The 10-Second Pause

We don't block you. We just give your prefrontal cortex a chance to catch up.
If it’s a necessity, type it in and unlock the app for 15 minutes. If it’s boredom, we help you close it.
Replaces emotional impulse with logical checking mechanisms, disrupting the automatic "feel-buy" loop. Identify patterns like 'Stress Shopping' vs 'Boredom'.
Friction reduces buying by 60%. We introduce just enough friction to wake you up without being annoying.
The "urge" wave typically lasts less than 10 minutes. If you wait it out, the chemical drive fades naturally.

It pays for itself in one Save.
