A Chrome extension
Mindful Spend shows up right at checkout to ask if you need this or just want it. Needs go through immediately. Wants get a pause — and if you buy anyway, an honest check-in a day or two later.
Paid only — plans start at $10/month, or $50 once, forever. No free tier.
Three moments, and only one of them ever slows you down.
01
Land on a cart or checkout page, and a small card appears asking one thing first: is this a need, or a want?
02
Needs go through with one click, no further questions. Wants get an amount, an optional mood check, and three honest choices: buy it, wait 24 hours, or skip it.
03
Bought anyway? A day or two later, a quiet check-in asks how you feel about it — mood and a regret score, so patterns show up over time instead of disappearing.
Real screens, not mockups.
One plan, five ways to pay for it. Longer commitments cost less per month.
You'll choose a plan the first time you open the extension after installing. Tax is calculated and added at checkout based on your country.
Everything you log — decisions, amounts, moods — stays on your own device. There's no account, no login, and nothing is ever sent to a server except the one-time check that your license key is valid.
Because paying for something is part of what makes a habit stick. Think of it like a gym membership — the commitment is part of what gets you to actually show up. Free tools are easy to install and just as easy to forget about a week later; putting real money down gives the pause a reason to matter.
Yes — currency support covers every ISO currency your browser recognizes, and checkout tax is calculated for your country automatically.
