Before checkout

The cart wants an answer now. You don’t owe it one.

Put the purchase somewhere besides checkout. Miss Spent holds it until the urgency cools, then brings it back when you can decide without the countdown in your head.

The loop

Put the want somewhere besides checkout.

  1. 01
    Capture it.

    A jacket, a gadget, the 2 a.m. cart. Send the temptation to Miss Spent while the wanting is fresh.

  2. 02
    Let it cool.

    She puts it on ice for a few days. No verdict yet. Want has a short shelf life.

  3. 03
    Come back for the Reckoning.

    When time is up, make the call: the want survived, or it did not. Bought it? Record that too.

  4. 04
    If you pass, keep the money.

    Every no goes to the Stash, a running tally of the money you chose not to spend.

Inside the app

From “I want it” to money you kept.

Hand her the temptation.

Save the item while the wanting is fresh. Price, photo, and context stay with the decision instead of disappearing into another wishlist.

Keep the no.

Every purchase you walk away from adds its price to the Stash, a tally of spending avoided — not money moved into a bank account.

Your ledger can mirror through your private iCloud database when iCloud is available, and widgets keep the Stash, cooling pile, and ready docket close. Capture still works offline.

Price

The pause is free.

Capture, wait, Reckoning, and Stash cost $0. The optional Unlock is $19.99 once for extras and export. See pricing.

Account

No bank login. No NTL account.

Miss Spent does not need your bank feed to interrupt a purchase before checkout.

Questions before you hand her the cart.

What is Miss Spent?
Miss Spent: Impulse Spending is the App Store name for Miss Spent, an impulse spending app for iPhone that puts time between wanting something and paying for it. Its App Store subtitle is “Save what you don't buy.”
What happens after I send her something?
She puts it on ice for a cooling-off period, then brings it back for the Reckoning. If you skip it, the item’s price counts toward your Stash tally; no money is transferred.
What if I buy it anyway?
Tell her. She keeps an honest ledger, not a perfect one. Bought and skipped decisions both close the loop.
Can I send items from shopping apps?
Yes. Share from Safari or a shopping app that supports iOS sharing; fill in missing details, or photograph something when shopping in person.
Is the purchase-pause flow really free?
Yes. Capture, Pause, Reckoning, and Stash are free. The optional $19.99 one-time Unlock adds a second visual theme, a second Dame voice register, and Ledger export.
