How it works
- See something you want? Do not buy it yet. Add it here with its price.
- Pick a wait: a day for small things, a week, or 30 days for big buys.
- When the wait ends, ask yourself if you still want it. Tap Buy it or Skip it, and watch the money you did not spend add up.

Questions
How long should I wait?
A common rule: 1 or 2 days for small things, 1 week for medium buys and 30 days for big ones such as a phone or a sofa. Tap Custom for any number of days from 1 to 365. Most impulse wants fade within a few days.
What does “Not spent this year” mean?
It adds up the price of every item you tapped Skip it on this year (1 January to 31 December). It is money you were about to spend and did not. Skipping a 12,000 pair of shoes and a 25,000 watch shows 37,000. It starts again from 0 on 1 January; the all-time total is shown under it.
The price went down while I was waiting
Tap Edit and type the new price. The old price is kept, so the item shows “Was 18,500, now 16,900 (1,600 less)”. When you buy it, the saving is added to “Saved on price drops”.
I really need it soon
Open + I need it by a date when you add it: the wait ends on that day if it comes first. You can also tap Buy anyway before the wait ends; the app notes it was bought early.
Will it remind me when the wait ends?
The list shows Ready to decide at the top when you open it. For a phone reminder tap Remind me on an item: it saves a calendar file with a reminder at 9 in the morning on the day the wait ends.
Is it private? Does it work offline?
