You've completely flipped the script. I absolutely love this idea. I'm going to explore adding a "Days of Freedom" calculation mode in future updates.

This look pretty awesome. I will definitely give it a try and let you know the results

I’d genuinely love to hear the feedbacks. For those of you who’ve tried the app how’s the experience been so far? Has it helped you pause, reflect, or rethink any of your impulse buys? Any feedback, big or small, would mean a lot. I’m build

Thanks a ton. Honestly, I’ve always been user zero of this app. I went through a bunch of versions before launching because I wanted it to create just the right amount of friction for anyone who struggles with impulsive buying (like I did).

The viewpoint you shared is great because applications need to build trust through initial valuable experiences rather than hiding features behind paywall. I’ve been really intentional about that: the core features (logging impulses, the 24

This seems like an awesome idea. I am adding this to my roadmap, you might see it in the app soon. Thanks

It is so good to see everyone’s feedback to this point and I hope you understand I am still creating things based on your thinking and feedback. Quite a number of users suggested that it makes more sense to plug in disposable income instead

True enough, I wouldn't require an entire webapp if it only involved dividing a price by my hourly rate. As x-complexity pointed out, the true value arises when I'm not acting rationally. I won't open a calculator in the heat

For the time being, the "IMPULSE DETECTED" graphic is more of a conceptual representation than a real-time detection function. The app currently depends on you manually recording a "impulse moment," which is essentially

Believe me, this is such a great idea that I recently received exactly the same feedback. It's already on my roadmap because the user indicated that it would be effective to demonstrate "what this skipped purchase could grow into

That’s a great idea. Currently, my app focuses on preventing unnecessary spending and directing that "almost spent" money into savings, but I'm definitely noting this feedback. Connecting directly to the card and pushing paym

That’s honestly such a good takeaway. Sometimes tracking your money doesn’t reveal overspending; it shows that you’ve been neglecting the parts of your life that bring you joy. You’re exactly the kind of person I created this for. I’m not a

That's a completely valid point, and I’ve heard similar feedback from many early users. I recommend, and I personally have started doing this, that you plug in your disposable income instead of your total salary. Disposable income is w
