AI-powered tool to help you decide whether to buy, wait, or skip an impulse purchase based on your financial snapshot. Impulse Spend Blocker inserts a mandatory "cooldown" between your cart and your wallet. Whenever you try to checkout, the app pauses you with a 30-second reflection timer, asks a simple "Do you actually need this?", and stores it in a prioritized wishlist instead.
Hi PH community! I built this because I personally wasted over $500 last year on late-night 'treat myself' buys. The psychology is simple: if you force a 15-second pause and a mirror-question ('Do I really need this?'), impulse purchases drop by over 40% based on my own tests.
The cool part? I built the entire MVP using Lovable's AI in a single weekend—no prior front-end experience.
I'd love to hear your biggest impulse buy regrets, and if this would have stopped you! Let me know what features you'd add.
The 30 second cooldown is simple but it actually works, caught myself almost buying a third pair of headphones last night. Love that it just dumps everything into a wishlist instead of guilt tripping me.
Tried it on a couple of online checkouts and the 30 second pause genuinely made me rethink a few cart items I would have otherwise grabbed. The wishlist feature is a nice touch for actually following up later instead of forgetting about it.
Love that the 30-second reflection timer is non-negotiable rather than skippable, that one design choice is what actually makes it work.
