Griotta: Stop Impulse Spending
Pause before you buy
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Buying got faster. Thinking didn’t. Griotta adds a pause before you shop, so you can walk away, plan it, or buy now.
Buying has become almost frictionless. Griotta gives you a moment to think before speed makes the decision for you.
Choose the shopping apps where you want a pause. When you try to open one, Griotta steps in first and gives the urge a little time to slow down.
Then the choice is yours:
Walk away: you changed your mind.
Plan it: give yourself more time and come back later.
Buy now: you still want it.
None of these choices is wrong. Griotta isn’t designed to stop you from spending. It’s designed to make the decision more intentional.
See your patterns
Your Journal keeps a private record of the moments you paused, so you can start noticing what tends to trigger an impulse and what you actually choose afterward.
Built around privacy
No bank connection
No transaction monitoring
No merchant, cart, or item tracking

Griotta cannot see which selected shopping app triggered a pause
Spending less isn’t always the goal.
Sometimes the useful thing is simply creating a little space between wanting something and buying it.
