A pause before purchase.
Impulse shows a gentle pause screen before you open shopping apps. Not a blocker. Not a budget app. Just a moment to ask yourself: "Do I really need this?"
Coming soon to iOS
By the time you think twice, you've already bought it.
You open Amazon to "just look."
Three taps later, it's in your cart.
Ten seconds after that, it's purchased.
Your brain moves faster than your budget. Budgeting apps don't help because you never open them at the right moment. Blockers don't work because you just disable them.
You don't need more willpower. You need a speed bump.
Dead simple.
Choose which apps to pause — Amazon, DoorDash, Target, whatever triggers you.
Open one of those apps. Before it loads, you see a pause screen.
Decide. Continue if you meant to. Close if you didn't. No judgment.
Friction, not force.
Impulse doesn't block anything. You're an adult — you can open whatever you want.
It just adds one moment of pause. That's often all it takes to break the autopilot loop.
Your brain doesn't need another app to check.
Most budgeting apps fail because they require you to remember to open them. That's executive function you don't have to spare.
Impulse does the remembering for you. It shows up exactly when you need it — the moment before you buy something you'll regret.
Set it once. Forget it exists. Let it catch you before you fall.
