Hi Product Hunt, I’m Max, the maker of COOLDOWN. 👋
The idea behind COOLDOWN is simple: give yourself a little room between wanting something and buying it.
Here’s how it works:
• Share a product link from a shop or paste it into the app. Review its details and note why you want it.
• Choose a cooling-off period. Countdowns, Home Screen widgets and optional reminders help you come back to it.
• Take a Second Look: read your original reason, rate how you feel now and reveal the photo when you choose. Buy it, let it go or give it more time.
A considered yes is just as welcome as a no.
COOLDOWN Plus offers more ways to reflect: try the activity before buying the thing, compare alternatives around one purpose, notice familiar temptations, keep a record of purchases you’re happy with and create an Unbought Receipt. Receipt amounts reflect captured prices, not guaranteed savings.
It’s available for iPhone, with your first five items free and optional monthly or yearly Plus subscriptions for unlimited new items and the extra perspectives. Product details from shops can vary, so you can correct them before saving.
I’d love your feedback: what would make you come back to a saved item and make a more considered decision?
