What it does

Impulses puts a waiting period between you and every tempting purchase. Add any item, set 1–30 days, and decide only after the timer expires. Most urges fade on their own — the ones that don't are worth buying. No budgets. No guilt. Just time.

Stop overspending. Save money. Build mindful spending habits with waiting periods, streaks, and savings tracking.

The app you need when temptation hits. Put time between the urge and the purchase — then decide with a clear head. It's time to balance things out. Queue what you're tempted to buy, lock it behind a waiting period, and come back when the hype has cooled. Sort impulses by status — pending, locked, accepted, or rejected — so nothing slips through unnoticed. Tag each item to see where your weak spots are and what kind of urge you're actually fighting. Every impulse you resist adds up. Charts, totals, and streaks turn mindful spending into something you can actually measure. Watch totals grow and compare categories — so you know exactly what waiting has earned you. Build a run of days resisting…from cocoataster.com

  • Turn impulse buys into dream investments2025 · nopeit.app · ▲14

    Hi HN, I’ve always struggled with impulse buying—that late-night Amazon scroll or the "deal" that's too good to pass up. I realized I was trading long-term goals for short-term dopamine hits. The core problem is the frictionlessness of modern e-commerce. To fight back, I built Nope It. It’s not just another budgeting app. It's a PWA designed to interrupt the impulse loop at the critical moment. How it works is based on a few key psychological principles: Forced Pause (The Cooldown): Inspired by Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow," the app introduces a mandatory 24-hour cooldown on…

  • Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
