMEDAY
Not ready to say no forever? Send items to Someday. They stay there with no timer, so you never lose track of things you still kind of want. It's like a universal shopping list.
WORKS EVERYWHERE
CartPause works with any app or website that supports sharing — Amazon, Walmart, Target, Etsy, eBay, Best Buy, Shein, Temu, and more. If you can share a link, CartPause can pause it.
