Unbought: Stop Impulse Buying
The anti-shopping cart
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The want has a half-life. Nobody tells you that. Park the thing you're about to buy, wait out the cooldown, and keep the money from the wants that don't survive.
See it. Want it. Park it.
Unbought is the anti-shopping cart. When something whispers "buy me," park it in Unbought instead. A cooldown starts: 24 hours, 3 days, or a week, matched to the price. Still want it after? Buy it, zero guilt. Don't? Its price drops into your set-aside balance, a running total of money the algorithm didn't get.
YOUR FUTURE SELF GETS A VOTE
Write one line about why you want it right now. When the timer ends, you read your own words with a clear head. Most wants don't survive three days.
WATCH NOT-SPENDING ADD UP
Balance, decision streak, pass rate, and an honest weekly estimate (no inflated projections; the app refuses to annualize two days of data). Point it all at a goal: the flight, the emergency fund, the debt. Watch money you passed on become something real.
THE WANT AUTOPSY
When a want dies, you get the receipt: your own note, the cause of death, and the money that survived you. Share it or keep it. Either way, it's yours.
BUYING IS ALLOWED
This is a decision tool, not a restriction. Buying on purpose after a cooldown counts as a win, and the app says so. Your streak counts days you decided deliberately, and it freezes while things are on ice. Waiting is the point; you're never punished for it.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account. No bank link. No analytics. Everything stays on your phone.
Free forever for the core habit: unlimited parking, cooldowns, decisions, streaks, one goal, and both share cards. Unbought Plus is a one-time $9.99 unlock (no subscription) with pattern insights, custom card themes, and full data export.
Most wants have a half-life. Find out which of yours survive.
