Cooldown is a private, local-first iPhone and iPad app that adds a thoughtful pause before online purchases. Browse normally in its protected browser or Safari extension. During hours you choose, it pauses Add to Cart, Buy Now, and checkout actions with a short countdown and a quiz, memory, or Snake reset. Save the item to reconsider later or continue when the pause ends. No accounts, ads, analytics, or cloud tracking—your schedule, waiting list, and history stay on your device.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
Cooldown started from a simple product idea: don’t stop someone from buying it—stop them from buying it right now.
It adds a small, deliberate pause at the moment of purchase without blocking normal browsing. Use its protected browser or Safari extension, choose protected hours, and Cooldown pauses Add to Cart, Buy Now, and checkout actions with a countdown plus a short quiz, memory, or Snake reset. You can save the item to reconsider later or continue once the pause ends.
The privacy model was non-negotiable: no account, ads, analytics, cloud tracking, or application-owned backend. Schedules, waiting items, and history stay on the device.
I’d love to hear how you create space between wanting something and buying it.
