SpendPause

SpendPause is a mobile AI + traditional app that intercepts impulse spending and trains “enough” as a default behavior. When you’re about to buy something, you snap a screenshot or forward the product link. The app forces a short cooldown (you choose 5–30 minutes), then asks two blunt questions: “What problem does this solve?” and “What will you give up for it?” It pulls your recent spending (optional bank sync) to show the real tradeoff: time-to-earn, category drift, and how often you’ve bought similar items. You can set “Enough Rules” like a monthly discretionary cap, one-in-one-out, or a 24-hour rule for items over $X. It’s not therapy and it won’t magically fix your finances; it’s a friction tool that reduces regret purchases and makes contentment measurable.
