Cart Pause Now

About

Cart Pause puts a cooldown between wanting something and buying it. Scan a barcode in-store, or share a product link while you're browsing online — either way, the item goes into your cart with a timer, not your actual shopping cart. SCAN, SHARE, OR BOTH Point the camera at a barcode in-store, or share a link to anything from Safari or a shopping app straight into Cart Pause. Either way, you land on the same "Worth It?" screen before it's saved. SEE THE REAL COST Enter a price and see it two ways: how many hours of your own work it costs, based on your wage, and what that same money could grow into if invested instead, based on a return rate you set. Both are simple estimates from your own numbers, not financial advice. PAUSE IT, DON'T JUST DECIDE NOW Buy it, discard it, or pause it with a cooldown — 24 hours up to a month. If you pause, a local reminder pings you exactly when the cooldown ends so the decision doesn't just get forgotten. GOALS, BUDGETS, AND BILLS Set savings goals and watch what you resist buying count toward them. Track monthly spending by category, set limits, keep an eye on recurring bills, and run the classic 100 Envelope Challenge. KEEP SCORE A no-buy streak, a calendar of resisted-vs-bought days, and milestones for hitting savings and streak targets. Put your running total on a TV over AirPlay for a big, satisfying number at the end of the month. YOUR NUMBERS STAY YOURS Everything — scans, prices, goals, budgets, your wage — is stored locally on your device. No account, no analytics, no ads, nothing uploaded anywhere.
