What it does
Pause impulse purchases with COOLDOWN, the mindful shopping app for iPhone. Save what you want, give it time, then choose to buy it, let go or wait longer.
The iPhone app that helps you pause impulse purchases. Save what catches your eye. Give it time. Decide what deserves a place in your life. Add a product you’re thinking about buying, so you can return to it later. Choose a cooling-off period. Give the impulse time to settle and yourself some room to think.

If you still want it after waiting, that can be a good decision,from cooldownapp.online
